Sunday Sermons

Better Than All the Rest
Psalm 13

A regular element of Old Testament prayer, as revealed in the Psalms, was drawing upon God’s character and past deeds.  This practice illustrated the person’s trust and confidence that God was both capable and willing to help, as well as encouraged God to act in ways consistent with how He had acted in the past. In this sense, the Prayer of Confidence is both a praise and a plea.  It fits the bill of glorifying God for his many attributes and powerful actions, while requesting that he put those attributes and power to work on our behalf once again.

I Can’t Do This On My Own!
1 Samuel 1:9-18

A second common of area or prayer seen throughout the Old Testament is the Plea.  Whereas the protest cries out for God’s attention and action regarding something in the world around us, the plea primarily does the same for something uniquely personal to us as individuals.  We cry out to God for help, be it for deliverance, provision, restoration, relief, mercy, or something else, hoping and believing that our prayer will draw God’s attention and move him to action on our behalf.

A Little More Off The Sides, Please
Exodus 32:11-14

One of the greatest aspects to living life with God is the access we have to communicate with him.  Throughout the Bible, prayer is exemplified in many different forms, all of which illustrate the possibility that God’s people have to speak to and hear from their loving Father.  Over the next five weeks, we’ll consider five different nuances of communication with God. First up: Protest!  Does that seem strange to you?  And yet, throughout the Psalms the people of God rise up and call on their God to action in areas where they see injustice or evil having a place in their world.  God always listens, sometimes is moved to action, and sometimes allows consequences to play out.  But his people are always invited to bring their protests before him.

Praise Him With the Harp and the Cymbal
Psalm 34:1-3

Singing has been a part of the life of the church for its entire history, and a part of the community of God even longer than that.  It continues to be the chief manner in which the people of God corporately express their thanks, adoration, and amazement to God for the wonderful things he has done, the incredible God that he is, and their hope for what he will do in the future.  Praise, in its many manifestations, is a practice and a discipline for all who live life with God.

A Reciprocating Relationship of Generosity
Isaiah 58:1-10

For Israel, life with God was full of blessings.  Over and over the Old Testament speaks about all the things God gave his people: land, protection, manna, deliverance, torah, and children just to name a few.  But Israel’s relationship with God was never to be one-sided. In as much as they received, they were to be givers to God.  Examples of Israel’s giving can be found throughout the laws, in the forms of the sacrificial system, the tithe, and the benevolence with one another.  The wisdom writings affirm this type of lifestyle.  And the Prophets chastise Israel over and over again for choosing to be selfish instead.  An exceedingly generous God expected his people to be exceedingly generous.

Just Passing Through
Genesis 23:1-4

The story of the Israelite people in the Old Testament paints and vivid picture of transience: from nomadic Abraham, to refugee Jacob, to imprisoned Joseph, to the people enslaved in Egypt, to wandering in the wilderness, to war in the Promised Land, to settlers, to defenders, to exiles, to returning home!  The story is one of traveling, wandering, sojourning and the people were constantly identified as aliens, strangers, and visitors.  The Psalmists recognized in this a spiritual truth for all people: We are all just temporary residents here.  The Earth is the Lord’s, and all that is in it, and we are only here for a short while.  So how we do sojourn with God through this life, making the most of every opportunity and enjoying all of God’s good creation, while at the same time remembering that we are only aliens here.  Our permanent residence awaits us elsewhere.

Shear, Shave, Shine:  Do Something Good For Your Soul

Maybe you hit the barbershop, or maybe you prefer the salon.  Possibly you even visit the spa from time to time.  Whether it’s for a trim, a shave, a color, a style, or any other matter of personal grooming, all of these establishments are designed to freshen up, clean up, and spruce up your outward appearance and how you feel about yourself.  But how long has it been since you did a little soul grooming?  A little cleaning, trimming, sprucing up, or just good ole pampering?  For our Spring worship series at ROBC we’re going to spend some time on our individual, spiritual walks with God and how living our lives with God can strengthen and sharpen our inner selves. Join us as we consider how the Old Testament people of God viewed living with God, not just as an add-on to their lives, but as the central, overarching force for every faithful follower.

This Sunday's Sermon: Courageous Obedience
Joshua 1:1-9

Obedience, discipline, meekness, submission…these are words we don’t like to talk about. They make us feel uneasy; they dispossess us of our own independence and personal strength. However, in the Bible, we see that these terms are overwhelmingly used to describe a faithful believer. In particular, the term obedience is noted as an essential trait of some of the strongest names of the Old Testament: Joshua, Ruth, Abraham, and Deborah to name a few. As we look at these styles for our soul, today’s discussion is on obedience. How do we weave it into our lives, balancing the distance between legalism and lawlessness, grace-filled lives find obedience to be a pathway to a life more fully lived.

This Sunday's Sermon: In Your Capable Hands
Isaiah 2:6-9, 22, 51:1-8; Psalm 119:81-88, 78:1-8

I suppose there are a few people who can cut their own hair, but for the most part, we all need a little help.  The same goes for trimming the back of your neck or getting a pedicure.  Sure, you can do it yourself, but it sure is easier to trust someone else to help.  The same can be said for life in general.  We can go through it trying to make our own way and trust fully in our own strengths and abilities.  But the people of God in the Old Testament recognized that a life lived with God should bring about TRUSTING God.  You don't go back to a stylist or a barber that you think isn't trustworthy.  You want to be in capable hands.  And as we navigate the years of our lives, there are no more capable hands in which to place ourselves than the Lord's.

Carry On My Wayward Son
Acts 11:19-30

While the Apostle Paul is widely known as one of the early church’s most pivotal figures, few take note of the key role of a mentor in his life that receives brief attention here in Acts 11.  We have already heard of this man named Barnabas and his work in the early church, but chances are that nothing he did impacted the church quite as much as taking a new convert and former enemy under his wing and investing in him, thus developing a new leader and multiplying his own ministry influence.  While once a Wayward Son, thanks in part to the investment by Barnabas, Paul was given the ability to Carry On in new and powerful ministry ventures.

I Fought the Law
Acts 6:1-7:19

As the early church became aware of new needs, new leaders were recognized and appointed.  The new community was willing to adapt in order to accomplish its mission.  The adding of deacons also introduced two characters who figure prominently in the upcoming chapters, Stephen and Philip.  Much like Peter before, Stephen finds himself before the Jewish leaders giving an account of their connection to God’s work in Jesus.  But unlike Peter, Stephen pulls no punches, using his people’s own history to show how God’s work was never intended to be exclusive to one people or one nation.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Acts 5:12-42

Peter now makes his second appearance in not many days before the Jewish Sanhedrin on charges that he has disobeyed the ruling they had issued earlier.  He was very near to receiving a death penalty when the decision of the ruling body was adjusted thanks to the logic of a member named Gamaliel.  In comparing this uprising to others, he reminded them that if this movement was of human origin it would eventually die out, but if it was from God then they would merely find themselves fighting with the Almighty.  Peter takes a beating and is released to continue preaching, only the first of many “best shots” that kings and empires have taken at the Christian church through the years.  And yet, still it stands, its members never allowing obstacles to prevent them from pressing on.
