James 2:1-13

Jesus is more famous for His teachings on love than Christians are for showing it. This message takes a practical look at Jesus’ command to love our enemies and considers the difficulties and blessings in applying it and the help that God gives as we do.
Luke 6:27-36
Everyone has a picture in their mind of what it means to be blessed by God.

When people talk about the resurrection, some just speak of it as a metaphor for a new start or the hope that is born from the ashes. Jesus didn’t really rise from the grave, did He?

This message looks at what hope Easter really promises and the resurrection that is available to all who trust in Jesus.

Exodus 4:18-31
Moses has been called by God and commissioned to deliver God’s people, but he immediately thinks of all the reasons why he’s not up for the task. The way that God reassures him shows how He might be seeking to work in our own lives when we find ourselves resisting a step God is calling us to make.
Exodus 4:1-17
Moses was a child of promise, saved miraculously, raised in spectacular privilege, but none of that was enough. He spent 40 years living out what felt like Plan B before he met God and was transformed by the encounter. What God reveals about Himself in the burning bush is what we all need to come to terms with.
Exodus 3:1-15
Events in Moses’ early adult life show that he has the makings of a great leader, but that isn’t enough. He’s been raised in privilege, and he has a passion for justice, but pride and self-sufficiency must be rooted out of him before he can be used by God.
God saves us, equips us, and sends us. Are we ready to answer the call? The Hebrew Scriptures are full of God’s promises to send us the Messiah. Today, as we look at the feasts of the Lord in Leviticus 23, could they help us see a foreshadow of the great commission? Could they help us see we are saved for a purpose?
