Pastor Tim | Sept 12
1 John 2:1-6
John begins to uncover the reason for writing his letter in these verses. In the first of 2 messages we see we have assurance because Jesus defends us before the Father. We then see 3 principles of assurance of our salvation in verses 3-17. This messages covers our life is marked by obedience.
God’s Light and Our Darkness
Pastor Tim | Sept 5
1 John 1:5-10
In these concluding verses of chapter 1, John describes God as Light. In the same way light eliminates darkness, God the Light exposes darkness. As a result of our relationship as believers with the Light, we are called to walk in the Light. This passages teaches us how to do so.
Jesus Is Real
Pastor Tim | Aug 29
1 John 1:1-4
The Apostle John opens this epistle describing how he knew Jesus. Today, though we cannot see the physical Jesus, we are able to have a relationship with the real Jesus. It is also necessary for those who have a relationship with Jesus to share it with others.
Result of Redemption
Pastor Tim | July 25
Ruth 4:13-22
As our study of Ruth comes to a conclusion, we see God at work through His redeeming love. We notice two ways God accomplishes His far-reaching purposes. We end seeing that God provides the Messiah to save sinners.
Romance of Redemption
Pastor Tim | July 18
Ruth 4:1-12
From these first verses in Ruth chapter 4 we see the story of God’s redeeming love come to a close. In this passage we see how wonderful Boaz’s redemption of Ruth is. This helps us understand and develop a deeper appreciation of the depth of Christ’s redeeming love for us. Redemption is not as straight forward as it seems – there is a price to pay. The question is: Who will pay it?
Planning in the Midst of Providence
Pastor Tim | July 11
Ruth 3
How are we to live in response to God’s providence? Are we to sit back and just wait for things to happen as they happen? Our passage today shows that we are to do just the opposite. We are to be intentional and purposeful in our planning and then take action allowing God to direct our steps. We see Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz all doing this.
