Abram learns what it means to live by faith. God makes promises to Abram and he believes God, or does he? There's little doubt there, and you hear it in his response. We all have doubts. We pray that this sermon on Genesis 15 will encourage you and bring you closer to God as you grow in faith in the midst of your own doubt.

Abraham, is learning very quickly that his new God would not tolerate his old ways of worshiping the moon god. He used to pay tribute to the moon god but in this passage we see Abraham now gives to the LORD because he wants everyone to know that he no longer worships the moon god, he worships the Most High. When we give sacrificially we remind ourselves where our true allegiance is. Who do you worship? You can find out if you look at your bank statement.

Abraham, enters Egypt to save his family. But he is so afraid for his life that he gives his wife to the Pharaoh! The wife who was to bear a son that God promised would bless all the nations! Not the stereotypical picture of father Abraham. But we have fear too. What can we learn from this man of faith about our own fear?

Abraham, as the first disciple, worships by building an altar. But there's more going on here than piling up stones. Abraham worships the Lord by waging war on the gods of the land he arrived in. How should this shape our own worship? Come along with us on this journey know the Lord and follow him.

In Genesis 11/12 we find the world in the throws of sin and chaos. And at this point, God does something different than He had done before. He calls a family into discipleship. God decides to fix the world through the holiness of a family. God is calling you into a new life! Will you answer that call?

This Psalm was written in exile, just when the people of God were losing hope in worldly power, and beginning to trust that God would have to do something different. They asked God for more of Him.

King Jesus is better than all the ancient myths. He is better than any other story we could possibly imagine!

David tells us in beautiful language how beautiful it is to be planted in the house of the Lord.

David wrote this Psalm in the aftermath of taking another man wife, then having him killed and then covering it up like nothing happened. You may not see yourself in this story, but self absorption leads to blindness so how could you? 4 simple words helped David to see himself for who he really was. We pray they will help you also to see that "you are the man" in this story of being blinded by sin, and that it would bring you to repentance.

According to Psalm 133 unity is tied to salvation. Is eternal life only for the "unified church"? In this sermon on Psalm 133 we see the beautiful picture of unity unfold as King David looks back on the consecration of Aaron as the first high priest if God's people!

In Psalm 72 David offers a prayer for his son who will take his place. He prays for prosperity, but it doesn't really look like the way we define prosperity. David knows that in the Kingdom of God less is more.

If prayer was suddenly taken away from you, how would your life change? Or would it change at all? We look at prayer as a life giving conversation that we should certainly engage in more frequently.

Many men have used this passage to exploit women, children, and justify slavery. To exert power over people in the name of God. This passage, however, is about giving up power. We pray this sermon on Colossians 3 will draw you closer to the Lord.

The Apostle Paul digs deep into Christian life. Paul want you to see that there's nothing in your life that Christ does not change. Because Christ IS your life!

The Colossian Church has brought their traditions into the gospel of Christ. Paul is saying in this passage that Christ is enough. The Gospel is enough. Which seems simple enough, but still seem to do the same thing today.

Paul's message to the Colossian Church couldn't be more timely. The church in North America is sleepwalking its way into the occult. More Christians than ever before are looking outside the gospel for peace, meaning, and deliverance. They're looking to crystals, palm readers, horoscopes, astrology, etc. And they're opening a door to the demonic in their lives that will destroy them.

Everybody needs hope. But where do we find true hope? Real hope? Deep hope? Who is our only hope in life and death? Paul points us to three things that reveal the secret of this hope.

The people of God are forgetting what they believe about Jesus. So the Apostle Paul sings over them.

Giving thanks and making prayers is the secret to flourishing as the church of Jesus Christ. It is the secret to a faithful and fruitful life in Christ!
