Generations Church Sermons

AVOIDING THE TRAP Culture wants to suck us into their battles and their solutions. God has entirely different ways of solving human problems.

A NEW KING FOR GOD’S PEOPLE God removes Saul, a failed king, and provides hope through David. Through this God points forward to a new King in Jesus who provides hope for the world.

WAITING ON GOD Hard circumstances often test our patience. Do we wait for God to lead us, or do we take matters into our own hands?

A PROPHET’S HEART Samuel pours his heart out to God’s people at the end of his life, hoping they will honor God in the years to come.

GIVE US A KING! Israel demands a king like the other nations, rather than being led by God. What can we learn from Israel about our own hearts?

GOD RETURNS TO HIS PEOPLE After a long silence God returns to His people who are living in disobedience. We have to ask ourselves if we are not guilty of the same thing today.

GOD’S PATIENCE HAS A TIME LIMIT God reveals how our world sinful and corrupt, and our complicity in it so that we can change. God is patient, but at some point that patience comes to an end.

THE RISE AND FALL GOD’S PEOPLE The Bible takes us through the successes and failures of Israel, not as a Jewish history lesson, but for insight into our own tendencies as God’s people.

Matthew 2:1-12 Listen to the Christmas story with Pastor Amaury as he shares about the birth of Jesus and the arrival of the wise men.

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Jesus is not just an infant in a manger, He is the Son of God in human flesh. He came 2000 years ago to bring light into a dark and broken world.

Advent Peace Jesus is divine peace. He entered into human flesh (became a man) to provide a way that sinful humanity could live in peace with the holy God who created us.

ADVENT JOY Joy is the deeper and more powerful version of happiness. Joy rooted and grounded in Christ is unshakeable joy. It is what we long for in hard times.

ADVENT: LOVE We can feel dark and alone when things are not going “our way”, however God’s love shines the brightest when we see His plans accomplished in us.

Advent 2020: Hope Is What We Crave

SALVATION: GOD’S LOVE FOR THE UNDESERVING God, in spite of our sin, saves us. He forgives idolatry, overlooks failure, untangles our messes, and ultimately provides salvation… if we will just listen to Him and do what He says. Episode Notes

GRACE: FORGIVENESS WE DON’T DESERVE God gives “unmerited favor” (grace) to us when we repent and seek Him. We never deserve it, but God gives it graciously through Christ. Episode Notes

MERCY: SPARED THE JUDGEMENT WE DESERVE Just like the Israelites at the bottom of Mt. Sinai we all sin and deserve wrath. God spares us by pouring that wrath out on Jesus instead. Moses provides insight into how Jesus takes our penalty and gives us mercy.

SABBATH: FINDING REST IN A SINFUL WORLD God provides rest for His People who obey His commands. We often attempt to find rest in many places that have nothing to do with God.

MEDIATOR: BRIDGE BETWEEN GOD AND MAN Moses’s brother Aaron will be ordained as a priest in today’s passage, with the clear function of going between God and Man. This is an amazing glimpse ahead at the roll of Jesus our perfect Mediator.

INCARNATION: UNITING GOD AND HUMANITY The division between God and Man that resulted from sin is overcome in Jesus. God and humanity are united physically in Christ’s body, as well as spiritually at the cross.

LAWS: HOW WE LOVE OTHERS To fully understand the 10 Commandments and laws that clarify them we must look through the lens of love. Christians are called to love God and love others. Laws teach us how to faithfully love both God and others.

COMMANDMENTS: HOW GOD’S PEOPLE LIVE God prescribes how how we are to live by covenanting with Moses (who represents the people). We can be a holy nation, and a kingdom of priests, if we live as God has taught us to live.

PROVISION: GOD PROVIDES FOR HIS PEOPLE Learning to depend upon God to provide for us, rather than depending upon ourselves, our government, or our circumstances, leads us to greater faith.

PROVIDENCE: GOD’S WILL FOR OUR GOOD God does amazing things for His people, though His will is often hidden to us, God’s will is always for His glory and our good.

RESTORATION God provides rest and healing in times of hardship through submission and obedience to Him. We tend to only want to go as far as we are comfortable, but God is calling us further for our own benefit. For more information, please visit https://genfamily.church.
