Christ Church of Mt Airy Sermons

Psalm 136’s unique repetitive structure gives insight to the breadth and depth of the unchanging God of the universe and our need to be constantly reminded of it at all times.

Abraham's example, in Genesis 17, of humbly waiting for the Lord encourages us to draw near because God is YOUR God Almighty He is worth waiting for, walking with and worshiping!

God’s in-depth awareness and intimate care for Hagar, the outcast, afflicted servant of Abram and Sarai reminds us that no situation and no person is out of His sight or beyond his reach.

God is going to do everything He needs to in order for Abram to know God the way He wants to be known (as Abram's Shield and Reward) and so that Abram will give God an “amen."

To begin a new year and considering what God is going to do, and what he has for us to do, we examine what training Paul tells Timothy is of value in every way and how it is meant to impact our lives.

John’s Gospel opens by giving us a perspective of the glory of Jesus, the Word, from the beginning of time thru his incarnation on earth. As we near Christmas we consider how Jesus’s coming to earth, his rejection by those he created and his adoption of those who did receive him as children of God display God’s grace and bring him Glory.

Following Abrams victory against the kings and rescue of Lot, he is greeted and blessed by a mysterious king who surprisingly is also a priest. Although we are told little about this figure in Genesis, study in Psalms and Hebrews reveals his priestly order leads to Jesus who is also a King and Priest, but unlike all that came before him, fulfilled the law and rules forever.

In Genesis 14, God is victorious in establishing His glory in both Abram's external and internal battles. God brought about a successful outcome in Abram's fight with the King of Sodom. Afterwards God demonstrated, through Abram's value of God's glory over riches, that He had secured Abram's inward allegiance to Himself, God Most High.

In Genesis 13, Abram models how to call upon the Lord with the same intensity when things are going well as when in need. God responds commanding Abram to lift his eyes to see God's extravagant promises for the future.
