Missing the blessing

October 17, 2021Sermonendurance, Exodus, Joshua, Moses, Numbers, wisdomBrad Harris

Ten of the spies forgot what they knew to be true once they saw what was ahead. Thus they doubted and believed lies. When we forget the truth, we are just as vulnerable to doubt and fear. Let’s remind ourselves today of what is eternally true.

Necessary for Obedience

September 26, 2021Sermondevotions, endurance, God's will, Love, Luke, worshipBrad Harris

Jesus beautifully illustrated the command to love one’s neighbor with the story of the Good Samaritan, where someone who had no reason to show compassion to a hurting person went above and beyond to help. But how can one have that kind of love for another? The following episode that Luke reports shows that Jesus answers that question for Mary and Martha. The most needful thing is to sit at the feet of Jesus to learn of His love.

Lose All to Gain All

We were privileged to have Jo from Thailand preach the word of God for us after sharing about his work in Bangkok. His message was from Matthew 13:44-46 and includes the stirring story of Jim Eliot. What is your treasure? Are you willing to lose all in order to gain the treasure of Christ?

Jesus is our Sabbath

July 18, 2021Sermonendurance, faith, Hebrews, obedienceBrad Harris

The Sabbath reminds us of the Creation Ideal. The Sabbath reminds us of our redemption. The Sabbath reminds us of the Eternal Hope. The Sabbath is fulfilled in Christ Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath. The pastor of Hebrews challenges his readers to not miss out on this opportunity to participate by faith in God’s gift of rest in Jesus Christ. There is no other rest. Not today. Not for eternity.

Continue Steadfastly

June 6, 2021SermonActs, Church, devotions, discipleship, endurance, obedience, prayer, salvationBrad Harris

Peter spoke to the crowd in Jerusalem that gathered to discover the meaning of the wind and fire. His message was that the Messiah whom they had crucified had risen from the dead (as promised by God) and now ascended to the right hand of the Father in triumph. Now was the time to repent and believe the testimony. Many chose to do just that, proclaiming their faith in the Messiah with baptism. But louder still was their changed life. Steadfastly, they continued to learn from the apostles and in fellowship with the believers. They ate together and prayed together.

Water from the Rock

April 25, 2021Sermonendurance, Exodus, faith, life, Moses, prayer, WildernessBrad Harris

The LORD is remarkably patient with His new nation of Israelites. Although they have not done well with the previous exams, the third exam asks about if they will heed their thirst or trust. He patient, even though, once again, they choose contention instead of contentment. It is a test they will face again in the wilderness (Numbers 20). And it is one we face more than we realize. Will we choose to hallow His name with honor or will we defame His grace with doubt?

Bread of Life

April 18, 2021SermonDeuteronomy, endurance, Exodus, faith, John, life, obedienceBrad Harris

Within a month of their miraculous deliverance from Egypt followed by the Red Sea crossing, the children of Israel are having second thoughts on having left their slavery. Their food ran out. But the LORD allowed them to hunger in order to test them and feed them in His own miraculous way. But the manna from heaven was only a physical symbol of a spiritual reality that we all need to learn. Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from God.

Bitterness Healed

April 11, 2021Sermonendurance, Exodus, God's willBrad Harris

headline

Bitterness or Blessing. Will we have the faith to turn from our fear and seek God’s provision. The LORD will lead us often times through the wilderness badlands in order that we won’t be distracted from our relationship with Him. But as we see in our story today, God is leading us to places of refreshment if we will follow Him.

The Showdown Begins

March 14, 2021Sermonendurance, Exodus, Moses, salvationBrad Harris

Moses and Aaron will represent the LORD in His plan to make the Egyptians know that the LORD is God, even in Egypt. And Pharaoh’s stubborn resistance will cooperate in giving God Almighty more opportunity to show Himself stronger than all the gods of Egypt, including Pharaoh himself.

Moses Shares Good News

March 7, 2021Sermondiscipleship, Discouragement, endurance, Exodus, MosesBrad Harris

Moses is recruited by God Almighty for the deliverance of the children of Israel. First recruit by Moses is his brother Aaron and together they mobilize the elders of Israel to believe that the LORD is about to rescue them. But their first encounter with Pharaoh leaves much to be desired. In fact, the king of Egypt has made things worse for the nation of slaves, just as the LORD had forewarned would happen. But God is neither surprised nor hampered by the rebellion of men.
