God gives grace to those whose hearts are bent toward Him. His words, signs, wonders, purpose and plan transform our hearts through the power of His Spirit in us. Everything unfolds just as He wills, showing the world that He is God.
When we want things too much, they can replace God in our priorities. Not being content with what God has given us is like living as if He doesn’t exist. We guard against covetousness and idolatry when we give back to God and give to others.
God chooses flawed Moses to represent His people. God works through Moses and Aaron's imperfect priestly lineage to accomplish His perfect plan. He displays His power, keeps His promises, and leads His people to freedom.
Jesus has made reconciliation with God possible for believers. Baptism, a symbol of our union with Christ, is for those drawn by God to faith and repentance, calling on Jesus' name. The Lord's Supper commemorates and proclaims Jesus' death.
We hear seven glorious promises from the LORD directing us where to go in times when things go from bad to worse. They soothe our souls and speak to what our hearts crave. Jesus tells us to bring our burdens to Him and He will deliver and bless us in our trials.
Psalm 51 shows us how to process our emotions and bring our burden of guilt to God. By acknowledging and confessing our wrongdoing, we are brought to repentance and restoration. Only God can transform our sinful hearts and make us righteous through the cross of Jesus.
God does great things for His people, and over the last ten years, specifically for this church, we celebrate the blessings we have received through God’s grace. We are unified by Him to glorify Him and His endless love and perfection in the cross of Jesus.
Knowing God is key to believing in Him when life goes from bad to worse. Seeking the truth about God will guard you from believing the lies of the enemy. Bring your “why?” questions to God, and He will help you.
Like Moses, we cling to a God unlike any we can image, made possible through a covenant of His grace. God's priority for you is does not conform to our idea of ease, rather it is for your knowledge of God's sovereignty over all and His fathomless concern for you.
God made you, knows you and perfects His strength through your weaknesses. He calls you to be His ambassador and through the power of Christ, the ability to accomplish whatever He leads you to do. Believe Him.
