When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, it was more than a test of obedience—it was a revelation of God's perfect provision. In this powerful message from Genesis 22, Pastor Sam Kraemer walks us through Abraham's ultimate moment of faith and how it points us forward to the cross of Jesus Christ. We'll see that: 1️⃣ God gives His people tests—not to make them fail, but to strengthen their faith. 2️⃣ God always provides—often in ways that display His mercy and point to our greater Substitute, Jesus. Join us as we reflect on how Abraham's mountain of testing became a mountain of grace, and how "on the mount of the Lord, it shall be provided." 📖 Scripture: Genesis 22:1–19 🙌 Main Idea: God tests our faith to reveal His faithfulness and to lead us to the ultimate provision—His Son, Jesus Christ. 📍 Harvest Liberty Lake Church – Sundays 10 AM at Selkirk Middle School 🌐 harvestlibertylake.com

In Genesis 21, we come to the long-awaited fulfillment of God's promise: the birth of Isaac. Abraham and Sarah waited 25 years, enduring moments of doubt, failure, and even laughter at the impossibility of God's word. Yet, at the exact time God appointed, He gave them a son. In this sermon, Pastor Sam unpacks: The miracle of Isaac's birth — why it was only possible by the hand of God. The testing of faith — how seasons of waiting grow and strengthen our trust in God. The transformation of Sarah's laughter — from disbelief to joy, and how this mirrors our own faith in Christ. Just as God fulfilled His promise to Abraham and Sarah, He has fulfilled His promise to us in Jesus Christ — the greater promised Son who saves us from sin and assures us of eternal life. Though the world may laugh at the gospel, for those who believe, it is the very power of God (1 Corinthians 1:18). Watch and be encouraged to trust God's promises, even when they seem impossible, and to find joy in the Savior who always proves faithful.

In Genesis 20, Abraham once again falls into an old and familiar sin—choosing fear of man over faith in God by deceiving Abimelech about Sarah. This passage reminds us that sins are often more besetting and repeatable than we realize, but also that God's grace is more extensive than we could ever imagine. In this sermon, Pastor Sam Kraemer unpacks Abraham's repeated failure, his weak excuses, and God's gracious intervention. We see how sinful patterns can pass from one generation to the next, why vigilance in our fight against sin matters, and how God faithfully preserves His promises despite our failures. Most importantly, we are pointed to Christ, the ultimate intervention of God who bore the curse for our sin and empowers us by His Spirit to walk in newness of life. If you've ever struggled with the frustration of falling into the same sin again and again, this message will remind you of the hope of the gospel—that God is patient, faithful, and at work to complete the good work He began in you.

In this sermon from Genesis 19, Pastor Sam Kraemer walks us through the sobering account of Sodom and Gomorrah. Together we see: The wickedness of the city – the depth and spread of sin that brought God's judgment. Lot's lingering heart – the dangers of compromise and loving the world too much. The mercy of God – even in judgment, the Lord extends rescue and grace. This passage reminds us that sin is serious, but God's grace is greater. Just as He mercifully rescued Lot, God rescues sinners today through Jesus Christ. 📖 Key Text: Genesis 19 🙌 Main Themes: The seriousness of sin, the call to leave worldliness behind, and the hope of salvation in Christ. 🔔 Subscribe for more biblical preaching and teaching from Harvest Liberty Lake Church. 📍 Join us Sundays at 10:00am Selkirk Middle School, Liberty Lake, WA 🌐 harvestlibertylake.com

The sermon centers on the importance of prayer and encouragement for political leaders, drawing from the kingly Psalms of David to illustrate principles of support and trust in divine sovereignty. It emphasizes the need to balance active engagement in civic life with a steadfast reliance on God, avoiding panic or compromise in pursuit of political power, and ultimately pointing towards Jesus Christ as the ultimate King and source of hope, urging listeners to remain prayerful, truthful, and joyful in the face of worldly challenges.

Why would a loving God judge sinners so harshly? In Genesis 18, Abraham pleads with God for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, asking, "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?" This age-old question is still asked today: Why does God send good people to hell? In this sermon, Pastor Sam Kraemer unpacks: Why Scripture teaches that no one is truly righteous—"no, not one" (Romans 3:10). How God's justice in punishing sin is both right and necessary. Why the real surprise of the gospel is not God's judgment, but His mercy and grace. How **one truly righteous man—Jesus Christ—**intercedes and saves all who trust in Him. 📖 Text: Genesis 18:16–33; 19:23–28 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Sam Kraemer | Harvest Liberty Lake Church If this message encourages you, consider subscribing for more biblical teaching each week.

In Psalm 19, David reminds us that God has revealed Himself in two books: the book of creation and the book of Scripture. Creation shouts the glory of God—the heavens declare His majesty and the earth testifies to His power. But God has also given us something even greater: His Word, which revives the soul, enlightens the eyes, and points us to our Redeemer. In this message, Pastor Sam Kraemer walks us through Psalm 19 to see: How creation continuously, abundantly, and universally reveals the existence of God Why Scripture is more precious than gold and sweeter than honey How both creation and the Word lead us to Jesus, our Rock and Redeemer 🔔 Don't forget to subscribe for more sermons and teaching from Harvest Liberty Lake Church. 📖 Scripture: Psalm 19 🌐 Learn more: harvestlibertylake.com

The sermon explores the themes of divine strength and deliverance in the face of overwhelming trouble, drawing heavily from Psalm 18 to illustrate God's unwavering presence and power. It emphasizes that even amidst personal struggles, whether financial, relational, or spiritual, believers can find solace and security in knowing God as a personal, powerful, and faithful protector. The message ultimately points to Jesus Christ as the ultimate example of facing terrifying trouble, offering salvation and assurance that through faith, believers can experience God's loving kindness and find refuge in Him, ultimately leading to praise and proclamation of His greatness.

In Psalm 17, David gives us a rare title in the Psalms: "A prayer of David." This prayer models how to run to God in times of false accusation, hardship, and spiritual opposition. Pastor Sam Kraemer opens with a story about Kobe Bryant's relentless dedication to the fundamentals—reminding us that in the Christian life, prayer is one of those "basics" we must never grow weary of. David's example in Psalm 17 teaches us three key truths: Pleading Our Innocence Before God — How to examine ourselves honestly and pray with confidence when accusations are unfounded. Trusting in God's Steadfast Love — Understanding God's hesed, His covenant-keeping love that rescues and sustains His people. Facing the Hatred of the World — Why following Christ will put us at odds with the world, and how to entrust ourselves to the One who judges justly. You'll be challenged to return to the fundamentals of faith, to pray with boldness, and to trust God's ultimate deliverance. 📖 Key Passage: Psalm 17 🎯 Main Idea: Don't move past the basics. Like David, stay rooted in prayer, grounded in God's love, and steadfast when the world opposes you.

In this sermon from Psalm 16, Pastor Sam Kraemer explores the profound goodness of God, both in the present and in the promises to come. Drawing from David's reflections, we learn that our ultimate motivation to follow God is not fear of punishment, but the goodness of His character and His promises of protection, provision, and eternal joy. As David took refuge in God, so can we, finding security in His care. We are also reminded of the importance of loving God's people and experiencing the fullness of life through His guidance. Most importantly, this psalm points to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our ultimate hope and assurance of eternal life. Join us as we reflect on the goodness of God and how it shapes our lives today and forever.
