The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend

Text: Habakkuk 1:5-11 As (so it would seem) Yahweh God responds to Habbabuk’s complaint, we begin to see a reflection of our own current culture, only to realize that, just maybe, the difficulties we are experiencing could be a judgment from the Lord on His rather divided called out assembly. The prophet learns that the Lord will be using a wicked nation to discipline His people. Could this be repeating itself with the Church?

Embracing the Poet Prophet Habakkuk

Text: Habakkuk 1:1-4 In much the same way as when we began our series in James, we begin our study in Habakkuk asking the questions: Who was he? When did he live and write? What were the circumstances occasioning his writing? Why do we call him a poet prophet? What does his name mean and why was he named that? Why ask “Why?”

It Starts with “Yes”

Sermon text: Numbers 14:8-9 Every great endeavor for the Lord begins with someone submitting to God’s directives. Joshua and Caleb are great examples of this. The situation on the ground was daunting. The odds were long. But they trusted that the Lord would lead them. This was all they needed to know. The same is true for us. If the Lord leads in a direction, He will give us the resources to bring His plan to completion.

Be and Fulfill

Sermon text: Romans 13:6-14 As we finish out Romans 13, Paul provides us further guidance on how we are to treat each other, in light of the government God has instituted. We mentioned in the previous message that verse 6 is transitional. It leads us directly into fulfilling our obligations, loving each other with God’s kind of love and being ready for the return of Christ Jesus.

Government: God’s Idea

Sermon text: Romans 13:1-5 As we continue our study through the book of Romans, we come upon some very practical guidance regarding government from the apostle Paul. It was God’s idea that man have a system for dealing with each other. We need not fear it, when we are doing what is right. We also open with a disclaimer that disobedience is sometimes warranted.
