In the Beginning (Genesis 1:1-2:3)
We are beginning a new series in Genesis. Which should prove to be a fascinating series. This book is chock full of captivating and pertinent stories. And it sets the stage for the major themes in Scripture. Genesis 1 is a prophetic declaration of the King’s dominion over all things and it serves as a corrective to pagan myths and establishes the one truth God as king…
The True Vine (John 15:1-11)
The fullness of human life is lived as we live in connection with the Vine, the one who gives life.
Repent or Perish! (Luke 13:1-9)
In the opening passage from Luke 13, Jesus responds to some in the crowds who thought they were not sinners because others had suffered more. They reasoned that since God is just, those who suffer must be great sinners. However, Jesus reveals this line of reasoning to be false and rooted in self-righteousness. The reality is that each and everyone will perish without…
If You Have Ears, Listen Well (Luke 8:1-21)
There is a difference between hearing words and truly hearing what Jesus says. We must hear well if we are going to let the Word of God root deeply in our hearts and respond in obedience to Him.
The Nature of Genuine, Spiritual Christianity (Luke 5:33-6:11)
In this passage, we see Jesus rebuke the Pharisees for their insistence on placing tradition and cultural religion above a true, spiritual relationship with the Living God. There is much false, cultural Christianity among us and there is a need to discern what is truly genuine Christianity. The…
The Sovereignty of the (real) King (1 Kings 18:1-2, 17-19)
In this passage, we see that Yahweh is the God of life, not the false idols we create in our own lives. Baal (the rain god of life) had no power to actually make it rain and sustain people. Yahweh, on the other had, is fully capable of bringing and sustaining life, physical and spiritual, and does…
The Mark of a Righteous and Faithful Servant (1 Kings 18:2-16)
In this message, we see Obadiah, a faithful and righteous servant of God, who also happened to be the head of Ahab’s household, the most wicked king Israel had seen. Rather than resign his position, Obadiah shows us what faithful and righteous service to God looks like. In the midst of a…
The Kingdom of the Otherwise (1 Kings 16:28-17:1)
The first sermon from the series “The Kingdom of the Otherwise,” based on the life of Elijah and Elisha from 1 and 2 Kings. In this series we look at what it means to live in full obedience to God. We see the repercussions of disobedience as well as the hope of obedience. We always have…
Risk, Rejoice, Remember (Ecclesiastes 11:1-12:8)
True wisdom, for it to bear its fruit of righteousness and a meaningful life in God must take risks. True wisdom also leads to a life that is full of rejoicing. True wisdom remembers God and lives according to His ways before it is too late. Life is but a vapor and is gone before we realize it. The…
