  • A Lesson in Humility

    A Lesson in Humility
    Jan 18 2026
    Most of us struggle with one of two extremes: thinking too highly of ourselves or too lowly of ourselves. Scripture calls us to something better: an accurate, God-centered understanding of who we are. In Numbers 12, God teaches a painful but necessary lesson in humility when Miriam and Aaron criticize Moses. God confronts their arrogance directly, defends His servant, and Miriam is struck with leprosy. Yet even in discipline, God shows mercy. Aaron confesses their sin, and Moses responds with humility and compassion by interceding for Miriam. This sermon also connects the lesson to 1 Peter, showing how believers should respond when they are criticized for serving Christ: Serve with the strength God supplies (1 Peter 4:10–11) Don’t be surprised by trials or insults—if you are reviled for Christ, you are blessed (1 Peter 4:12–14) Humble yourself under God’s mighty hand, and He will exalt you at the proper time (1 Peter 5:6) If you’re facing criticism—especially from people close to you—this message will help you keep your eyes on God, walk in humility, and trust the Lord to deal with His servants in His way and timing. Sermon Notes Numbers 12:1 & 2 Moses’ relationship with the Lord criticized due to his second marriage Numbers 12:3 Moses is a humble man Numbers 12:4 – 8 God tells Aaron and Miriam His relationship with Moses is different and they should have been afraid to speak against him Numbers 12:9 & 10 God was angry with them and struck Miriam with leprosy Numbers 12:11 & 12 Aaron confesses their sin to Moses Numbers 12:13 Moses intercedes for Miriam Numbers 12:14 & 15 The Lord’s response is that she must bear her shame for 7 days 1 Peter 4:10 – 14 If you are reviled for Christ you are blessed 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourself before God and He will exalt you

  • Slavery for Cucumbers

    Slavery for Cucumbers
    Jan 11 2026
    After generations of slavery, God delivered Israel from Egypt with undeniable power. Yet shortly after gaining freedom, the people began to complain and even longed to return to slavery for the comfort of familiar food. Israel’s complaints about manna are met with a merciful response from God. God delivers His people. • Israel’s willingness to exchange freedom for comfort • How complaining reveals misplaced trust • God’s provision of manna and meat—and the consequences of rejecting it • Moses’ burden and God’s merciful provision of help • The danger of assuming God’s power is limited • The connection between Israel’s wilderness struggle and Christian freedom today • Why believers are warned not to return to a yoke of slavery Sermon Notes Numbers 11:1 The people complain of adversity and the Lord consumed some of them with fire Numbers 11:2 & 3 Moses prayed and the fire stopped Numbers 11:4 – 6 People complained that in Egypt they could eat fish, cucumbers and other things Numbers 11:7 – 9 Manna described and how it was harvested Numbers 11:10 – 15 Moses wants to die because of the people and the burden he is carrying Numbers11:16 & 17 To lift the burden God initiates the Sanhedrin Numbers 11:18 – 20 The Lord says that the people are to consecrate themselves and they will be given meat to eat Numbers11:21 & 22 Moses doubts God’s power Numbers 11:23 The Lord says “Is His power limited?” Numbers 11:24 – 30 God places His Spirit upon the elders Numbers 11:31 –33 The Lord gives them meat, but while they are chewing it the Lord struck them with a plague Galatians 5:1 Christ set us free, do not becomes slaves again

  • God’s Will for You

    God’s Will for You
    Jan 4 2026
    People search for answers in books, advice, and personal experiences to discover God’s purpose for their lives. But Scripture is clear: God has already revealed His will. God’s will is not guesswork. The Scriptures show that His will is expressed in how we live, who we become, what we value, and how we respond to Him. God’s will is not hidden, complicated, or reserved for a select few. It is clear, practical, and available to every believer. The real question is not whether we know God’s will, but whether we are willing to do it. This teaching covers: • What Scripture explicitly says is God’s will • Why holiness and sanctification matter • Living with joy regardless of circumstances • Praying continually as ongoing relationship, not ritual • Giving thanks even in hardship • Why God cares more about who you are than what you do • Faithfulness in small things as preparation for greater responsibility Sermon Notes 1 Thessalonians 4:3 – 8 Your body sanctified 1 Thessalonians 5:16 – 18 Rejoice, pray & give thanks Matthew 6:9 –13 Pray that His will be done here Romans 12:1 & 2 Prove God’s will by presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice, not being conformed to this world and renew our minds Psalm 40:8 Delight in doing God’s will

