Celebrate God's Grace - 9.14 Sermon
We all know the feeling of joy and relief that comes when you find something that was lost. That feeling is what Jesus is trying to stir up in us with these stories. He wants us to celebrate God's grace, when it's shown to us, and when it's shown to others.
The Gospel in Real Life - 9.7 Sermon
At first glance the book of Philemon seems like an outdated book that would have nothing to teach us today. After all, it occurs within the context of slavery. But in this story, we learn how God's grace can work even in messy situations. Even in situations where there is not the kind of resolution we would like to see. In fact, it's there that the gospel shines all the more brightly.
Know Where You Stand - 8.24 Sermon
It's an anxious feeling not to know where you stand. This can be true in any relationship, but it's especially true with God. If you don't know where you stand, it can be a terrible thing. The writer to the Hebrews warns us in this reading against false security in our relationship with God, but then he shows us that we can be confident and know where we stand with God.
Fix Your Eyes on Jesus - 8.17 Sermon
Why is God letting this happen to me? In times of suffering, it's natural for us to ask questions like that. In Hebrews 12, the writer doesn't give us every answer we're looking for, but he does encourage us to fix our eyes on Jesus, who not only helps us understand the purpose of our suffering, but who suffered himself and promises to be with us in our suffering.
Do Not Fear, Little Flock - 8.10 Sermon
Why do we worry so much when we know it doesn't help? And is there anything we can do to help us stop worrying? Jesus teaches us about worry in Luke 12:22-34, and he helps us correct three misunderstandings that lead to worry: what our life is, who we are, and who God is.
