Sermons from April 2018
The Greatest Commands
In our culture, the word, “love” is used a lot, seemingly by people who don’t know what it truly means. Love is not a feeling. It’s not something that you fall into. True love, “Agape love” is a choice to consider the needs of someone else as more important than your own. God is the one who shows us what true love is. Romans 5:8 says this: “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Called to Salvation by Grace through Faith
Bridges span vast distances that, without them, we would have no hope of crossing. This week Richard, in this lesson, speaks to the similar nature of God’s grace and how, with His grace and our faith, we can span the vast chasm of death and sin in order to cross over to salvation.
Even as the Lord Loves
So far this year, many of the sermons have been centered around the idea that we’ve been called. Today we’re going to focus in on a figure from the Old Testament who was also called by God. However, this man was not called into a glamorous, or joyful position. Instead, he was called into a life of pain, betrayal, and depression. Did he answer the call? Can we answer the call when He calls us into uncomfortable situations? These questions and more will be discussed in the sermon entitled: “Even as the Lord Loves”.
The Divine Prescription for Healing
It can be frustrating when a doctor gives a misdiagnosis, or even when he or she just can’t figure out what’s wrong with you. On the other hand, it can be a huge relief when they get it right and can treat whatever is bothering us and impacting our health. Fortunately, in God, we have a doctor that never fails and has the ultimate spiritual health treatment.
Life
Life is everywhere and all around us. We are alive. Jesus is alive. In this episode, Richard speaks of his love of life and his hatred of death. He also speaks about how God is Life and death is the wages of sin. What does it mean to be alive in Christ and living in the Kingdom? Find out!
