Against the Grain, Week 2: Living Away from Home

The Genesis of Grace, Week 2: The Last Laugh

God’s promise to Abraham seemed impossible. Although they were well past child-bearing years, they would have a son who would carry on their family name, the first of Abraham’s descendants, who would be as numerous as the stars. Such a promise seemed so unbelievable that Sarah laughed out loud at the thought. But in the end, God got the last laugh, delivering a miracle child named Isaac. In this message, we talk about the bold promises God makes and how God is faithful to His promises, even against all odds.

The Genesis of Grace, Week 1: The Call of Abram

By Genesis 12, the good world that God made was on the brink of destruction. Human sin and brokenness spread across the globe, infecting everything with a sickness unto death. God’s plan to redeem the world begins with his gracious calling of a man named Abram. Abram’s willingness to obey by packing up his family and going to a new land is the beginning of the story of God’s saving grace. In this message, we discover how God’s grace calls us to be willing step out into the unknown, trusting God to make a way.

Against the Grain, Week 5: Be Prepared

As a Boy Scout, I learned a motto that has stuck with me through the years, “be prepared.” In life, it is important to prayerfully prepare for the variety of circumstances we may face. Peter knew the importance of spiritual preparation, especially in light of the hardships he knew he would encounter because of his faith in Jesus. Rather than react to hardships when they arrived, Peter prepared himself to see each challenge as an opportunity to share his faith. In this message, we examine ways that we can spiritually prepare to our personal trials into our testimonies.
