Loyal in Faith

Sermon, , ,

“The eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is pure toward Him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9).
Jehoshaphat is tested later in his life to see his devotion and dependence upon the God of Israel. The good king’s faith is not in vain. The LORD delivers so that we too will know that the battle is not ours but is the LORD’s. Just trust in Him.

Run with Endurance

Sermon, , ,

Having heard the testimony of these heroes of the faith and that God testifies of their faith, we are inspired to run with endurance the race of faith set before us. But we must look steadfastly at Jesus in order to stay the course and finish well, for He is the One to have blazed the trail and finished the challenge against all the obstacles. Otherwise, we will grow weary and despair along the way. But God has better things ahead for those who finish. It is worth it!

Noah found grace

Sermon, , , , ,

Noah found grace

Noah sought God while living in a world that ignored God at best and defied God more often than not. And by his faith, Noah found grace in God’s sight. And God rewards those who seek Him. The LORD showed Noah the coming judgment and the plan for salvation from the condemnation. Noah by faith, trusted and obeyed the plan of God and rescued himself and his household from the judgment against sin.

Faith works

Sermon, , , ,

Paul preaches that we are saved by faith and not by works. James preaches that your faith should be accompanied by works or it’s not faith. And both point to Abraham as proof. Who is right? The Holy Spirit of course! Jesus is always right.

Imputed Righteousness

Sermon, , , ,

Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Lots of ways to translate that one word – imputed, reckoned, counted, credited, and accounted. But we don’t have righteousness without Christ, but by grace through faith in Jesus we can be credited His righteousness. And that makes all the difference.

The Justice of God

Sermon, , , , ,

Justice is a core value of who God is. It is deplorable to Him when injustice takes place – both the punishment of good and the promotion of wickedness. Yet last week we saw that none of us are good. We all have sinned and enjoyed it, guilty before a righteous God. Thankfully mercy is also a core value. God the Father and God the Son orchestrated a plan before time in order to remain righteous and just while also rescuing sinful humans from sin in order to give them righteousness.

The Righteous by Faith Shall Live

Sermon, , ,

Paul writes to the church in Rome to introduce himself. And to know Paul is to know his passion for the gospel of Jesus Christ. So this lengthy letter from the apostle is more about the salvation message than the messenger himself. And his thesis statement is that Jesus has provided righteousness to all sinners who believe Him.

Faithful to Pray

Sermon, , ,

Jesus used the story of a self-serving judge and a persistent widow to teach His disciples how much better God the Father is at answering prayer. But will we trust that He hears and answers our prayers in His good timing? Will we be found faithful when He comes?

From the ears to the Mouth

Sermon, , , ,

Now that our heart spoke through our mouth of our faith in Lord Jesus, now we are all sent with beautiful feet to tell others to hear of the good news of Jesus the Messiah so that they too can believe in their heart and confess with their mouth of their trust in Lord Jesus. And as we tell those in our circle of influence, we help send others to go beyond our circle to around the area and around the world.
