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.

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.

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.

A Holy Nation

June 27, 2021SermonExodus, obedience, Peter, salvationBrad Harris

The LORD rescued the children of Israel from slavery and darkness. But that rescue was to bring them into relationship with the Living God. People need protection, provision, and guidance, and the LORD would provide that in order to bless them. And His blessing would include making them His own special people who would reveal Him to the nations around them as a kingdom of priests. This pattern is repeated through Christ in the new covenant. Christians are to be a peculiar people from all nations to be a holy nation and a kingdom of priests, serving God.

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.

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.

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.

Red Sea Resurrection

April 4, 2021SermonExodus, faith, Holiday, Moses, obedience, salvationBrad Harris

The LORD sets a trap, and Israel is the bait. God knows that Pharaoh has still not learned his lesson and already regrets his decision to let the Israelites leave. Pharaoh will send his army and chariots against God’s people to kill them or push them into a watery grave in the Red Sea. But the LORD has other plans. He parts the waters to make a dry path for His people to cross, luring the Egyptians to follow to their own destruction. the morning light showed that God’s servant had brought His people through death and grave to new life on the other side, a resurrection indeed!

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.
