Faith to Trust God Even When Things Seem Hopeless

We are living in a season of worry and isolation. A time of uncertainty, insecurity, confusion. This is a Faith Test for all of us…
In a number of Jesus’ miracles––Jesus used the situation as a faith test. For example, when He asked Phillip, where will we be able to buy bread for all these people? Philip began doing mental calculations and said even a half a years worth of wages could only give everyone a single bite! But Jesus asked him this to test him, because Jesus already knew what He would do.
Here Jesus asks Peter to launch into the deep and let down the nets, knowing they had worked all night and caught nothing!
True FAITH is Trusting in the Power of God’s Word––Even When things Seem Hopeless!

Christ Cleanses Ten Lepers (Luke 17:11-19)

Jesus healed ten lepers but only one came back to thank Him and praise God for the miraculous healing. Jesus asked, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?”

“Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and not be poorer but richer for having made it.”

Sermon for August 9, 2020 – AUDIO | TEXT PDF

There are two competing belief systems––from the world and from God. In the world’s belief system, your self worth is determined by your performance and what others think about you. However, with God, your self worth is not based on your success or failure or what others think about you––it is based on the truth of God’s love and purpose. This is why so many people who live for other’s acceptance, die by their rejection.
We are introduced to a man born blind in John chapter 9. And before it’s all over, he will be rejected by his parents, mocked and scorned by the powerful Pharisees, and yet he defends Jesus Christ against their attacks! In other words: In the End He Doesn’t Need the Acceptance of his Parents or Approval of the Pharisees, Because Jesus Had Opened His Eyes.

Sermon for Sunday, July 26, 2020 – AUDIO | TEXT PDF

The World Needs the Truth Now More Than Ever. And you are the Church––the children of God––Shining as Lights in the World. Especially now during the distress of a pandemic and social chaos.

We Are the Children of God––but we are not exempt from the storms of life.

But when the storms of life hit us––and we turn to God for help…
We come through the storm with a new appreciation for life,
A greater appreciation for God who hears our prayers,
and deeper appreciation for Christ who offers peace in the midst of the storms.

Christ is the Calm in the Center of the Storm because He Saves

‘When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.’
