We begin a new series on the book of Philippians this week. What is Paul saying to the struggling church? He says he is certain that God is at work in them, and that he's going to finish what he started. Maybe you are disenchanted with the church? Or hurt by it? But Christ started His work in the church... And he's going to finish the work he started! Don't miss out on this promise! Join the people of God together in worship and watch what he does!

Jesus is the Vine. We are the branches. The Cross is the trellis. We can only find life if we are in the vine. A branch has no root. How do we do that? It's simple.

Pauls letter to Philemon tells a great story with a greater message. And It's all about reconciliation. We, like Paul, are called ministers of reconciliation. So how do we reconcile ourselves to those who have wronged us? And who do we need to reconcile with?

So.... Easter was awesome! We brought our best, and felt really great, but here we are a week after easter and we find ourselves still tethered to this broken world. So what happens now? What should life look like after resurrection? It's a risen life! You were "Raised With Him" so set your eyes on on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of the father and live!

As we bring this sermon series on Rest and Sabbath to an end, let's consider how we look everywhere to find the peace but it never satisfies? It's because we were made to rest in God. But what is the "Rest of God"? What is this "Eternal Sabbath" it talks about in Heb 4:9-10?

We can only rest when we enter into the mission of God. What is the mission of God? Isaiah 58 describes it as a fast that looses bonds of wickedness and frees the oppressed. And sharing bread with the hungry and bringing the homeless/poor into your house. Jesus says what you have done to the least of these you have done unto me. We pray you are encouraged by this sermon from Isaiah 58 to live out the mission of God in your own lives!

If you want to enter into the rest of God, you need to release those who have sinned against you. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. So who do you need to forgive?

Luke tells us about Jesus in a very unique way. It's all through the lens of "sabbath". Jesus defines, and begins his own ministry in terms of sabbath. Our God is committed to giving rest. If that is what Jesus was doing then.... Isn't that what Jesus would be doing now?

Sabbath is war against anything that would take God's place in your life. This week we take a peek deeper into God's rest. How God is inviting us into His rest. And how rest is an act of worship, not for us, but rather, for God! And how we image God when we give rest to others!

We can only rest if we trust God. In Exodus 16 God is teaching his people to trust him by providing them daily bread. Just enough for each day.

Rest is war in the cosmic realm. It's a war against the "taskmaster". There a four snapshots from Exodus that show us who the taskmaster is and how he tries to keep us from rest.

What is your relationship to work? Do you feel like work keeps you from rest? God taught Adam to rest before he taught him to work. Rest is a more important part of the liturgy of our lives than we may think. Join us on the journey to find rest for our souls in Christ.

Rest is intertwined into creation, we were created for rest. But it's hard to rest when there's so much to do! It's easy to trade rest for escape. But God wants us to worship Him by resting.

The wise men saw the sign in the sky that the king that was prophesied had arrived. The arrival of a child changes everything! How should Jesus' arrival change the way we live? The end of epiphany reminds us that the old life is falling apart but we hold onto it nevertheless. But the King has arrived and He is changing everything!

Everyone has life defining moments. In 1 kings we see some of Elijah's life defining moments. And from these we can know that God was to meet us when he calls us up on the mountain tops, and when we're hiding for fear of our lives. He meets us in wind, and fire, but also in the silence of a whisper. And he shows up, generation, after generation, after generation!

What do we leave those we leave behind when we die? We all leave something, good bad, or indifferent. But what Abraham passes down to his ancestors is something greater than anything money can buy. It's called Hope!

Why is Abraham tested by God? Why are you tested by God? How can God stay true to all His promises when life looks the way it does right now in this moment? Surely Abraham feels this when he is raising his hand with the knife. It feels like God is turning His back on Abraham, and on us. But we find out in this passage that He tests us because He loves us. How does this make sense? find out in this sermon about the life of Abraham.

Sermon: "The Disciple Rejoices" // Genesis 18 and 21 by Redeemer Rockwall

God covenants with Abraham, but He also calls Abraham to obey. God calls Abraham to bear the sign of circumcision, that he might live by faith in the hope of the Promised One to come. The Promised One comes, bringing with Him a circumcision made without hands, that His faithful might live obediently by the sign of His New Covenant (baptism), while waiting with hope for His return.

Abraham, is learning very quickly that his new God would not tolerate his old ways of worshiping the moon god. He used to pay tribute to the moon god but in this passage we see Abraham now gives to the LORD because he wants everyone to know that he no longer worships the moon god, he worships the Most High. When we give sacrificially we remind ourselves where our true allegiance is. Who do you worship? You can find out if you look at your bank statement.

Abraham, enters Egypt to save his family. But he is so afraid for his life that he gives his wife to the Pharaoh! The wife who was to bear a son that God promised would bless all the nations! Not the stereotypical picture of father Abraham. But we have fear too. What can we learn from this man of faith about our own fear?

Abraham, as the first disciple, worships by building an altar. But there's more going on here than piling up stones. Abraham worships the Lord by waging war on the gods of the land he arrived in.

David wrote this Psalm in the aftermath of taking another man wife, then having him killed and then covering it up like nothing happened.
