The Promise of Compassion
As we light the second Advent candle, the candle of Peace, we reflect on The Promise of Compassion, rooted in God’s tender mercy and fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. Advent reminds us of the hope, love, joy, and peace Christ brings, calling us to embody His compassion.
Greatness in God’s Eyes
As we go about our daily lives, we are consistently confronted with the idea of greatness. Whether it be sports, the business world, or even the realm of social media, we are always chasing after greatness. Our secular culture often defines greatness as power, wealth, or status. Interestingly, this is not only true of our modern era; in Mark 10:35-45, two of Jesus’ closest disciples (James and John) were caught up in this idea of greatness. They pleaded with Jesus for positions of honor and glory, to be seated at our Lord’s right and left hand.
Handled with Prayer
his sermon concludes the study of James, focusing on the practical outworking of faith and the vital role of prayer in the Christian life. James teaches that faith must be lived out in action, encouraging believers to turn to prayer in all
circumstances—whether facing trouble, sickness, or joy.
Isreal in God’s Plan
Sermon Summary – August 18, 2024
Two theological positions hinder Jewish outreach: dual covenant theology and replacement theology. God’s covenants with Israel can be conditional or unconditional. His promises were fulfilled, are being fulfilled, or will be fulfilled in the end-time future. God’s covenant with Abraham was unconditional (Genesis 12:1-4), and so was the Land promise (Gen. 15:18-21).
Good Friday March 29
In this poignant sermon for Good Friday, delivered during a service with Communion by Intinction, the congregation is invited to reflect deeply on the raw emotions and struggles of life, particularly in the face of suffering and loss. Drawing from the Psalm reading and personal experiences, the speaker acknowledges the existence of “Bad Fridays” – moments of deep despair and questioning where it feels as though God is silent and distant.