  • When Why Is Not Sufficient

    When Why Is Not Sufficient
    Dec 28 2025
    When evil happens, one of the first questions we ask is why. Scripture provides reasons, prophecies, and context. But rarely the kind of answers that bring immediate comfort. Even the celebration of Christmas includes the atrocity of Herod’s massacre of the children in Bethlehem. Advent is not only about peace and joy; it is also about a Savior entering a broken and hostile world. We are called to trust God’s sovereignty, even when we do not understand His ways, and to look beyond present suffering to eternal glory. Sermon Notes • Why evil followed immediately after the birth of Jesus • Herod’s actions and the slaughter of the innocent • God’s foreknowledge and prophetic fulfillment • Why asking “why” often brings no comfort • God’s response to suffering in the book of Job • How God remains in control even when evil seems to win • The hope of eternity for those who suffer for God’s purposes • Whether believers are willing to trust God—even in suffering Matthew 2:13 – 15 An angel warns Joseph about Herod and tells him to take Jesus to Egypt Matthew 2:16 Herod having been tricked by the Magi had all the male children 2 and under killed Matthew 2:17 & 18 Jeremiah’s prophesy was fulfilled, but there was no comfort Job 38:1 – 4 Where were you when God created Job 40:1 – 9 Are you going to annul God’s judgments Romans 8:28 God causes all things to become good for those who love Him and are called by Him Revelation 7:9 – 17 Great Tribulation martyrs Revelation 22:20 Even so, Come Jesus

    For All the People
    Dec 21 2025
    the Scripture reveal that the birth of Christ was announced as good news for all people, regardless of status, background, ethnicity, or past. Jesus did not come for a select group. He came for the world. His invitation is open to all, and the path is clearly revealed. Sermon Notes Luke 2:4 – 20 Good news for everyone, a Savior has been born Romans 1:16 &17 Salvation for everyone who believes Romans 10:8 - 13 Whoever calls upon the Lord will be saved

  • Your Purpose

    Your Purpose
    Dec 14 2025
    What is your purpose? Culture, self-help books, and institutions promise to help you find your purpose, but the Bible tells us something very different. The Scripture explains what your purpose truly is and why it applies to every person, at every stage of life, in every circumstance. Our purpose is not self-fulfillment or personal greatness, but the glory of God. God’s plan has always been about displaying His grace, mercy, and power through people who often don’t deserve it. Sermon Notes Ephesians 1:3 –14 To the praise of His glory Ephesians 2:4 –10 In the ages to come He might share the surpassing riches of His grace Romans 9:9 – 18 God’s purpose in Esau, Jacob and Pharaoh Isaiah 45:23 Every knee will bow and eve3ry tongue confess allegiance Philippians 2:9 – 11 Every knee will bow and every tongue confess Jesus as Lord to the glory of God the Father

  • Jesus Isn’t There

    Jesus Isn’t There
    Dec 7 2025
    The event that confirms Jesus is exactly who He claimed to be: the Messiah, the Son of God. After His burial, the women came to the tomb expecting decay, but the Scriptures had already declared that the Holy One would not see corruption. Instead, they found the stone rolled away, an empty tomb, and an angel announcing the truth: “He has risen; He is not here.” Sermon Notes Mark 16:1 – 4 Women go to the tomb with spices to prepare Jesus’ body and wondering how they will get the stone rolled away from the tomb Mark 16:5 & 6 They enter the tomb and see a young man wearing a white robe (an angel) who tells them Jesus who had been crucified is risen and He is not here Mark 16:7 Angel tells them to tell Jesus’ disciples and Peter Jesus will meet them in Galilee Mark 16:8 The women left afraid 1 Corinthians 15:3 – 11 Jesus died, buried and rose according to the Scriptures

  • Buried According to the Scriptures

    Buried According to the Scriptures
    Nov 30 2025
    A part of the gospel story that is often treated as a simple transition between the crucifixion and the resurrection. Scripture shows it is far more significant. The burial of Jesus fulfills prophecy, demonstrates God’s control over timing and events, and provides evidence that He is the promised Messiah. Sermon Notes Mark 15:42 Crucifixion happens on Day of Preparation before the Sabbath – that Sabbath was not Saturday Mark 15:43 Joseph of Arimathea gets enough courage to ask for the body of Jesus Mark 15:44 & 45 Making sure Jesus was dead, Pilate grants Joseph’s request Mark 15:46 Joseph bought a linen sheet, wrapped Jesus’ body in it and placed Him in a hewn out rock for a tomb and a stone was placed at the entrance Mark 15:47 Women observed where Jesus was buried so they could come back and properly bury Him Isaiah 53:9 Prophecy concerning the burial of the Messiah
