Moses and Our Rock

November 7, 2021Sermonendurance, God's will, Numbers, obedienceBrad Harris

Moses has faithfully led the people through forty years since the exodus from Egypt. While not a perfect man, he has a good track record. But even Moses had a bad day and let the LORD down. But the LORD has His plan and our failures cannot thwart His plan. The Rock of our salvation will provide for us. And that day has lessons for us.

Purpose in the Wilderness

October 31, 2021SermonDeuteronomy, endurance, God's will, life, Numbers, obedienceBrad Harris

The children of Israel refused to trust God and questioned His love, preferring instead to die in the wilderness than enter the promised land. So the LORD gave them death in the wilderness for the next forty years. But God had other purposes for the wilderness for the children of those generations of rebels. His mercy may not always feel like mercy, if we learn the lessons of the wilderness, we are prepared for our promised land of heaven.

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.

Love Your Neighbor

August 15, 2021SermonChurch, Corinthians, God's will, Love, Matthew, obedience, PeterBrad Harris

Jesus summed up all the Law and Prophets into two commands: Love God and love your neighbor (Matt 22:35-40). And for some reason, this can be more convicting than the individual commands He gave at Sinai. And the last few months and especially the last week has revealed in town hall meetings that even Christians fail miserably with the command to love your neighbor as yourself.

Valuable Parents

August 1, 2021SermonEphesians, God's will, obedience, Paul, wisdomBrad Harris

Ten Commands from the LORD. The middle is the command to honor your mother and father. The Spirit through Paul repeats and elaborates on this command in his letter to the Ephesians. Minor children obey. Adult children honor. Parents lead children to Christ. To model Christ as He modeled God the Father is an impossible assignment. But He gives grace and His Spirit with His commands to those who believe.

God Comes First

July 4, 2021SermonDeuteronomy, discipleship, Exodus, God's will, obedience, wisdomBrad Harris

We start our series on the 10 Commandments. And the first commands are that God comes first, in everything. First in our allegiance, loyalty, and love – God has liberated His people to be their Protection, Provider, and Guide. And nothing else (money, person, ideology, nor state) can do what He has already done. Thus He deserves no competition for our attention.

Messiah in Psalms

May 30, 2021SermonDavid, Genesis, God's will, Hebrews, Matthew, obedience, Psalm, Revelation, worshipBrad Harris

David was a prophet in that the Spirit revealed things about David’s superlative descendant as David wrote his poetry for the Psalter. The psalms are rich in messages about the Messiah. Psalm 110 stands above many in the mysteries it reveals about the coming King and Priest and Judge. We spend a few minutes unpacking the treasurers of Jesus placed within Psalm 110.

The Kingdom is Here

May 16, 2021SermonActs, God's will, Luke, salvation, SpiritBrad Harris

The King of kings was born humbly, anointed by the Holy Spirit at His baptism by John, manifested with power through miracles and teaching with authority. The King defeated His enemies: sin, death, the devil, and the grave. He was unmistakably proven that He is alive to His closest followers, empowering them to be witnesses of His kingdom. That is the their new commission, testify to the resurrection authority of the King who has ascended to His throne and is coming again in like manner.

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.

Hard of Heart

March 21, 2021SermonExodus, God's will, Moses, obedience, RepentanceBrad Harris

The LORD warns Pharaoh and the rest of us that it is dangerous to keep rebelling against God Almighty. In His judgment, there is mercy. For those who heed the warning, they can spare themselves some suffering. Better still, those who not only heed the warning, but bring themselves under the protection of God in relationship through His Savior, these people are rescued from wrath and brought into the peace and rest of God.
