Reaching the Lost. Discipling the Saved. Sharing the Love of Jesus with Everyone.
“God is faithful. He has chosen you to share life with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
1 Corinthians 1:9 (NirV)
“We have this confidence
You’ll finish what You started
God, You have never failed
You won’t start with me
You’re present in every step
Patient in every heartache
God, You have never failed
You won’t start with me”
Today we see how God, who started His good work in us will continue to work on us; and He is faithful in all He does!
I died to the Law through the Law, so that I could live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in my body, I live by faith, indeed, by the faithfulness of God’s Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:19–20 (CEB)
St. Paul loves the people in the churches he’s visited.
That is true with the Church in Galatian, too.
He labored there for some time and then was absent for some time.
While absent, some of the Jews were trying to convince the Gentile believers that they had to fulfill all of the Law and regulations (even though they themselves couldn’t!), contrary to what Jesus and the Gospel is all about.
In this sermon series, we will walk through the book where Paul works to correct this fatal error cropping in to the Church – lovingly, but firmly!
We hope you’ll join us for this Galatians sermon series!
“God is faithful. He has chosen you to share life with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
1 Corinthians 1:9 (NirV)
“All things are possible
When we believe
Old chains are breakable
When we receive
Yahweh
You keep Your promises”
We focus on God’s Power today, never having to worry about anything, because if the Almighty is for us, it doesn’t matter who’s against us!
Starting August 1, we will begin a three week sermon series entitled, “Man Of Your Word,” based on the song by Maverick City Music.
This song will focus us on God’s Power, God’s Faithfulness, and God’s Word as the important things to focus on and put our faith in through Jesus, instead of all that distracts us in the world.
Join us for a new sermon series which explores the time between when Jesus rose and when He ascended!
We’ll cover:
We hope you’ll join us!
What is The Apostles’ Creed and why is it important? Why should we even have one? Who is it for and about Whom does it speak?
We will answer these and more questions in our new series: “The Apostles’ Creed!”
We are at the manger of the Promised Savior tonight!
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
We complete our Advent journey to the manger today.
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 14:27
“Peace” seems pretty fleeting in our current world, country, and culture. Yet that’s what we’re called to! We are to be the ambassadors of God’s peace in our families, our communities, and our culture. That doesn’t mean there will be no hostilities around us, but that in and through them, we are sharing the One who brings peace amidst and through the chaos. We share the coming Jesus as the One through whom chaos and hostilities have been conquered. We share Jesus, Who blesses the world with hope through the peace only He can – and has – given! Bring it, Lord!
We continue our Advent journey to the manger today.
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
John 8:58
Our lives are temporary. By extension, so are all our hardships and troubles. Every difficulty we are going through will end! We often forget that. We also forget that, through Jesus, we have an eternity to look forward to where there will be no crying or hardships or pain. Those will have passed away forever! When we backup and look at our current challenges through that lens, it is a lot easier to endure them and see them for what they are – a very small, very temporary setback that will be forgotten!
We continue our Advent journey to the manger today.
You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.
Psalm 89:26
One of the many things this pandemic has taught us is just how powerless we are! We seem to be dragged into situations and predicaments we feel helpless to change. Working and schooling from home, or mandates of what will or will not be open (and the loss of livelihood that may follow!), and other things can make us feel, well, weak. But we have a God who is mighty and nothing that is or can happen is too big for Him! His is over all of this and, because He loves and cares for us, we know that His power is exercised in a way that will work out for our good! That’s His mighty promise – and He always keeps His Word! The Incarnation is proof of that! So rise up, mighty child of God! Your Savior has come!
We begin our Advent journey to the manger today.
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned.
Isaiah 40:1-2b
Jesus’ incarnation means that we have a God Who not only knows what we’re going through because He made us and knows everything, but also because He became like us in the flesh! So when we are down or going through a difficult time, we can go to Him and know He not only knows what we’re going through, but can empathize with us and do something about it! And His counsel is always best, right, loving, and caring! What an awesome God we have with us in Jesus!
“Truth. Love. JESUS!” That has been our theme these past many weeks.
John thought those themes so important he repeated them throughout this book.
As we draw to a close, may we must never forget the TRUTH that Jesus died and rose for our sins and eternal life; the LOVE that is God and exhibited through that sacrifice; and the One who all history and salvation centers around, JESUS HIMSELF!
May we always hold to this TRUTH and LOVE, found in JESUS!
“This is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.”
1 John 5:11
