Psalm 76 is a divine victory song, declaring God's magnificent triumph over His enemies. Through it, we learn that God is sovereign over His people, His enemies and the nations. Because God reigns, He is present with His people, works even the evil of the world for His purpose, and brings the gospel to the nations, drawing sinners to Himself. The God who was present with His people in Judah is the...

As Paul and Barnabas set off on their separate missionary journeys, we learn that Jesus' mission and plan for the Church does not fail, even in division. This mission can happen with or without us, but we are brought into it by grace. Thank you for listening to this week’s sermon from Clear Water Presbyterian Church.

The book of Philemon shows the gospel with skin on. Through the story of Philemon, Onesimus, and Paul, we see how Christ reconciles sinners to God and to one another, creating a true spiritual family marked by forgiveness, love, and effective fellowship. Jesus transforms lost causes and calls His people to live out the grace they have received. Thank you for listening to this week’s sermon from Cl...

Psalm 74 gives us the words to pray when we don't have them; when our circumstances are just too dire. This liturgy for the unthinkable instructs us to protest with questions, look backwards to creation and the Cross, and pray to God to remember His covenant. Our God is the King from of Old, never forgetting His covenant people, so when life is in awful ruins, we must learn to pray from within our...

This first prayer of a worship leader in Psalms Book III presents two problems: envying the arrogant and the prosperity of the wicked. This is contrasted with the promise that God gives good to those who are pure in heart, who are undivided in their devotion to God. Envy is a heart problem and leads to a transactional form of religion. Psalm 73 provides a solution to the two problems it presented...

There is good news, even in a book with a theme of darkness. God meets us in our devastation by His nearness in His Anointed. Your suffering is not meant to crush you, but bring you into closer communion with Him. Book III of the Psalms teaches us how to do this through psalms of lament. Thank you for listening to this week’s sermon from Clear Water Presbyterian Church. More information can be fou...

The transfiguration is a gracious pledge that glorious things are in store for the people of God. God ministered to Jesus through the transfiguration, the disciples were given hope of future glory in the face of their suffering, and it gives believers a glimpse of what is to come, reminding us that our labor is not in vain. Thank you for listening to this week’s sermon from Clear Water Presbyteria...

The mature Christian finds comfort in God and faces adversity with courage.

Because God's electing choice in Christ is older than our merit, we must cling to Christ as our only hope. God chooses who is saved, but your choices still matter.

The conclusion of Abraham's story in death proves God's promises continue beyond the grave. - God kept His Word to Abraham: he died well (see Genesis 15:15) - God kept His Word to the nations: they receive their blessing (see Genesis 17:4-5, 20) - God kept His Word to Isaac: God's promises outlast Abraham (see Genesis 17:19) Thank you for listening to this week’s sermon from Clear Water Presbyteri...

In Genesis 24, God is the protagonist of Isaac and Rebekah's love story as He is the One who drives it forward. He orchestrates everything behind the scenes, yet all the characters know and trust that He is working and praise Him for it. God works behind the scenes for the sake of genuine love. This is seen clearly as Rebekah acts in faith by going with Abraham's servant, trusting that God has a p...

Abraham lays to rest his bride and in so doing receives the first piece of genuine property in the promised land. God's eternity-sized promises need eternity for them to be fulfilled. For those who wait for the promises, we must shift where we see "home," and be eager to follow in the footsteps of those who have faithfully sojourned this earth before us.

Learning that the God who tests you is the same one who provides for you calls you to exhibit a costly faith - a true faith that accepts any cost to have and obey the Lord.

The Lord demonstrates severe mercy to the righteous through ensuring severe justice on the wicked, so you must eagerly receive his severe mercy and escape the wrath to come.

The Bible not only communicates through the stories it tells but through how the stories are told. Abraham's question is our question - "Will the Judge of the Earth do what is just?" Come hear how the Lord is drawing Abraham near, making him like Himself, so that he and his descendants will bless the world.

Is there anything too difficult or too wonderful for the Lord? God comes near to be known by his people and continues his promises despite their failings in doubt.

When it feels too late to receive good in this life, God is yet right on time with his grace. His grace to his people looks like covenantal expansion, inclusion, and marking them as belonging to him. For this reason, it is never too late to walk with him in faith.

The story of Genesis 16 is one for those who wish to be invisible to others for fear of hurt (both in and outside of the church) and for those who feel chronically insignificant in this world.
