I Am with You (Genesis 28:10-22)
The heart of the biblical story is God's commitment to be with his people, and that is the blessing of the Christian life, the nearness and with-ness of God.
Make Every Effort: Part 2 (2 Peter 3:14-18)
When we are short-sighted and focus only on what's immediately in front of us we are tempted to not press on in our spiritual walk, but the safest thing for the believer is to keep moving forward with our focus on the eternal.
One Fact! One Day! (2 Peter 3:8-13)
In light of the fact that God is above time, we should have confidence in his redemptive plan now. God's future redeeming work should shape our lives today.
Remember the Word (2 Peter 3:1-7)
Often our faith doesn't need new information, rather we need to be reminded of the story to which we belong if we are in Christ. God's word helps us to stand firm, recognize false teaching, and trust in God's promises.
Dogs Returning to Vomit! (2 Peter 2:17-22)
To hear the word of grace, the word of God, tacitly believe in it, then to walk away chasing competing voices is no better than a dog who returns to their vomit. Our task is to listen to God's word understanding that Christ is the center of reality and the only voice that matters. All others are false.
Rebuked by a Donkey (2 Peter 2:11-16)
Rejecting the wisdom of God and his word makes us more foolish than a donkey. Our confidence comes only in obedience and trust in God; therefore, we need to fight to hear God's voice over all the competing voices.
Rescuer and Judge (2 Peter 2:1-10)
God is both a rescuer and judge, and it depends on what you believe about him and his truth that reveals which one he is for you.
Granted All Things (2 Peter 1:1-4)
We begin our 2 Peter series, "Confident in Chaos," with a sermon entitled "Granted All Things." We have everything we need to have confidence in this world.
The Living Christ and His Courageous Church (Revelation 1:17-18)
Christ is the the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End who holds the keys of death, and he is alive right now. This truth means that we, as Christians, can fully embrace his admonish to "fear not."
Giving (Philippians 4:10-23)
Giving is a pathway to freedom, but that pathway is only to freedom when Christ is held in His proper place in you life. When Christ is in the proper place in our lives our giving will produce fruit, joy, and blessing.
