Reading: Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32

Fear is a part of the human story - a part of our stories. The reminder that God is in control doesn’t erase our fear, but it gives us the reassurance that God is working within our stories and our fears.

Who is Jesus? This question has been asked by historians, skeptics, and believers alike. Our lives are about entering into this mystery over and over again in the hopes that we learn and grow and then share the good news!

Reading:  Romans 9: 1-5

Fear is a cheap and easy tool to get people to do something. But our God is not a God of fear, but rather a God of love. Come find beauty in the promise that in our brokenness, God is always with us, closer than we can imagine.

Reading:  Romans 8:26-39

In our broken world, it can sometimes feel as though God is nowhere to be found. In our brokenness, it can be hard to see and experience God. Listen for the reassurance that there is nothing that can separate us from God’s love. Nothing.

Reading:  Romans 8:12-25

Hope is not merely wishing for things, it is living with the assurance that God is working, even in the midst of our pain and brokenness. Like labor pain that results in new beginnings and new life, God works with and within our pain.

This sermon is the first in a series of six on God’s amazing work in Christ that brings Good News into our brokenness. God takes the challenges of the world, and the temptations of the world, and gives us another option - to live in Christ through the Spirit!

Reading: Genesis 24: 34-38, 42-49, 58-67 

Why does God no longer seem to talk to people like we read about in the Old Testament? Has God changed? Pastor Erik preaches about how it isn’t God who has changed, but our ability to see God more clearly requires some deliberateness on our part.

The story of Abraham and Isaac is one of the most challenging texts of the Bible. But maybe there’s something more about this text that can help us understand what it means to live a faithful life with God.
