Prayer is God's prescription for life in a fallen world. Prayer is designed to remove our concerns before repairing our circumstances.

God's greatest treasures are often buried beneath our deepest sorrows. God offers His mercy as the rope to lift us out of our misery.
How should the Christian respond to injustices that he sees in the world in which he lives? Christians aren't called to "revolutionaries" that take up arms; rather, Christians are to be "redemptionaries" that lay down our lives.
Our fair isn't a finished product, but a work in progress. Just because we believe, doesn't mean that we've arrived, which means at least 3 things. Our faith needs work. We need God to work. We need to get to work.
The world needs to hear the faithful message of the gospel from faithful messengers. A faithful messenger Is someone who is bold, exhibits sacrificial love, is focused, and full of joy.
The world in which we live is both fallen and fractured. Trying to find meaning in this life is trying to quench your thirst drinking out of a cracked cup. You end up working twice as hard for half the results. In a fallen world, finding satisfaction is much like that. We conclude our study in Ecclesiastes by answering the question, how do we find a full life in a fractured world.
The key to living a full life is to stop worrying about what we can't control and to do the work that is in our control. Our duty is to work. God's duty is to manage the results. Ecclesiastes 11 gives us three steps to living a full life.
(1) Live in the moment but look to the future (2) Look but don't stare (3) Let mystery fuel your manpower
Your outlook on death affects your quality of life. If you ignore the fact that death is coming, you'll get blindsided by the inevitable and not make the most of the life you have. If you fixate on death, you'll end up neglecting the great gifts that God provides us in the present. Christianity gives us a better ways to view death and to live our lives. The resurrection of Jesus changes both the way we spend our lives and view our deaths, so that we truly live a full life.
The beauty of wisdom is that it can lift our spirits without having to change our situations. Living in frustrating time
Too often, the good die young and wicked live long. Too often, we're lindsided by the bad things that come our way after trying so hard to be good. Or bitter at the blessings that come other people's way who aren't trying to live good lives. This kind of injustice in life can leave us feeling off balanced. How do we find peace in the midst of life's paradoxes and live balanced lives in an imbalanced world? The Teacher in Ecclesiastes 7 answers this very question.
How we think of ourselves shapes how we live our lives. It's not a contradiction to refer to a community of sinners as saints. Understanding that this is what God says about our identity helps us to truly live out the new life given to us by Jesus.
The best way to face adversity is to prepare it in advance. We do this by realizing that the way to define what's "good" isn't to look to our feelings but our futures. Looking to the future sobers us and reminds us that the best way to face adversity isn't to focus on the adversity in front of us, but our Father, who has graciously (and wisely) allowed it.
When it comes to contentment, many of us treat money as if it's the main ingredient. Like air to a balloon, we think that the more money we have, the more our contentment will grow. The Bible seems to have a different view on the relationship between money and contentment. We've heard THAT the love of money is the root of all evil. Ecclesiastes 5 takes us a step further and shows us WHY. Once we see money for what it truly is, we can understand where true contentment lies.
Unity isn't always to be desired. Division isn't always to be avoided. What's more important than unity and division is the purpose of the unity or division. In 1 Corinthians 5 we learn that the purity of the church is the priority of God's church. To that end, there comes a time where the church must remove certain members to maintain this purity. Far from being judgmental and condemning to the straying member, when church discipline is done rightly it provides (1) hope for the straying and (2) joy for those that remain. God shows His incredible grace and wisdom in the way that He instructs us as a church to deal with sin in the life of the church. He doesn't want us to be ashamed, but assured of our salvation. To this end, church discipline is a gracious gift from a loving Father.
The church isn't just "like a family" but the church IS a family. Regardless of what your experience with family has been, we all can agree that there's no such thing as a perfect family. When it comes to God's family it's important that we know that we have a genuine responsibility towards one another. The book of Jude helps us understand what it means to be a part of God's family. It can be wrapped up in one word. Responsibility. Responsibility for one another as well as a responsibility to contend for our faith. Pastor Richard unpacks what that looks like for us as Christian's today.
Unity isn't a virtue or a vice. Unity is a vehicle. A means to an end. The most important aspect of unity is where it's headed. As Jesus prays for our unity, He has an end in mind. The salvation of the world.
Jesus protects His people, but not in the way that we tend to think of protection. We think of protection as removal from harm. God, however, displays His sufficiency, not in pulling us out of harms way, but preserving us in harm. Simply put, Jesus protects us in order that He might project us into the world to display His goodness. We are saved in order to be sent.
Jesus' prayers reveal Jesus' priorities. As He heads to the cross, He takes time out to pray for His disciples to remind them that God cherishes His people.
