As we continue in Ephesians 2, we’re reminded of how God loves us even when we are of no value at all.
Pastor Tim talks about the job of officers in the church — what are the “offices’ and what do they do?
We return to Ephesians in a new series in the second chapter and to start us off Pastor Tim reflects on our state without God.
Pastor Tim previews our new Monday night series — Dead then Alive — and reflects on how God rescues us from being dead.
A folding map only works if you already know where you are. Enough wrong turns, and you’re stuck staring at it with no idea how to find yourself—let alone get back on course. Psalm 89 asks what God’s promises do for those of us who aren’t the Hannahs and Davids, who look at the map and go the wrong way.
As we wrap up our series in John 5, we are confronted with the most important question: do we believe His words?
God works through ordinary people facing extraordinary pain. Hannah, a barren woman in a hostile household, pours out her anguish before the Lord rather than seeking revenge or retreating and He answers. He still does.
Are we trying to light up our lives with our own glory or God’s? Pastor Tim takes us back to John 5, looking at verses 41-44 in tonight’s Steadfast.
When we’re desperate for direction, we tend to reach for whatever voice sounds most confident, be it horoscopes, politicians or just about anyone who seems to know something we don’t. Deuteronomy 18 speaks to our searching, reminding us God has never left His people without a trustworthy voice to follow, and what He promised there points somewhere specific.
We are right to realize we can’t do it all and that we need God’s Word to guide us. But if in our pursuit of doing things right before God, we miss Him, what have we accomplished?
