Solomon's Sermon

A Man Not Afraid

What does it take to be a man who isn't afraid? Looking at Caleb's life in Joshua 14, Pastor Andrew shows that godly manhood isn't measured by power or position but by faithfulness to God. Caleb wasn't afraid to lead, wasn't afraid to face giants, and wasn't afraid to wholly follow the Lord, even at 85 years old. This Father's Day message is a challenge to every father and man to lead their family spiritually, face the giants in their life through faith rather than fear, and leave behind a legacy of wholehearted devotion to God rather than just an inheritance.

Judging With Wisdom

What does it really mean to ask, seek, and knock? Many take Matthew 7:7-12 as a promise that God grants whatever we request, but in context Jesus is teaching us how to gain the wisdom we need to deal rightly with people. Before judging others, we're called to seek God's perspective rather than our own limited view, trust that His judgment is perfect even when ours fails, and treat others with the same fairness and grace we'd want for ourselves. Discover why true discernment starts with humility before God, not confidence in what we think we already know.

Christian Conduct That Glorifies God: Following In His Steps

What does it really mean to follow Christ? Drawing from 1 Peter 2:21-25, Pastor Andrew shows that the Christian life is not just about believing in Jesus but walking in his steps. Christ is your example in how to respond when life is unfair, your substitute who personally bore your sin on the cross, and your shepherd who watches over your soul every day. Following him does not require perfection, only a willingness to keep trying and to trust God with what you cannot control.

Isaiah

The book of Isaiah has 66 chapters, a key theme of salvation, and more prophecies about Jesus Christ than any other Old Testament book. Pastor Andrew walks through the structure, major themes, and key passages of this sweeping prophetic book, from God's holiness and Israel's sin in chapters 1 through 39, to the comfort, redemption, and stunning portrait of the suffering Messiah in chapters 40 through 66. Isaiah 53, Isaiah 6, and Isaiah 7:14 are among the passages explored. When we see God as high and lifted up, it changes everything.

Judge Not???

Matthew 7:1 may be the most misquoted verse in the Bible, but Jesus is not forbidding all judgment. Pastor Andrew walks through the opening verses of Matthew 7 to show that the real issue is not whether we judge, but how and why we do it. Before pointing out the speck in someone else's eye, Scripture calls us to honestly examine the beam in our own. Self-righteous criticism and spiritual discernment are not the same thing, and God alone knows the heart.
