Judges 2:11-20: Who Should be King? (Far as the Curse is Found)

Welcome to the 19th sermon in our series on the overall story of the Bible. (19 of 23)

The Bible is filled with a whole lot of characters and stories that ultimately tell one big story. We believe the Bible ultimately tells the story of God...and we’re all included! This grand story is the story we tell every week when we gather: God Created the world and it was good and we enjoyed perfect relationship with God. In Genesis 3, however, mankind Rebelled against God and from that, everything fell apart. God made a covenant, made many covenants that He, alone would be faithful to keep. And, through Jesus, He will Redeem His people! One day, God, through Christ, will Restore all things, he will make the world right again. God, one day, will make His glories known as far as the curse has reached. Starting this Sunday, we will look more in depth at this whole story.

Colossians 3:1-17: Waiting in Suffering (The Discipline of Suffering)

Welcome to our 3rd sermon in our series on walking with God through pain and suffering. (3 of 3)

Normally, every January, we take time to focus on various spiritual disciplines that we can re-commit to practicing throughout the year. Spiritual disciplines and practices are not "goals to accomplish," although certainly feeling a measure of joy in starting and sustaining times of prayer and fasting is worthy of celebrating. Spiritual disciplines are strategies toward reaching the goal, and that goal is to know and trust and be more and more conformed to the image of Jesus.

Culturally, we are simply ill-equipped to walk confidently, yet humbly with God in times of suffering. This doesn't just affect our trust and walk with God in difficult situations, it affects our view and trust of God in ALL of life. So, to begin this year, we'll take a few weeks to examine the regular practices and habits of walking with God through pain and suffering and toward deep, transformational, long lasting hope.
