Habakkuk

When God Brings SufferingThis sermon explores the biblical book of Habakkuk to understand the nature of suffering and how believers can trust God's sovereignty, mercy, and ultimate purpose amid pain and confusion. It highlights Habakkuk's honest questions about God's silence and justice, God's surprising answers using wicked nations like Babylon, and the importance of living by faith. The message emphasizes that God's ways are higher than ours, suffering is part of His divine plan, and in trusting Him, we find hope, joy, and assurance that His purposes will ultimately prevail for His glory.

Acts 11:19–30

The Hand of the Lord | Acts 11:19–30Jesus builds His kingdom through ordinary believers, partnering churches, and sacrificial generosity. In this message, we see that the risen Lord spreads the gospel, strengthens His church, and displays His glory through the faithful work of His people.

Galatians 1:10-24

Continuation of our Galatians series: Dr. Joy unpacks Paul's bold defense of the gospel—directly revealed by Christ, not man-made. From zealous Pharisee persecuting the church (even at Stephen's stoning) to God's chosen vessel for Gentiles, Paul's life proves salvation is by grace alone through faith, not works or circumcision.No need to become Jewish first—Gentiles are equal in God's kingdom! Paul went to Arabia (Mount Sinai) for 3 years to study Scripture in light of his Damascus Road encounter, then briefly met Peter & James. This fueled the Reformation's 5 Solas: Faith alone, Grace alone, Scripture alone, Christ alone, Glory to God alone.His testimony glorifies God: "If I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ." A call to live for God's glory, not human approval.

Galatians 1:1-9

The One True GospelDescription:Artificial strawberry flavors can make real fruit taste bitter — and the same thing happens when the gospel is diluted. In this message from Galatians 1:1-9, Paul warns the church not to abandon the one true gospel for a “different gospel.” Jesus gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, and that gospel is both authoritative and exclusive.Paul doesn’t soften the truth: even if an angel preached another message, it must be rejected. The true gospel doesn’t need adding to, editing, or “modernizing.” It is the only message that saves, changes, and keeps us rooted in grace.This sermon also calls the church to value gospel clarity, gospel-centered preaching, faithful church membership, and loving church discipline. If the gospel feels bitter at first, go back to the Word again and again until it tastes sweet.#Galatians1 #TrueGospel #GraceAlone #ChristAlone #BibleTeaching

John 2:1-11

The Generosity of God Revealed in Jesus ChristDescription:Jesus reveals Father's extravagant glory (Jn 1:14 "Word tabernacled"; Ex 34 mercy/grace) via Cana wedding: Non-obligatory gift (no debt to man), overcomes bridegroom's shame, unexpected (water pots → wine), superior ("best till now"), purposeful (no waste in trials), foretaste of Zion feast (Isa 25/Joel 2). John's 7 signs build faith Jesus = Christ, Son of God (Jn 20). From prologue to Lazarus climax.#JohnGospel #CanaWedding #GraceUponGrace #PastorWayneLaw #ChristianSermon
