"God The Sovereign" Exodus 9 August 4, 2024 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Exodus 9:1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.  [16] But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth. God will be glorified- Through the worship of His people. By displays of His sovereign judgment.         • The unapologetic sovereignty of God (1-7)         • God the sovereign over the powers of the occult (8-12)          • God the Sovereign reveals His purposes (13-21)          • God the Sovereign displays his power through the intensification of the plagues (22-26)          • God the Sovereign over human hearts (7,12,27-35) "The battle is the Lord’s and he shall prevail. We are not to worry about our prospects. Do you worry about things? You needn’t and you shouldn’t. A narrative like this should lay the ax to the root of your worries. This God is our

“Loving Without Limits” Matthew 5:43-48 August 4, 2024 Pastor Tony Felich   ----more---- Matthew 5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ [44] But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, [45] so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. [46] For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? [47] And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? [48] You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.      We reflect our Lord the most when we are loving toward everyone we meet.            •   What does it mean to “love”? (43-44)            •   Who are our neighbors and enemies?            •   How does the practice of such love reflect God? (45-48)

“A Wisdom Psalm: Unless the Lord Builds” July 28, 2024 Psalm 127 Pastor John Choi    ----more---- Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. [2] It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved  sleep. [3] Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. [4] Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.  [5] Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.  There is true rest in our work when God's providential hand is in it and when we work diligently for His glory.    •   God in the building and guarding of our lives         •   God in the building and guarding of our families         •   Christ who builds and guards His beloved

“Self-Denial for the Sake of Christ” Matthew 5:38-42 July 21, 2024 Pastor Tony Felich    ----more---- Matthew 5:38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ [39] But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. [40] And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. [41] And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. [42] Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.     Christians should be willing to absorb personal offense to represent Christ and His Kingdom.       How should we react when someone wrongs us?         •  Exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees (38-39a)         •  When we are insulted/abused by someone(39)         •  When we are unjustly treated by someone (40)         •  When we are taken advantage of by someone (41)         •  When we are imposed upon by someone (42)

“Confidently Live for Christ” Philippians 1:19-26 July 14, 2024 Pastor Nathan Currey   ----more---- Philippians 1:18 Yes, and I will rejoice, [19] for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, [20] as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. [21] For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. [22] If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. [23] I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. [24] But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. [25] Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, [26] so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.  When your lif

“God’s Plan to Advance the Gospel” Philippians 1:12-18 July 7, 2024 Pastor Nathan Currey   ----more---- Philippians 1:12 I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, [13] so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. [14] And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. [15] Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. [16] The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. [17] The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. [18] What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.      God’s plan to advance the gospel must humble us and glorify Him.         I.  God’s plan is more wise and powerful than man’s

"God, Judge, and Savior" Exodus 8 June 30, 2024 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Exodus 8:1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, “Let my people go, that they may serve me. [2] But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs. [3] The Nile shall swarm with frogs that shall come up into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls. [4] The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your servants.”’” [5] And the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!’” [6] So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. [7] But the magicians did the same by their secret arts and made frogs come up on the land of Egypt. [8] Then Pharaoh called

“Keep Your Word” Matthew 5:31-37 June 30, 2024 Pastor Tony Felich    ----more----                                               Matthew 5:31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ [32] But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. [33] “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ [34] But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, [35] or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. [36] And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. [37] Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.      The practice of truthfulness mirrors the character of Christ more than any other tra

“Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery According to Jesus” June 23, 2024 Matthew 5:27-30 Pastor Tony Felich         ----more---- Matthew 5:27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ [28] But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. [29] If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. [30] And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.       Jesus urgently clarifies and updates the Seventh Commandment (Thou shalt not commit adultery) for Christians.         •    What is the full meaning of “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery”?           •    Why is there such urgency attached to this command         •    How should we (Christians) apply this truth?

“Thou Shalt Not Murder According to Jesus” June 9, 2024 Matthew 5:21-26 Pastor Tony Felich    ----more---- Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. [18] For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. [19] Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [20] For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. [21] “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ [22] But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the coun
