The Choice: Trust Yourself or God?
At the example of Psalm 1, of David, Jeremiah draws a distinct contrast between people who think they have to save themselves, and those who just trust God, and are saved by grace. Given the choice? Trust in God.
Here We Sing with Angels
The title of our sermon is literally true. We sing a canticle which God composed and which the angels sang in Solomon’s temple. We sing the “Holy, holy, holy” here every Sunday. Just like Isaiah, each one of us is commissioned by the Lord to proclaim the Good News. Let your light shine!
Love Never Fails
This text of 1 Corinthians 13 on love, is quite often used at weddings, because it explores the word “love”. However, this love is from God, it’s pure, it expects nothing in return, it is not envious, it seeks the well-being of the other party. Only God’s love can accomplish all these things!
Everyone Counts in Christ’s Family
The Apostle Paul explains to us that each of us counts and is part of Jesus’ body-the Church. It was God who composed the Body! Hence, there is a reason for which God made each of us. He assigned each one of us for a task. May He guide and strengthen us so we can do our share!
Fear Not – I Redeemed You.
There is a large piece of granite by the north entrance to our building. Isaiah 43:1 is carved in that stone. It also is my confirmation verse. I can’t tell you how often I have run home to that verse, assigned to me by the pastor who confirmed me. I think of it several times a day. It’s comforting. It gives me courage.
Stewards of God’s Grace
The Apostle Paul uses the term “economist” of God’s grace to describe himself. He is a steward of God’s grace. This is also a function of every Christian. We are to be God’s lamplighters in a world darkened by sin, immorality and conflict. With God’s Word we can do it!
