In this week's text, we see Abraham, father of the Hebrew nation, a man who's faithfulness is counted as righteousness, promised and tested. And while he is faithful we also see many times he is faithless but that God is always faithful. This narrative is in fact about God's faithfulness to Abraham and Abraham's faithfulness to repent to God.

This week's text is probably one of the most well known Bible "stories" and the danger comes when we look at it as that and not as a part of the story of redemption. The focus of this narrative is not that God judges but the fact that God saves.

Cain's approach to worshipping God is in complete contrast to that of his brother Abel and instead of receiving God's rebuke as grace he murders his brother in cold blood. Through this story of the first murder we see many things as they pertain to worship, rebuke and repentance, sin and consequences, mercy and grace, and ultimately Jesus.

For our new series, we start at the beginning of it all, creation. Pastor Noah walks us through 7 acts of creation and the fall pointing us to the truth of the Gospel in each of them. (We apologize for the background music on this recording, some wires were crossed.)

Because of Jesus we can be confident worshippers, siblings, and missionaries. This confidence displays our belief in the supremacy of Jesus in our lives and helps us heed John's final command: keep yourselves from idols.

Over the course of his epistles, John has given us three tests to determine the kingship of Jesus in our lives; theological, moral, and social. In this week's text he gives one final test: is Jesus king?

This week John expounds on how we love one another as Christians.

One of the main themes of the Apostle John is Christian's love for one another. This week we can see seven reasons why.

In this week's sermon, the Apostle John shows us how there are two agendas battling for our attention and submission. The Holy Spirit seeks to capture our attention with the truth of the Gospel while Satan tries to distract us with the ways of the world.

Our text this week expounds on the social test of being a follower of Jesus Christ, do I love like I believe Jesus is Lord?