""What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it-the fact that he knows me. I am graven on the palms of his hands. I am never out of his mind. All my knowledge of him depends on his sustained initiative in knowing me. I know him because he first knew me, and continues to know me. He knows me as a friend, one who loves me; and there is no moment when his eye is off me, or his attention distracted from me, and no moment, therefore, when his care falters." - God cherishes His people.
A new year is a time that's filled with tons of activity. We have goals, hopes and aspirations for what we want to accomplish. As we approach a new year, it's more important that we draw near to listen to God to hear what He has to say to us rather than to draw near to lecture Him about what we want Him to do for us. As we look at Ecclesiastes chapter 5, we'll be encouraged to watch our step, weigh each word and ultimately wait on God.
The sweetest word in any language is someone's first name. Dignity and worth are instilled in them as they're recognized as someone unique. Names are special in this regard, but one other thing that makes names special are their meaning. Each name tells a story and Christmas is no different. When God refers to Jesus as our Immanuel, it's His way of providing us an invitation into His family. Jesus is God's standing invitation to join His family.
Leadership is one of God's greatest gifts to the church. The world in which we live has many different definitions of what it means to be a leader. The apostle Paul gives us a different take on what godly leadership looks like in the life of believers. Pastor Moe closes out our Pillars series by looking at (1) the strength of a leader (2) the work of a leader and (3) the life of a leader.
When God saved us, He didn't just take out of danger, He took us into His family. Because we are adopted we have God as Father and glory in our future.
Weakness isn't a curse, it's a gift from God that makes us humble, dependent, and ultimately strong. True strength comes through weakness.
You biggest fight in life is a fight against isolation, not imperfections. In Ecclesiastes 4, we're challenged to accept life's imperfections while fighting to avoid isolation.
God's promises of future judgment is meant to keep our hearts from being discouraged, it's not meant to keep our hands from getting dirty. God's promises free us from the anxiety that comes from worrying about the future. The fact that He has the future covered gives us the freedom to spend this one life we have to live well.
The key to finding joy in this life comes from realizing the limits that are placed on us. Life is meant to be managed, not manipulated. The sooner we understand that, the sooner we can enjoy our present life as a gift from God. Ecclesiastes 3 we see three truths that must be grasped in order for us to have present joy. You aren't in control. God has complete control. God has perfect control.
Everyone is a counselor, the issue is whether you'll be a good one or not. Christians have a responsibility to speak into situations with wisdom of God. The church grows to maturity as Christians embrace their responsibility to give advice, comfort, and correction.
If you fail to plan, you plan to pail. Sayings like that communicate the reality that looking to the future is the key to our success. And while that may be the case, the future is also the very thing that fuels our present anxiety. Anxiety can either cause you live for LATER (obsess over the future) or LOITER (ignore the future and just enjoy now).
The future may be the key to our earthly success, but as the writer of Ecclesiastes reflects on two future certainties that we can't escape (Our death and our descendants), he challenges our perspective on the future and how we live in the present. He shows us why putting our hope for meaning in merely securing a better future on earth makes for a terrible way to live in the present.
Everyone of us goes through life with a nagging sense that something's missing. There's a feeling of emptiness that leads to attempts on our part to fill the emptiness. For those of us that consider ourselves good and moral, it's easy to think that our biggest battle is to stay away from immoral pleasures in favor of immoral pleasures. However, the author of Ecclesiastes seems to think different. Innocent pleasures, don't always make for innocent pursuits. Sometimes our pursuit of very innocent things, can distract us from our true purpose of finding our true pleasure in God. We have to remember that we have an eternal palette that will swallow up every earthy pleasure and still leave you as an empty person. We were never meant to fill up on earthly pleasures but something more. God's gift to us is that earthly pleasures are only to serve as signposts towards the real pleasure--Himself!
Knowledge is power. It's a statement that we're all too familiar with. We know how powerful knowledge can be because we know the pain that ignorance can cause. We've all known the regret that comes along with the statement, "if only I knew then what I know now." Lack of knowledge about certain things seems to be the source of pain and loss in many of our lives. Knowledge, seems like something that would make our lives better.
Until we look at the book of Ecclesiastes. The Author of the book gives us interesting thoughts on knowledge. Knowledge may drive us to answers, but we often find that agony is sitting in the passenger seat. In a broken world, it seems like the more that you learn, the more you lament. Far from solving all of our problems, knowledge tends to create additional problems. How should we treat the pursuit of knowledge in a fallen world? Is there any place where this pursuit of knowledge won't ultimately let us down?
