Matthew 22:34-40

Jesus was asked which is the greatest commandment in the Law. Jesus answered this question with—Love the Lord your God. But He followed it up with a second commandment like it—Love your neighbor as yourself. Like you can’t have a one sided coin, you can’t separate love God from love neighbor. The Bible expert needed to hear this so that he could truly understand what God wants from him. In sermon #2 in this three part series aimed at encouraging the children of our church we learned this main idea—I can love my neighbor as myself.

Matthew 22:34-40

As a child, we may think that it’s only those older than us who can love God and make their life count for Him. Not true! When Jesus says, “You shall love the Lord your God” he is talking to all, even children, from toddler to teenager and everyone in-between. This sermon helps us to know how to Love God with all we have by listening to Jesus who says—love God with all your heart, soul, and mind.

Psalm 146:1-10

What does it mean to have the good life? The Bible is very clear that those who have the good life are the who have embraced the good news that life with God is available to all who put their faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Many want the good life, but many attempt the good life apart from Jesus. We look for help and search in hope that something, anything will deliver what only the King of Kings can provide. This is true in times of political angst when ‘princes’ come along calling us to trust in them for the good life. The psalmist knows better. The help and hope we need can only be found in the LORD who reigns forever. King Jesus is the prince who can be trusted for all time. He is the king we need. Main Idea—In times of political angst, my ultimate hope is in the LORD who reigns forever.

Genesis 12:1-7

Titus 3:1-7

Genesis 2 & 2 Corinthians 4

The world is asking questions, “What is a woman? What does it mean to live as a woman?” Praise God that He has given us answers in His word! All that we need for life and godliness is found in the Bible, and this includes how to live out our gender. This means created in the image of God as female, a woman’s femininity can glorify her Creator as she expresses her gender in line with who she is as a woman. Main Idea—It’s good to be a woman and femininity is expressed in helping, subduing, and nurturing.

Genesis 2:15, 3:1-9, 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Psalm 139:13-16

Genesis 3:1-7

Genesis 1 & 2

We start the sermon series by looking to the North Star of God’s Word. To navigate our way through the conversation on gender and sexuality we need an unmovable guide. The first two chapters of the Bible are that guide. God creates. He creates mankind with bodies. And He creates those bodies as male and female. These grounding truths are for our good and God’s glory. Main Idea—God’s good gift of gender is revealed in His design of male and female.
