Be Courageous

Sermon, , ,

It had been forty long years in the wilderness for the children of Israel. Yet there would be apprehension and fear. Moses had died, the Promised Land had scary and mean people in it, and they were not sure they had what it took to succeed. But the LORD reminds the new leader, Joshua, just what true success looks like – relationship with the LORD who will not leave us not forsake us.

Joshua 1:1-9

Thomas saw and believed

Sermon, , ,

All of the disciples had to be convinced that Jesus had truly defeated death and the grave. But Thomas gets singled out for being the last to see and believe. And thus, Jesus tells him and us that there is a greater blessing for those who believe without seeing based on the testimony of these skeptical witnesses.

Peace of Mind – Peace of God

Sermon, , , ,

The Prince of Peace has come to establish peace on earth. The first order of business is Peace with God (reconciling rebellious humans with the Holy God). Having peace with God then sets one up to experience the Peace of God (a peace that surpasses understanding and earthly circumstances). As the LORD told through Isaiah and Paul, a peace that guards the heart and mind.

God Thinks About You

Sermon, , , ,

If our thoughts that we think shape our life, what kind of thoughts are you thinking? Have you thought about your thoughts? Do you think someone else is thinking of you? God is thinking of you. And David began thinking about what God thinks of him and the product of that thinking is Psalm 139. Let’s think about what God thinks of you.

Looking unto Jesus

Sermon, , , , , ,

As both our example of faith and the object of our faith, Jesus stands as the climax of Hebrews 11 and its list of heroes. Thus let us run the course set before us with endurance. There are hindrances to be set aside. There will be hostility from opposition. But looking unto Jesus, we see Him on the other side of those sacrifices and seated at the right hand of God. Let’s Go!

The Father guides in the desert

Sermon, , , , ,

Why does God allow the hard times in our lives?  Does He have a purpose for those dry, challenging circumstances we face?  Moses reminds the children of Israel and us that like a good Father, God brings us through the desert wilderness to test us and prepare us for greater victories ahead, if we will learn the lessons of the wilderness.

Saved to Uttermost

Sermon, , ,

So Great a Salvation we have in Jesus Christ.  He saves those who follow Him to the uttermost with His once for all sacrifice of Himself and always making intercession for us (that we need), until the salvation is perfected in Him.

Steadfast in the Faithful God

Sermon, , ,

Growing in wisdom.  James challenged his readers and us to call out to God for wisdom right after telling them to rejoice in tribulation for the endurance it produces in the believer’s life.  No coincidence.  James had seen in the life of Jesus that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.  And wisdom is to trust God even when the challenges of our life don’t make sense.  And Christ sustains us when we seek to trust Him above trusting our reasoning.

When we feel like giving up.

Sermon, , ,

Elijah was a man who had the same weaknesses as we all do, yet he was also a man of faith used by God in miraculous ways.  But we pause today to examine his humanity so that we might find hope and encouragement from the grace shown him in his time of weakness.
