Rule of the Spirit

Sermon, , , ,

Paul gives a personal glimpse of the struggles he felt between his old way of living (the rule of sin) and his new life in Christ (rule of Spirit). There were daily defeats but the war is already won in Christ. And so it is with us who are in Christ.

Know your Shepherd

Sermon, Testimony, , ,

For a few minutes, we look at what is hopefully a very familiar passage of Scripture – Psalm 23.  The hope is that each of us growing increasingly familiar with not only Psalm 23 but also with the LORD, the Shepherd of Psalm 23.  Then when the trying times comes, we already have depth with the One who cares for our souls.

Forgiven for Relationship

Sermon, ,

If the LORD did a countdown of our sins, who would be safe? But instead, the LORD offers forgiveness, desiring to be reconciled to sinners. And as sinners consider the means by which a holy, righteous God punished sin and brought mercy to sinners, we grow in fear and reverence toward such a wise, loving, and faithful God. The LORD brought together justice and mercy at the cross of Jesus Christ, His Son.

Repent to Worship

Sermon, , , ,

This little psalm flows out of a spiritual disaster for David and all Israel. But you need not to have murdered someone to utilize and value this gem of a prayer to the LORD. This psalm guides us in how to confess our sin and ask for restoration from God toward worship of His greatness.
For background, read 2 Samuel 11-12. And for follow-up, read Psalm 32.

The Righteousness of God

Sermon, ,

The poetry of the Psalms can be hard for non-Hebrew readers to understand at times. But the middle section of Psalm 36 crosses the language barrier, even if not all the words do. The covenant love and righteousness of the LORD is extolled in superlatives to remind us why we should trust our lives and joys to His capable hands even when we don’t understand His decisions.

Bow to the King

Sermon, , ,

Which king reigns?
What we see is not all that is going on. There is more at work. But what is revealed from the council room of heaven is even more important. The conversation between Father and Son determines the outcome of the question, which King reigns? We must choose how to respond to this important intel. Believe what we see or believe what is revealed.

Ponder the Blessing

Sermon, , ,

The gospel is simple enough for a child yet profound enough to challenge the elders for all of their years. And the Scriptures reward those who seek, no matter how many times the seekers return to the fountain. Psalm 1 reminds us that God and His Word are worth the effort of chewing on His truth. At the start of a new year, let’s no falter in our pursuit of letting God’s Words change us.
