Renew Covenant Church Sermons

"Unexpectedly" We await the first coming of Jesus with his words on his 2nd coming. He will come (He comes) unexpectedly. As his people, we are called to active waiting. To live lives prepared and alert for the Kingdom of God to come in our midst in power. Practical app: Prayer is a powerful way of waiting actively in hope.

Genesis 17:1-16 "Named and Claimed." God changes Abe and Sarai's names along with reiterating Covenant. God knows who we really are and gives us names and calls us to live into them. We find life and promise in knowing our true names and orienting our lives according to that which we are called, in faith. We cast off our old identities and live into the Covenant, a dependent discipleship relations...

Genesis 16:7-16. Hagar is the servant of Abram mistreated by Sarai and forced to run away from harsh treatment. Though God's plan involves an heir for Abram through Sarai, God pursues Hagar going to where she was and blessing her. Hagar names God "El Roi" because He sees. God sees you in your deepest times of rejection and outcastness. God sees the rejected and outcast around us. He is "El Roi" th...

In our journey we worry and have anxiety: "how is this going to work out for good?" God's says to us "Do not Fear."

God calls Abram to pack everything up and Go. Go to a strange land. Go from all that is familiar. To be sent, to move outward here is the counter-motion to what we had at Babel. God scattered as a preventative measure, God’s covenant with Abraham is the amelioration--a plan for blessing all nations through one nation. We will take a deeper look at moving past what is safe, what we know, what is co...

The story line has been a cycling of two theological realities. Humanity's rebellion and insistence on grabbing for life on its own followed by growing consequences and then God's amazing grace to bring people back into relationship with Him and flourishing. Babel is another example of people grabbing life by hunkering down rather than scattering. God responds by mixing languages and scattering pe...

The flood waters subside. God blesses Noah to be fruitful and multiply and then establishes a covenant with Noah. God makes a way for new life to spring up. Once again his desire is to connect with humans to establish good relationship with them, How are we to look at this story as insight into our own salvation story? Of insight into sin, judgment, forgiveness and New Life in Christ.

What can we glean from a family line? Reading into the genealogy in Genesis 4:17-5. What has God been naming you?

And God is saying, “sin is at your door, Cain. This is the crucial moment. I’m here and I want to deal with you. Before you go and do something crazy, and act upon that anger, act upon what’s festering inside you—come on, have a reality check. You can ask me, ‘what’s going on?’ Talk to me. If you open that door, man, something evil is outside that door and it’s going to overwhelm you. Don’t open t...
