Sermon Text: 2 Corinthians 5:14-6:2 What is our position toward the world? Are we for or against? Actually, it's some of both! We have been set apart from the world in terms of its sin, yet we are also sent into the world with the good news of salvation in Jesus. Paul describes those who carry this gospel as being "ambassadors for Christ." In a world at war with God, we are to extend his offer of...

Promise Kept and A God Who Protects Sermon Text: Genesis 21:1-21 Human relationships are messy. Yet through that, we have a God who keeps, and protects His promises. That is true of His covenant people and even those who seem to be on the outside.

Yet, amazingly, we see a God who listens to the prayers of the righteous.

Sermon Text: Genesis 17 God promised Abram 2 main things: land and descendants. To receive those, Abram, by faith, had to show that he trusted God with both of those.

In this passage, we will see God give 3 spe...

Sermon Text: Genesis 16:1-16 After an incredible experience with God, Abram has a massive lapse of faith. This mistake causes jealously and strife, and we see the consequences of sin and how our sin affects us and those around us.

Sermon Text: Genesis 15:7-21 In an amazing scene, God ratifies His covenant with Abram, making Him solely responsible for, and guaranteeing, everything that He promised will come true.
