Jesus gave the “Great Commission” to his disciples at the very end of Matthew’s gospel. Pastor David suggests that this is very much like the covenant language that God used in the Old Testament, such as in today’s sermon text, Isaiah 56:1-8.

Justice in Christ
“It’s a real problem, and somebody better do something about it. But who? Oh, it’ll take care of itself.” Do we ever say that in our lives? And what does this have to do with the courtroom drama that plays out in Micah 6:1-8? Listen in to this week’s sermon:
One Down, Sixty-Five To Go
If you are participating in our “Daily Bread” (Chronological Bible) group, then hopefully you are off to a good reading start this year! We are now finished reading Genesis, the first of the 66 books of the Bible, which contains some of the oldest stories in the scriptures. Next up is another very ancient story, the story of Job.
But let’s pause for a moment to consider what we’ve seen so far.
How Do We Rob You?
The second message in our series on tithing and stewardship is based on Malachi 3:6-12, a passage in which God accuses his people of robbing him and urges them to return to him. What does this have to do with giving to the church? Listen in to Pastor David’s sermon:
You Want Me To Do What?
When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, the stakes were incredibly high. What does this have to do with our church’s offering plate? Listen in to Pastor David’s message based on Genesis 22:1-19.
Fruit of the Spirit: Patience
What does patience look like? How does God want us to show patience to each other and to our communities? And what does this have to do with the strange story of Hosea and Gomer, found in Hosea chapters 1 and 3? Listen in to Pastor David’s sermon on these two chapters.
We Never Walk Alone
Do you ever feel like God is distant or unaware of your situation? What does scripture have to say about our walk through life with the Lord? Read John 14:15-21, and then listen in to Pastor David’s sermon on this passage.