The garden of our ideal life is littered with disappointments. Nothing in the life that we have is disappointment proof--regardless of how hard we work to make it so. When it comes to the business of living, we find ourselves moving from asking "how do I accomplish my goals" to "why do I exist? what am I even working for?". As we start our series in Ecclesiastes we see that the author of the book found himself in the same place. His conclusion is a sobering one, but it's only the starting point.
When it comes to interacting with other people, our preferences can easily become our prejudices. It's easy to be drawn to people that are impressive and distance ourselves from people that are unimpressive. In James chapter 2, we are reminded that God doesn't play favorites and that is the best news that people like us could ever hear.
How Christ came into the world, reveals why Christ came into the world. His birth in a manger served as a megaphone to announce to the world the reason for His coming. And if we understand that, it will drastically change the way we look at the world around us.
In Jesus, we get the best picture of what God's intention was for creating humanity. Jesus shows what it truly means to be human.
As we continue our series in Romans 10 we're reminded that salvation is something that is never out of reach.
When it comes to religion, people often tend to think that sincere intentions are the only thing that matters. Our attempts to please God, if misdirected, could actually keep us from God Himself. As we look at Romans 10, we'll see that chasing righteousness on our own only ensures that we'll never find it. However, Jesus offers us a better solution and a better hope.
When we truly see as God sees, then we'll feel as God feels. As we finish our series in the book of Jonah, we see how God patiently provides his perspective to us--reminding us that He wants more than compliance from us, He desires to produce compassion in us.
The hope of Christ's return in the future, gives us great energy to be all about His work in the present.
All of us have received good advice in the past about ways that we can prevent trouble in our lives. The bad news is, when we fail to take that advice and find ourselves in present trouble we can often feel helpless and hopeless. What do you do when you've it rock bottom and you have no one to blame but yourself? If we look at the life of Jonah we see that even weak prayers offered to a willing Savior can actually accomplish something significant.
Some problems in life can be solved simply by ignoring them, they tend to just go away. Other problems simply get worse. When we find ourselves having problems with the way that God wants to run our lives, that's not a problem that we can just ignore. God won't be ignored and is bent on confronting us. Quite frankly, that's the best news that we could ever imagine. God shows the depth of His compassion by chasing people who don't deserve an ounce of it.
The fact that God speaks to us is a truth that has become all to familiar. This familiarity has caused that great truth to lose its force. We can get so preoccupied with a desire to hear from God that we forget that the most important thing isn't hearing from Him, but heeding HIs words. As we start a new series in the book of Jonah, we take some time to understand that how we treat God's word, reveals what it is that we really think of Him. Do we think He's a friend or foe?
The church is under attack, but not how you might think. When we think of the most dangerous pitfalls to the health of the church we usually think of external forces. However, there's an internal danger that threatens the effectiveness of every church. Simple neglect. Left unchecked it can cause major disunity. We look at Acts 6 to see how the church dealt with it and what our role is in maintaining unity.
In the world that we live in Christianity is often critiqued. Because of many bad examples, people tend to think of hypocrisy when talking about the church or the Christian faith. However, as we look at the life of Jesus we see that Christians should be marked first and foremost by a humble posture of service. Pastor Trip preaches from Philippians 2 and encourages us, based on Christ's example, to let go, get down, and to lift Jesus up.
What does God want from me? It's a question that shapes everything about our lives, but we'll never get to a meaningful answer if we start with trying to find out what actions God wants. Before we can give God what He wants, we have to know who God is. Service doesn't start with what you do, but who you worship.
There is a god-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man, and only God can fill it. The world that we live in all addresses this gap and attempts to fill it with things that fall very short of providing us with contentment. Our guest preacher William "Duce" Branch helps us see how God satisfies us completely in Christ.
Pastor Trip preaches on the importance of words in the life of the Christian. We're reminded that if we want to see the state of our hearts, the best way for us to do that is to look carefully at our words.
Pastor Trip preaches on the importance of music in the life of the Christian. When it comes to engaging with God, to ignore music is to accept unfaithfulness.
Pastor Trip preaches about what work should look like in the everyday lives of God people. The most important thing about our work isn't the particular type of work that we do, but our posture towards the work that we do.
Based on our past experiences with faith, frustrating times and failure, all of us have to come form certain conclusions about life. It's easy to come to expect certain things from the lives that we live. But if Jesus really did raise from the dead, then nothing about life as we knew it has to stay the same. We finish our Mark series by looking at how the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus changes life as we know it.
Jesus' words in Mark 13 to his disciples offer a great reminder for those of us that find ourselves either distracted by the impressive things of this life, or distressed by the depressing things we experience. We are best equipped to live in the here and now, not by looking to these things, but by looking forward. Jesus helps us see that we shouldn't put our trust in what's temporary, nor should we tremble in the face of trouble; rather, we should turn our eyes to Jesus and stay tuned for His return.
