Main Point: It is good to be a slave of Christ, set apart for the gospel of God, and called to belong to Him. Power in the Text: Doulos (slave): Paul identifies himself first as a slave of Christ, signifying his complete submission to Jesus (v. 1). Set Apart: Believers are called to be distinct from the world and dedicated fully to God (v. 1). The Gospel: The good news of Jesus Christ is not a new...

In the waiting, Jesus is better!

Main Text: Romans 8:18-25 (Focus on Verse 25) I. Introduction: The Universal Struggle of Waiting Main Point: In a world obsessed with speed, waiting feels inefficient. Yet, in God’s plan, waiting serves as a tool for spiritual growth and Christlikeness. Key Scripture: Romans 8:25 calls us to "wait patiently for what we do not yet have," trusting God’s timing and goodness. II. The Desire and Defini...

Praying like Paul together leads us to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ to have the eyes of their hearts opened: (1) To know God more deeply, richly, and intimately (v. 17) (2) To know the unwavering, eternal hope they have in Christ (v. 18a) (3) To know the richness of being His inheritance & Him being theirs (v. 18b) (4) To know the immeasurable greatness of His power in & amo...

Prayer is an intentional conversation with God where we express our dependence on Him and ask Him to do what He’s promised. It is expressed verbally or silently, personally or corporately, planned or spontaneously. From the beginning, God created humanity to experience the joy of a deep, personal relationship with Him. However, the sin of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3 disrupted the perfect divine-huma...

Amos teaches us how people relate to truth and truth-tellers.

To what lengths will you go to maintain your comfort and security? What comforts or securities are you placing your faith in to sustain you over Jesus? God's issue with Israel in Amos 6 is their spiritual complacency, social injustice, and reliance on material wealth. The Israelites' pride leads them to believe that they are superior to others and that they do not need God... and their envy leads...

Christians care about all suffering, especially eternal suffering. Christians care about all injustice, especially injustice against God.

Seek God and live!

Are you prepared to meet your God?

YHWH is a good, good Father who loves His family, reminds His family of how things will go well with them through the prophets, and disciplines His children for their good and His glory.

God is serious about His image and likeness in mankind and He is also serious about the sanctity of human life.

Main Idea: The book of Amos starts with a quick introduction to the prophet himself. It tells us that Amos was a simple shepherd/farmer from a small town named Tekoa, 10 miles south of Jerusalem. This wasn't some fancy city boy; he was a southern farm boy who understood the struggles of everyday life. God chose to speak through this ordinary guy to deliver a powerful message to the wealthy eli...

Who is God? He is our dwelling place, eternal, holy, loving, and sovereign. What has He done? He has created and sustained from everlasting to everlasting, judged sin in His holiness, provided wisdom, returned, satisfied with His steadfast love and provided eternal joy and gladness, worked good among evil, revealed His glory from generation to generation, and bestowed grace and established His peo...

5 Questions: Who was this psalm directed at? All we know is that the person David is imprecating was once a dear friend and confidant. Was David in sin for praying this? David understood God's covenant with Abraham, promises that included defeating evil and bringing forth the Messiah. He saw his enemies as adversaries to God’s divine plan. His prayers, then, weren't just about personal vin...

Main Idea: We will persevere to the end by continually resting in our position as sons and daughters of God, embracing His presence, and proclaiming the good news of Jesus to ourselves and others.
