The Way Up is Down

All of us must learn the way up is the way down. To draw near to God is a process not of being elevated but humbled. We will see this from Jonah 2, that it is not about us, it is all about God.

Passage: Jonah 2

The Stubborn Prophet and the Compassionate God

Jonah is a most interesting character, a prophet of God, meant to be faithful and obedient to the command of God is instead rebellious and stubborn. He is deserving of nothing but God's judgement and yet he rather encounters the God of endless compassion. This a story of God's rebellious people and his unending mercy and grace towards them.

The Glorious Church

As Christian , what is the most important thing for formation as strong, mature Christians? It is the Church. God has ordained that the Church would be the place of growth and nourishment for his people as well as the means through which the gospel would spread in the world. The Church is so important and yet it is so neglected today. Let's look with fresh eyes at the importance and necessity of the Church in our lives and in the world.

The World to Come

Today we are addressing a topic of much importance. We are talking about the world to come. We must acknowledge that this world is one day going to die, but there is a world to come that will never pass away. Jesus has called us to live as though this life is not all there is. So how are we to do that? Well's let's explore that together in the 4th sermon of our Church Responds series.

Spiritual Warfare

Is there a spiritual world or not? In the western world we all but entirely removed the idea from our minds. Even those that believe in one barely acknowledge it in their everyday lives. But as Christians it is of the utmost importance. For we are at war with a spiritual enemy, and if we do not understand, and if we do not learn how to wage the good warfare, to fight to good fight. We will find ourselves on the losing side.

Why The Nations Rage?

Nations and world powers act with impunity. They are unrestrained, able to do whatever they wish. But is that really true, is the king of the universe powerless before the world leaders? That is the question we will look at today, as we look for ways to find hope in this world and as we think through how to respond to the state of this world as a Christian. Follow me as explore Psalm 2 and see what is the truth behind who is really in control of this world.

Passage: Psalms 2

Jesus, Our Greatest Need

We feel like we are surrounded by evil in this world. We want someone who will defeat the wickedness around us. That person is Jesus. In this wicked world, we can be led to believe and hope in human inventions, in earthly means, but they will always fail us. We need God, we need Jesus, and we need to remember that he is our greatest need in the midst of this evil world. No one has been able to overcome the world, to defeat evil except for him, Jesus.

Love On Another

Jesus said they will know my disciples by their love for one another. Yet so often the church is seen as judgemental, gossipy, and unwelcoming. Today we will be exploring what it means to live out the command to love one another. How we are to persevere in pursuit of this goal, and to understand the power in the little acts of service we do each day.
