Teaching Emmanuel

Psalms 42-43 teaches the drowning soul how to pray. Not by demanding God stop the storm, but by declaring His unchanging character back to itself until hope overtakes despair.

Theme: Hidden sin destroys joy, but confession brings restoration.

Prayer Emphasis: “Lord, make me honest before You.”

Theme: Confidence in God produces courageous worship and patient waiting. In Psalm 27, King David gives us three reasons to seek God's face.

God allows His people to suffer in this life and He uses it for His glory and the good of the Kingdom.
It can become easy for the one suffering to wonder where God is in the midst of it all.  

Main Idea: Faithful believers can honestly bring their sorrow before the Father who loves, saves, and is covenant faithful to His children.

The Psalms teach us the language of life with God. This sermon encourages us to begin our pursuit of delight in God's Word.

God fills His people with His Spirit and His Word so that they may teach, encourage and strengthen one another through song.

This is the final sermon in the series, That You May Know. In this sermon we will learn how we can live with confidence in this world knowing that we have life and fellowship with God through his Son.

God’s love revealed in Christ creates a new kind

of people.

We discern what is of God and what is of the world by testing every message according to the truth about Jesus and the apostolic word.

John is helping believers to prepare for the inevitable season of doubt where there is a struggle with assurance of salvation. The struggles can come when the Spirit convicts us that we aren’t loving perfectly or that we are managing sin instead of fighting it.
