Proverbs 31

The Strong, Godly Woman

Proverbs 31 talks about the rarity and importance of a virtuous, godly woman. On Mothering Sunday, we wanted to take a moment to focus on those women that made the difference in our lives.

Thank you to the mothers and adopted moms — those that adopted us, or those that we adopted as motherly figures in our own lives — to show us how to be strong, confident, loving people of God. This sermon is all about how important you are to us. We thank you for taking good care of your sphere of influence to let God help shape us into who we are. And as for us, how well will we take care of our sphere of influence such that future generations can say the same about us?

2 Timothy 3:14-17

The Historical Reliability of the Word

This week we look at this book we call “The Bible”.

One of the core phrases that we want you to ask yourself: Do we really believe that what we believe is really real?

This is a fundamental question that Timothy was asking, and we wanted to look at the history of scripture and take a look at this “historical book” in conjunction with other historical books that are taken as fact.

Can we really take The Bible as fact like that? Let’s chat about it here.

Ephesians 1:7-9

The Gift of Redemption

Paul’s purpose of writing to the Ephesians was to let them know of the wonderful gift of Redemption they had through Jesus.

Redemption is the core of the gospel message. Jesus’ blood paid our price of death and separation. If we accept this, we have redemption — to be redeemed, reclaimed, made whole, to be set free. Our past does NOT define us. We have been redeemed for his purpose and plan.

Romans 6:8-11

Easter Sunday

Today we discuss the resurrection of Jesus Christ — more than the fact that he is risen, but the implications of it.

The resurection of Jesus from death means that we have a new purpose and identity. When we put our trust in his death, his resurection means that we are no longer who we were, but are made new. The old “self” is crucified with Christ. I encourage you to give yourself grace and see yourself through the same lense through which God sees you.

John 3:16-17

The Cross and Its Significance

The main point of the cross and Jesus on the cross was God’s love for us.

He doesn’t merely put up with us. He doesn’t just tolerate humanity. God is actively persuing a relationship with us. It is universal, every individual, despite our shortcomings and mistakes.

We praise God for Jesus, for his gift of taking the sin of those who trust and making it his own. Where do you stand in your faith? We’ll discuss more of that soon.

Isaiah 59:1-2

God’s Hand is Not Too Short

God is warning us that sin can hinder us from hearing him. Not that he’s not speaking. Not that he’s not reaching out. It is a warning, and another aspect of God’s love.

As you listen to this today, remember that God does love us. He does want to commune with us, to talk with us, to be with us. Our iniquities (chosen sins) cause divisions that separate us from being able to communicate with God.

But take heart… though we may make his job harder, God’s hand is NOT too short.
