May 26, 2020 Divine Discipline - Jonah 2
It’s amazing how things look different when we see things from a different perspective, isn’t it?

I recall an incident once where I was sitting in traffic behind someone turning left across traffic – they had to wait for an opening in oncoming traffic to make the turn. I happened to glance in my rearview mirror JUST in time to see a car slam into the back of my pickup truck. It hit me so hard my truck moved hit the car that was turning.

I recall the person in the car in front of me got out, slammed his door, and gave me a look like he wanted to kill me. He must have thought I was the worst driver he had ever seen!

THEN….he saw the car that had rear-ended me. It was totaled. Her bumper had slid under the rear bumper of my truck, and had barely damaged my truck, but it destroyed her car. If my truck had not been sitting there, it’s likely the damage would have been EXTENSIVE to the man’s car. As it was, all he had was small dent.

Perspective.

Once that man saw things differently…his attitude changed. He went from anger…to concern for the woman who rear-ended me. Thankfully, everyone was ok. The only damage was property damage, and everyone walked away unharmed.

May 10, 2020 Fellowship
I’m so glad we can meet again on Sunday morning. I’ve so missed seeing everyone.

Happy Mother’s Day (if not already said)

Throughout the last several weeks we’ve looked at the Biblical idea that we are better together — that when we submit to being a part of a local body of believers....it builds our faith.

I’ve wanted to wait to share this message for the first Sunday when we could PHYSICALLY meet in the same room.

There’s a word that we use to describe the relationship that believers in Christ have with other believers.

May 03, 2020 Why do we look to the Bible for our Guide?
On Sunday mornings, we are looking at what we DO on Sunday mornings.

WHY do we do what we do?

Have you ever stopped to think about it?

WHY do we do what we do? Why do we start with announcements, then singing, then an offering and end with a sermon?

In this time away, it’s not a bad idea to consider for a moment…WHY we do what we do…and maybe consider if we are simply going through the motions?

Or if it really MEANS something to us?

April 26, 2020 Why do we sing together in church?
Now that we’re HOPEFULLY winding down on our isolation time…and we will hopefully begin meeting again soon on Sunday morning, I wanted to do a series on WHY we meet, as Christians.

Why do we come together on Sunday mornings?

Why do we come together and sing sons, pray, etc?

April 19, 2020 Why Church?

This is week five of not physically meeting on Sunday morning.

Can you believe that? The past 4 Sundays — including Palm Sunday and Easter, we recorded a sermon and broadcast it via Facebook Live, and our website.

This is starting to get to be a habit.

Every week it’s becoming MORE and MORE apparent that I’m REALLY looking foreward to that day we can begin meeting again.

There’s just something about meeting in PERSON that we can’t get in any other format.

If you’re watching today, I HOPE you’re looking forward to that day that we will be able to begin meeting in person again.

I know that it’s GOING to come eventually—and I think that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We’re beginning to approach the time, I think.

But for now....we’re online only.

Nationwide, other churches are “doing church” in the same way.

Some may have thought it was cute, or funny at first....

April 12, 2020 What if Jesus Did Not Rise?
Today, as we celebrate Easter it’s maybe a bit different than it has been in the past.

In years past, we may have celebrated it surrounded by family and friends...

Maybe there was an Easter egg hunt.

Maybe a big dinner, followed by a nap on the couch afterward.

But chances are, it’s different fro you this year.

But historically, Easter is the holiest time of the year for the Christian church. This is the “big deal” to our religion. It’s what defines us as Christians. Yes---Christmas is exciting, but our faith hinges on what happened at Easter.

April 05, 2020 Jesus the King
I want to take you back to a time about 2000 years ago….Imagine the city of Jerusalem, in about 36 AD or so….there are all sorts of people in town for a special time.

Who is coming? Is it a great king on a white stallion? No….it’s a man…nothing special about him…..riding a young donkey. It’s Jesus.

Jesus is the King---coming to rescue sinners.

The king is coming:

March 29, 2020 A Mighty Fortress is Our God
In the 1500’s as the Bubonic plague was ravaging Europe, eventually killing almost 60 million people, wiping out about 2/3 of their population....it hit Germany in 1527.

People began to panic. They fled. Mass hysteria took over.

If one caught the black plague....it was a death sentence…death within about a week.

It is said that instead of fleeing in panic, the Reformer, Martin Luther opened his home to be used as a hospital.

He cared for and helped those that were affected by it.

He wrote a well-known hymn in light of it.

Perhaps you’re familiar with the song A Mighty Fortress is our God.

In our times of trouble, in our times of difficulty....what do we do?

When the world is falling down all around us, where do we turn?

Who do we turn TO?

Scripture exhorts us to turn to God. HE is in charge and HE is our safe refuge.

Let's turn to Psalm 91:

March 22, 2020 In Times of Trouble, God is in Control
There is a lot of uncertainty right now. Our church is currently not meeting physically right now. MOST churches are also suspending services. The anomaly is the church that IS meeting for Sunday services. In addition to that, people are being told to stay at home, not going out more than they have to. Restaurants are shutting down their dining rooms. Fast food restaurants are offering drive-through service only. When we go to the store, it’s almost impossible to find some necessities. If they are in stock, they’re of limited availability. So, what do we think in all of this?

What should our response be in times of trouble?

March 17, 2020 Lord of the Sabbath
The 10 Commandments. Many people think of them as God’s Big 10 list—the ones that really sum up the really important stuff that God wants us to do, right?

The 4th Commandment tells us to Keep the Sabbath Holy.

For thousands of years, there have arguments over what it means to “keep the Sabbath Holy”.

I read a news article a few days ago, dated from 2016. The article told of the conflict of people choosing to compete in sports on the Sabbath, or to obey the command to “Keep Holy the Sabbath”.

The article talked about how a major university in the United States took that to mean that they should not compete in sports on Sunday.

It’s not only this particular university. A city or town might pass laws restricting business, or other things on Sundays for the same reason.

While well-meaning, that REALLY what that Commandment means.

A few things to think about:

The Sabbath, as defined in the Mosaic Law, is actually Saturday. So a Jew would not work, or conduct business from Sundown Friday night until Sundown Saturday night.

Sunday is actually the FIRST day of the week — and has historically been known as “The Lord’s Day”, as this is the day Jesus rose from the dead.

While it was an Old Testament Mosaic Law command for them to not work on the Sabbath....but we are not bound to that today.

Let's look at today's text.
