The Widow’s Oil

Sermon text: 2 Kings 4:1-7 The wife of a prophet was in dire straits. Her husband was dead and she was in debt. The creditor was planning to enslave her young sons to recover his money. She came to Elisha begging him for help. The prophet asked what she had in her house. She responded that she had nothing but a jar of oil. But the Lord used that jar of oil in a mighty way! And how God used…

The Thin Line of Faith (Joshua 2:15-24)

In the second week of our look at Rahab, the focus is on the clarity of the gospel message. The spies gave Rahab very specific instructions on what she must do to survive the conquest of Jericho. If she followed their directives, she would survive. If not, they would not be responsible for her demise. Similarly, when the Holy Spirit presents the opportunity to witness to a lost person, we need to present the plan of salvation in a clear,…

Trouble Ahead (Mark 4:35-41)

Mark’s account of Jesus calming the Sea of Galilee teaches us a great deal about facing trials in life. We all come up against periods of trouble. God will use these times to teach us and guide us. On the other hand, Satan will capitalize on them to defeat us. But God is greater than our most stubborn obstacles. We can trust him regardless of the situation.

Have No Fear (2 Timothy 1:6-7)

The spread of the coronavirus is generating a lot of fear. Others claim that it is just a huge conspiracy. How should Christians respond? For that matter, how should we respond in any crisis? God has equipped believers to handle anything that comes our way.

Living in Faith (Luke 18:1-8)

God desires His people to live in faith. We can expect trials and troubles. Sometimes doubts creep in. But God’s Word is true. His promises can be trusted. Jesus will return. Therefore we should live each day in that assurance.

Full Assurance (Hebrews 10:19-25)

Ryan Joseph describes the powerful connection between having full assurance of salvation and being on mission for Christ. Those who trust Jesus as the Lord and Savior have access to His holiness and hope for the future. We can draw near to Him without fear of rejection or condemnation. The boldness with which we can approach Jesus should translate into boldness in telling others about Him.

God’s Got This! (Exodus 3:12)

When Moses encountered God at the burning bush his life changed. God had a mission for Moses: he was to lead the children of Israel out of captivity and to the Promised Land. Moses’ initial response was that he was not up to the task. God’s response is the basis for this sermon. He gave Moses two assurances which we can also count on as we serve our Lord. First, God will always be with us. He will never leave…
