There is a great need for all of us. We all need a relationship that is perfect, pure, and right. You may ask why? Because life challenges all of us daily. Because we need a relationship that can mend our souls when we are disheartened. Because we need a relationship that will speak truth rather than judgment. Because we need a relationship in our life that will shine light on truth rather than someone else’s agenda. Because we need a relationship that is eternal rather than a relationship that is temporary only for a season in our life. Because we need answers to all these things. And only God’s word provides the answers to that relationship. We need God through His Word, the Bible. 

In this message we hear that the psalmist declares the accuracy and effectiveness of God’s word. When we spend time with God in His word each day, our reward is Him. Let’s hear how we can know two main values from this text. The passage from this message is from Psalm 19:7-11.

• God’s Word is Matchless Vv. 7-9
• God’s Word is our reward, Him Vv. 10-11

Are you seeking God’s purpose for your life? Jesus told his disciples if they abided in him they could glorify the Father and prove to be his disciples. God wants you to do something with your faith and He challenges us as believers to build His Kingdom. Therefore we can know what God’s purpose is for out life.

In this message we how God has given us three imperatives for those seeking to God’s purpose for their life. They are:

If your seeking God’s purpose for your life it’s imperative you base it on the truth Vv. 1-3

If your seeking God’s purpose for your life it’s imperative you abide in Jesus Vv. 4-6

When you seek God’s purpose for your life by remaining in Christ you will glorify the Father and that’s His imperative Vv. 7-8

For many of us the frustrations of life can discourage us from prayer. Maybe that’s because we hope for an outcome rather than placing our hope in the one who holds our outcome. In this message we hear how we know God better in prayer because hope in prayer is hope in Christ.

Text: Ephesians 1:15-23

• Hope in prayer begins with knowledge from God’s Spirit V. 17

• Hope in prayer is the hope of our call Vv. 18-19a

• Hope in prayer is supplied by the power of Christ Vv. 19b-20

• Hope in prayer is affirmed through the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ Vv. 21-23

Now that we have begun a new year 2022 faces us will types of unknowns. None of of can be certain what will happen in our lives, yet their is one who is certain who holds our life, God. In this sermon we hear how Jesus tells us we stop finding worry when seek God. When we seek God for our lives first we grasp who truly holds our life for all eternity. Today we hear three guarantees in this message from Jesus in the passage of Matthew 6:25-34.

• We are guaranteed to find worry when see ourselves as providers first Vv. 25-30
• We are guaranteed to find our provision when we trust God as our heavenly Father first Vv. 31-32
• We are guaranteed to find everything we need when we seek God first Vv. 33-34

In this message we hear how the problem of lust manifests into a danger in the lives of everyone which brings death. However the grace of God through his Son, Jesus Christ offers redemption to everyone and the power to overcome lust and sin. In the gospel of Matthew 5:27-30 Jesus gives us two imperatives to avoid lust.

• Lust on the inside is just as dangerous as lust on the outside Vv. 27-28
• Lust not taken seriously leads to death Vv. 29-30

The apostle Paul told the Philippians heaven waited for them, but they needed to stand firm in Christ. We need too need to declare our citizenship in heaven by standing firm in Christ rather than something else. In this message we hear how Christians can often get distracted or led away from the cross. Today’s message is from Philippians 3:17-21; 4:1. Let’s hear how we are to heed 3 admonitions from this passage:

• Respond to imitators of the cross V. 17
• Reject opponents of the cross Vv. 18-19
• Remain firm in declaring citizenship in the cross Vv. 20-21; 4:1

Jesus told his disciples murder starts with an angry heart which can lead to death. We need to stop worrying about our ego and start loving others who are made in the image of God. In this message we hear how Jesus gives the fulfillment of the command not to murder from Matthew 5:21-26.  Hear how Jesus desires for all of us to be avoid anger and seek him with our hearts and not simply the letter of the law.

• Avoid the danger of misunderstanding anger Vv. 21-22
• Avoid the danger of practicing anger against your brother Vv. 23-24
• Avoid the danger of anger which leads to death Vv. 25-26

While people today are protesting for justice everyone desires justice in their life. The psalmist declared hope in the Lord alone who would bring justice to those who trust and seek Him. When you seek and trust the Lord He will provide you with justice. In this message we see that God’s justice does not come from an earthly judge, but the divine judge. In this message we see four characteristics from God’s justice in Psalm 9:7-10.

• God’s justice is eternal V.7
• God’s justice is righteous V. 8
• God’s justice is a refuge V. 9
• God’s justice is faithful V. 10