Being right about God isn't the same thing as being right with God. In Mark 12, Jesus helps someone who agrees with Him understand that He's looking for more than just right actions.
What good does your spiritual resume do when you stand before God? The bad news is that whatever you have falls short. The good news is, that Jesus can give you His.
As Jesus nears his death, he looks at two groups of people who are involved in religious practices. While outwardly both groups seem to be doing good, Jesus looks deeper and condemns one group while commends the other. What's the difference? Pastor Richard explains as he preaches from Mark 12.
How does the life to come shape the life you presently control? The hope of the resurrection is meant to provide more relief than just at funerals or in personal evangelism. The hope of the resurrection is supposed to provide very relevant hope for our daily lives.
How do we as Christians navigate the racial and political tensions that exist in our world, our nation, our homes and even our church. As we constantly find ourself facing situations where it feels like every choice we make has the potential to be the wrong one? In Mark 12:13-17 we see Jesus facing a similar problem and with 13 words, He turns our world upside down. "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's and render to God what is God's"
Pastor Trip preaches from 1 John 3:16-18 about the authenticating signs of love. Real love shows up in our actions.
When the reality of death hits us close to home we instinctively go searching for a real sense of peace. Death has a way of showing us how inadequate our past search for peace has been. In Psalms 23 we see where David (a man who has felt what it means to walk through the valley of the shadow of death) has found a true peace for real pain.
It's no secret that as humans we all want something. But what may be less apparent, is that at the end of the day, we really all want the same thing. That thing. The ability to "not want"--in other words we all want contentment. Is there a way to really find true contentment in this life amidst all of our other wants? If we're ever going to true rest it's not going to be as a result of our work, but God's.
The most repeated command in the Bible to us is to "Fear not". We all know that just because something is repeated, it doesn't necessarily make it any more real for us. God, offers us two reasons why we shouldn't fear. His presence and His provision. What knowing God means is that we don't have to know fear.
We tend to live our lives for the avoidance of pain. Because we think that suffering tends to stand in the way of our joy we find ourselves constantly longing for things that will make our lives easier and more enjoyable. While this pathway seems like the one that will lead us to joy, Jesus walks a different path. He shows us that suffering doesn't stand in the way of our joy, it is the actual pathway to joy.
Jesus isn't looking for arguments for your worthiness, He's looking for your admission of weakness.
We've all had cases of mistaken identity before. Usually, the outcome is either embarrassment or inconvenience. With Jesus, however, a case mistaken identity can be tragic. Jesus is more than a man, He is your Savior and goes to great lengths to help us see this life-changing truth.
Jesus' miracles aren't merely acts of power, but signs that highlight aspects of His character. Jesus heals a blind man in Mark 8 to show us that even though God opens blind eyes completely, He does so gradually. Jesus is a patient Savior, and that's good news for those of us who are never as far along as we think we are.
God not only sees our fatigue and hardship but he can identify with it and he responds to it with grace and mercy. The main idea of this text is providing Christians with at least 3 reasons why we can endure the race of faith till the end.
Jesus offers much more than just a remedy for our problems, He offers us a relationship. While that's great news for the man in Mark 7 that can't hear, it's better news to those of who won't listen.
Religion (as a system of trying to gain peace with God by our works) looks like it protects the truth, but it only really perverts it. It doesn't fix old problems, it merely creates new ones. This happens because religion addresses the symptoms of our problems instead of the source. In Mark 7, we see that Jesus cleans up what religious systems can only call out.
Sometimes it can seem that our expectations fall way short of our theology. We say with our lips that we serve a great God, but find that we have very small expectations. Jesus reminds us that when we approach God we should approach Him with expectant hearts. And expectant hearts witness extraordinary power.
Every story we've every interacted with is made up of a struggle between good and evil. Often, we're left in suspense, not knowing who's going win. It's easy for us to look at Jesus the same way, we look at other good guys in stories. In so doing, we miss out on the fact that he is not like other characters. He's the Lord of all. There is no struggle when he faces storms, demons, or sickness. We can go to him knowing that victory is only and always found in Him.
“Do you listen to Jesus?” In answering this question we shouldn’t be so quick to utter a yes, nor should we be too quick to dismiss it. Rather, we all should ask god to search our hearts for the true answer. In todays text Jesus will make it crystal clear that His word sorts people out into two categories, disciples or opponents. He also provides the pathway for our true joy if we would just listen closely.
What does it mean to be close to Jesus? Sometimes being content with being around Jesus can actually be our biggest obstacle to being with Him.
Every relationship has conflict, and our relationship with Jesus is no different. He sees our hearts the way they are, exposes them so that we see the same things, ultimately so that He can heal them.
