Restored: Blessings to Come
Matthew 5:1-12
Speaker: Christian Johns

The Beatitudes are something most of us who grew up in church have heard about before.  But what really is a beatitude?  The beatitudes are a list of blessings given to all disciples by Christ and they teach us how we should live our lives in accordance with the will of God.  Come this Sunday to hear about the blessings to come!

The Pursuit of Happiness
Psalm 128

Many people, even Christians, think that life, as the Declaration of Independence says, is about pursuing happiness.  Instead, the Psalms indicate that life is best when concerned with God’s blessings.  “Blessing” and “happiness” must be understood as two very different things.  Happiness is fleeting and dwells on the things of this world.  But blessing is long-lasting and dwells on the things of God and the world to come.

Finding Your Purpose
Jeremiah 29:10-13a; Luke 12:22-31

This sermon will focus on finding your purpose and calling in life.  Does life have a purpose?  How do we choose our occupation, our spouse, and make the big decisions that come our way?  Is life just random?  What standard should we use? Jeremiah reflects on something of the purpose in life that God grants to each of us: to use our gifts in glorifying Him.

The Basket Case
Exodus 1:22-2:10

We will focus on the powerful sacrifice of love that Moses’ mother lived out in giving up her baby and to give him to God.  This, in some sense, is what we are all called to do as parents at home and as adults in the congregation – to give our children to the Lord.

With No Other Way Out
Romans 7:15-25a

The Apostle Paul writes a tongue twister that is nevertheless true about us all: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” And he calls out for spiritual rescue. The heart of the gospel is that, despite our failings and even our best efforts, Christ saves us from our predicament. He indeed is our Savior.

The Ministry of Reconciliation
Ephesians 4:1-6, 25-32; Matthew 18:15-20; 2 Corinthians 5:16-21

Controlling our emotions, listening to one another, seeking each other out are all parts of how Christians are to experience life with one another in the church. But more than anything else, our unity is based on a reconciliation Christ accomplished for us with God the Father, a reconciliation we in turn offer to one another.

One Body, Many Parts
I Corinthians 12:12-31

Though every congregation is a fragile group, one spiritual gift bonds all together:  our shared faith in Christ Jesus as Lord.  In addition, there are varieties of gifts, services, and work in the church, but it is the same Spirit, Lord, and God operating in us all, and we are all charged to serve the common good.

The Mystery of the Tomb
John 20:1-9

The theme of this Easter sermon is how essential the resurrection of Christ is to our faith, that the tomb was empty and that Christ rose that we might have hope for both today and the future. “He is risen indeed!”

Who Is Barabbas, Anyway?
Matthew 27:15-26

Barabbas was called a “notorious prisoner” and was placed in the balance against Jesus: one a dreadful sinner, the other an innocent man.  The Jews called for Barabbas to be released and Jesus to be crucified.  Who is Barabbas?: We are!

Having a Humble Heart
Psalm 131

This simple psalm of David expresses something quite difficult to pray sincerely – that we not have proud hearts, haughty eyes; that we not concern ourselves with matters too large for ourselves.  Instead, we should have stilled and quieted souls. May God help us to quiet ourselves, to humble ourselves, and satisfy ourselves before God.

Escaping Dragons
Psalm 124

God is our help. “If the Lord had not been on our side,” then we would be mired in our own troubles. But, as the Psalmist says, “We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord!”

Watching Over You
Psalm 121

Focus here will be on the sovereignty of God: that God is constantly watching over us, granting us strength, protecting us. And he never slumbers nor sleeps.  Does our help come from these mountains?  No.  Our help comes from him who created them: the Lord our God.

New Series:  “The Lord’s Prayer:  How to Pray Like Jesus”

Kingdom, Power, and Glory Forever
(Seventh in Series on the Lord's Prayer)
 Matthew 6:9-13 (special emphasis on Matthew 6:13)

While the doxology of the Lord’s Prayer is not in many translations (and we shall discuss why it is not), it has been Christian tradition for centuries to pray that all the credit and glory goes to God.  Why should we not pray that all the purpose for living is for God? And we say, “Amen”: “So be it!”
