More Reasons for Peace

Sermon, , ,

Jesus warns His apostles that trouble is coming that would squeeze the life out of them and try to make them fall away. And that He would not be physically with them as these troubles came. But in His warning, He also gives reasons for hope. They won’t be alone just the same as He wasn’t really alone when His followers fled. Through the Holy Spirit who would indwell them after Jesus departed, they would be equipped to not only can they survive, but they can overcome because Christ overcame through the Spirit. Not only do they have reasons for peace, but Christ gives them joy to the full.

God is Light

Sermon, ,

Excited to have a special speaker this Sunday as Mason preached from 1 John 1.  Using his science background, he teaches us a new perspective with the familiar phrase, “God is Light.”  Are we walking in the light of God’s Word and His Spirit with Christ and with His community of believers?

Baptism Proclaims

Sermon, , , , ,

Paul uses baptism to illustrate why we should be denying temptations to sin and living more like Christ. Which prompts us to examine baptism as Paul did in order to better understand the spiritual significance of this ordinance given by Christ the Lord.

Greater than Moses

Sermon, ,

Moses is kinda a big deal. God Himself called Moses a faithful servant and called him a friend that God spoke to face to face. When everyone else shrank away in fear, Moses answered the call of God to come into the fire to come closer to God. Could anyone ever measure up to being a prophet like Moses? God said there would be. Only the Messiah Himself could measure up and exceed the standard set by Moses. Let’s see a few ways that’s possible.

Faithful through Persecution

Sermon, , , , , , ,

Stephen was a faithful witness, even through opposition, persecution, and death.  But the seeds of the gospel that he had sown in his death did not produce immediate fruit.  Instead, a chief persecutor arose who wreaked havoc on the church, scattering them from Jerusalem.  Why would God allow this to happen to His infant church?  Instead, Jesus prepared His followers for this eventuality, knowing that what the world had done to Him, the world would do to His followers.  And He prepared His followers with great promises that His faithfulness would empower them to be faithful.

Christ is Living

Sermon, , ,

Jesus Christ is the Living One who became dead and, behold, is the Living One for all eons of time.  As the Lamb who was slain and who lives and reigns, these are His credentials for being Judge of all humanity.  We ponder at Easter that the resurrection is an essential part of our salvation, but it is also critical part of the Son of Man’s earning the role as Judge of all the earth.  He invites us to get to know Him as Savior before we stand before Him as our Judge.

Bronze Serpent and Jesus

Sermon, , ,

What would be an obscure story from the Israelites journey through the wilderness is used by Jesus to teach Nicodemus about Himself and the offer of eternal life. Jesus will be lifted up (like the bronze serpent) and those who look to Him in faith will find better than healing from deadly snake venom. They will be saved from sin and eternal perishing.

Bread of Life

Sermon, , , , , ,

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.

Beloved to Love

Sermon, ,

John was transformed from the “son of thunder” to the apostle of love by his experiences with Christ and lifelong fellowship with God through the Holy Spirit. He challenges us to abide more deeply with the God who manifested His love at the cross so that we might love those whom He loves so sacrificially. Let us love one another.
