When You Don’t Know What to Say
When You Don’t Know What to Say Romans 8:26-27 “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And He who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Romans 8:26-27). “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died,…
The New You
The New You Colossians 3:1-11 The Bible teaches a great promise. Through faith in Jesus Christ, God can completely transform you — not just improve you, but make you new in identity, heart, and purpose. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” This means your old self — defined by sin and separation from God — is replaced by a new self…
Cast Your Burdens Upon the Lord
Cast Your Burdens Upon the Lord 1 Peter 5:5-8 Life can often feel like an uphill battle. Between financial burdens, health problems, stressful relationships, and other challenges, many of us feel weighed down by the cares of this world. We were never meant to shoulder these burdens alone. We have a powerful promise in 1 Peter 5:7, “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” Psalm 55:22 tells us to, “Cast your burden on the Lord, and…
The Father’s House
The Father’s House John 14:1-6 Our congregational theme this year is entitled, “Unshakable Promises.” In a world where so much is uncertain, God’s promises are certain. God’s promises are unshakable because they are rooted in the very character of God: He is unchanging, faithful, powerful, and incapable of lying. When God makes a promise, it’s guaranteed to be fulfilled. On this Father’s Day of 2026 I want to speak about one of God’s greatest promises – the promise of heaven.…
The Promise of Living Water
The Promise of Living Water John 7:37-39 Water is necessary for our existence; our human life depends upon water. If you have ever really been thirsty nothing matters except getting your thirst quenched. You don’t care about anything else when you’re dying of thirst. John chapter 7 is not the first time that Jesus speaks of water as a spiritual metaphor. In John chapter 4, Jesus meets a woman by a well in Samaria. She’s drawing water out of the…
The Promise of Everlasting Joy
The Promise of Everlasting Joy John 10:10-11 Isaish 35:10 says: “Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return. They will enter Jerusalem singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be filled with joy and gladness.” Can you imagine a place of unending, everlasting joy? If there’s a country on this earth where people could be filled with joy, it should be the United States of America. God experiences joy. Isaiah 62:5 says:…
God Gives You a Sound Mind – Guard It
“God Gives You a Sound Mind – Guard It” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 “God has not given us the Spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Last week I spoke about what God did not give us. God did not give us a Spirit of fear. This week I want to speak about what God has promised to give us and that is a Spirit of power, love and a sound…
God Will Deliver You From Fear
God Will Deliver You from Fear Psalm 34:4-7 Everybody has a certain amount of caution or healthy fear. It keeps us alive. But some fear can become irrational. Unhealthy fear can paralyze us. Today we consider the most famous battle in the Old Testament. It began as a battle between two armies. It becomes a battle between two individuals. The people of Israel are being taunted by a giant and they are fearful (1 Samuel 17:11;24). Fear is intimidating. –…
The Influence of a Mother
The Influence of a Mother2 Timothy 1:1-5 Happy Mother’s Day! We are glad to honor our mothers, not because it is a commercially promoted holiday, but because it is fundamental to our faith! “Honor your father and mother” is one of the Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 5:16), and that debt of honor and responsibility to our parents was defended by Jesus in Matthew 15 and reaffirmed by Paul in Ephesians 6:2. Mothers mold and shape their children’s character and future. The…
God’s Covenant of Love
God’s Covenant of LoveDeuteronomy 7:6-9 “But it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that He swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a…
The Lord Will Fight for You
The Lord Will Fight for YouExodus 14:13-14 Exodus 14, God delivers His people from slavery in Egypt. He leads them with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night and He leads them to the edge of the Red Sea. The Egyptian army is regretting what they have done and are trying to overtake the Israelites. And God leads them to basically a dead end. They have this massive body of water in front of them. Behind them…
God Is Always Faithful
God Is Always FaithfulPsalm 119:89-90 God is faithful not just to our generation but to all generations. Faithfulness is the glue that holds our relationships, our culture and our world together. Without the faithfulness of God, there would be no stability in the universe. God’s faithfulness stands at the very center of His creation. Colossians 1:17, “He (Jesus) is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” The faithfulness of God is the glue that holds this world…
