Sermons

This morning we will look at Genesis 18 and the question that God asked Sarah. He asked, “why did you laugh?” The question exposed Sarah’s doubt in God’s word. The story also gives us the opportunity to be reminded that the good news of God’s redemptive love gives to us the opportunity to laugh with God in joy. So, the question can still be asked, “why do you laugh?”

This week we start a new sermon series titled: The Questions God Asks Us. The first question from God in the bible is asked of Adam and Eve. “Where are you?” This question challenges us to understand that God is still seeking us. All of His questions in the scriptures reveal his redemptive love. A love that does not leave us alone in our sin but seeks us to save us and open our eyes to His presence.

As we prepare for Vacation Bible School and consider all the work that goes into this effort, it is important to remember that we serve for saving of souls. The human soul is precious to God and should be precious to us. The value of our own soul should be considered as well as the many souls around us.

his weeks message completes James chapter 4 and picks up the first 12 verses of chapter 5. James here adds four warnings for those living the life of faith in Jesus Christ. Again a practical teaching that touches the realities of everyday life. James warns us about: seeking our will over God’s will, unrighteous wealth, to not tire of waiting on the Lord, and the fact that our words do matter.

Following Jesus is more than just Bible Study. Perhaps the biggest objection that unbelievers have in following Jesus is the hypocrisy of "Christians". But those believers who are truly wise have a faith that impacts how they live with other people. This Sunday's message from James 3:13-18 will expose the hellish "wisdom" that we may be tempted to live by and exhort us to a heavenly wisdom that reveals the goodness of our Lord Jesus.
