James 5:13-18 - The Power of Prayer

The Unassailable Promises of God, Part 1

The sermon explored the story behind the hymn 'His Eye is on the Sparrow,' tracing its origins in the life of Civilla Martin and her husband, Walter, who had run in with the law in the summer of 1903. Later they'd collaborate and write a few enduring hymns. Drawing theology from Matthew 10, the lesson centers on God's unwavering care for faithful Christians who suffer persecution. It encourages listeners facing adversity and persecution, emphasizing that even in difficult circumstances, God's eye is ever watchful and provides comfort and hope.

The sermon explores the narrative of God's establishing a home on earth with humanity, drawing connections between the physical restoration of the temple in Ezra and the homecoming of God's people through Jesus Christ. It emphasizes that Cyrus's decree, while seemingly political, was divinely orchestrated to facilitate the return of exiled Israelites and the rebuilding of God's temple-home, facilitating God's broader plan to dwell with humanity. Pastor Ritchie connects this historical account to the ongoing work of God, through Christ, to recreate and restore creation as His dwelling place with all redeemed people.

Genesis - 1:26-29 : The Image of God - Part 2 - Carlos Pamplona

The sermon explores the enduring message of hope and grace found in Annie Johnson Flint's hymn, 'He Giveth More Grace.' Drawing from Flint's life story—marked by early loss, adoption, chronic illness, and a deep faith—the message emphasizes that God's grace is not a one-time event but a continuous provision, especially during times of suffering and hardship. The speaker connects this to biblical themes of triumph through adversity, exemplified by figures like Joseph and Job, and highlights the importance of recognizing God's presence and power even when facing overwhelming challenges, ultimately encouraging listeners to trust in God's limitless resources and to actively participate in alleviating the suffering of others.

Drawing from parables of the dragnet and the master of the house, the sermon emphasizes that understanding the kingdom of God provides clarity regarding the present and future, particularly in light of global turmoil and spiritual conflict. It explains that the kingdom's gradual growth, marked by both righteous believers and those ultimately destined for judgment, will culminate in a final, decisive separation at the end of the age. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to actively share the gospel, recognizing their role as stewards of God's truths, both old and new, and to embrace the mission of bringing others into the kingdom.

The Unassailable Promises of God, Part 1

The sermon explores the enduring legacy of a musical evangelist, examining the life and work of Philip Bliss, a prolific composer of gospel hymns. It traces Bliss's journey from a Christian upbringing and early musical training to his collaboration with evangelist D.L. Moody, highlighting his role in establishing the genre of gospel songs and contributing to the creation of beloved hymns like "Hallelujah, What a Savior." The message emphasizes the theological depth of Bliss's work, particularly its portrayal of Christ as the "Man of Sorrows" who bore the weight of human sin, and underscores the power of music to convey profound spiritual truths and inspire faith, ultimately celebrating the enduring impact of his compositions on Christian worship and culture.

Matthew 13:44-46; The Immeasurable Value of the Kingdom - Stephen Feinstein

EXILE and EXODUS are themes that run through Scripture. God has always intended to live with humanity on earth. Because of sin we are exiled from God's presence and home. Because of Christ we can experience exodus back into God's presence. See how the account of Ezra fits into this biblical motif that is connected to Christ.
