These words "repent or perish" rolled off the tongue of Jesus on multiple occasions while He was alive. In this sermon on Psalm 7, Hunter Derby shows us how this works out for those who refuse to come to God.

Last week we saw God's heart toward his people as they live in a broken world. This week we see God's heart toward those that do not come to God in this life. In this Psalm, King David shows us that God is angry and that He judges His enemies with righteous judgment. May we be like those who give to the Lord thanks due to his righteousness and sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High (v17).

In this third message in our series "We Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death," Joe Pierce leads us through Psalm 23. In this passage we see God's incredibly tender care for His people.

From this passage we see that God leads us as a shepherd leads his sheep. We see that we do not have to fear evil even when it is all around us. We see that God provides for and blesses his people even when there are enemies all around.

The first few minutes of this message were not recorded.

Last week we saw a man who was crying out to God in the midst of the valley of the shadow of death. Today we look at Psalm 30 where we find that same man responding to God after God lifted him out of his desperate and hopeless situation.

This is the first sermon in a new series entitled "We Walk Through The Valley of the Shadow of Death."

In this sermon we see King David alienated, betrayed and in despair in a desperate situation. Many are out for his life and he is waiting for God to deliver him.  How do we make it through times like these? Psalm 69 will teach us how.

Abraham lived a good long life and died at the age of 175 years. The Bible says that when he died he "was gathered to his people." 

What does this mean? How are we to live in light of this? How are we to live in light of what we have learned from this series through the life of Abraham?

God fulfills His promise to Abraham by bringing Isaac a wife. In this sermon from Gen. 24:1-67, we see God leading Abraham's servant to find a wife for Isaac. As we see this we learn how God works through His providence in our daily affairs to fulfill His purposes.

There is much practical wisdom for daily life throughout this message. It is our hope that you will learn how to recognize God's leading in the decisions that you have to make everyday. 

The first few minutes of the sermon after the discussion were not recorded.

In Gen. 23 Abraham's wife Sarah breathes her last. In this passage we see the necessity of weeping and grieving. Most of us don't do this too well. We also see that even after living in the land for 62 years Abraham still identified as an outsider. In securing a burial plot for his wife it was clear that Abraham and his family were foreigners. The rest of the Bible elaborates on this idea of Abraham's descendants being foreigners in this world. In this sermon we explore Heb. 11:8-16 to see how we are to live as sojourners looking to a city whose designer and make is God.

Look at that title again. Is that really true? The Bible teaches that we are saved by faith alone, not by what we do. If that is so, then why does God judge people according to what He sees them do?

This question arose when we explored Gen. 22:12 which reads "Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me." Wasn't Abraham already saved by faith? If this is true, then why did God say what He said in Gen. 22:12?

In this sermon we see that there is no inconsistency or contradiction in these things. This is just one of those situations where our thoughts and ways are different from Gods. His ways are always higher (Is. 55:8-9). 

In this teaching we explore Gen. 22:15-24. In the previous passage God told Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a human sacrifice. Abraham obeyed and God told him to stop just before Abraham put his son to death. God responds by swearing an oath that He will bring blessing to Abraham and to all the nations of the world. We also see that blessing comes in the midst of sacrifice.

Other passages covered are Heb. 6:13-17, Gal 3:7-8, and Rev. 7:9-10

This week we take a break from Abraham's life in Genesis and take a look at how Abraham and others like him did what they did.

This sermon is from Hebrews 12:1-3.
