How should Christians respond to wickedness in the world? https://youtu.be/2OJUIM9YRwA

- Leviticus 19:33-34
- What does the Bible say about borders and immigration?
- Tribalism: organized around ethnicity. Protect your own. Fear the outsider.
- Nationalism: organized around borders, shared values and morals, and laws.
- “E Pluribus Unum” = “out of many, one”

- Leviticus 19:33-34

- What does the Bible have to say about national borders?
- Acts 17:26
- Numbers 34:1-2

- God can redeem any situation
- Spiritual family
- Example: Jesus and his disciples
- Mark 3:31-35

- Envy makes false assumptions about yourself, others, and God.

- “God’s plans are mixed up, His choices are uninformed, and his goodness needs to be redistributed.”
- Envy chokes you out of a godly life
- “Envy reverses the biblical ordering - ‘rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep’ (Rom 12:15), to , ‘weep at those who rejoice and rejoice over those who weep.’” Joe Rigney

- Mark 3:11
- Mark 5:2, 7
- Just because a true thing is being said doesn’t mean a pure thing is being done.

SERMON NOTES:
- Mark 12:30
- Childlike, Not Childish
- Hebrews 11:6 “without faith it is impossible to please God.”
- Mathew 18:1-4
- Luke 18:17
- The kingdom of God is not built on achievement—it’s received through astonishment.
- 1. ChildLIKE Faith is full of Wonder and Awe, it’s not unresponsive and apathetic.
- Exodus 15:11
- Hebrews 12:28-29
- Psalm 139:14
- Self Reflection: Have I lost my sense of Wonder and Awe?
- 2. ChildLIKE Faith is full of Faith and Trust, not disbelief and suspicion.
- Hebrews 11:1
- Hebrews 11:6
- Currency of heaven
- Matthew 9:29
- Matthew 15:28
- Mark 11:22-24
- Matthew 9:22
- “…because the more you understand of the character of God, the more utterly inconsistent with rational thought it would be that God would ever deceive you, because His track record is perfectly consistent.” —R.C. Sproul
- Self Reflection: Where can I trust God more and have greater faith?
- 3: ChildLIKE Faith is full of Humility and Gratitude, not selfishness and entitlement.
- “When we have conquered ourselves, we have conquered all” —Charles Spurgeon
- Because self-love turns everything inward.
But biblical love is outward.
- 1 Corinthians 13:5
- Luke 18:9–14
- James 4:6
- Matthew 23:12
- Proverbs 16:18
- Childlike faith is not childish faith. Being ChildLIKE resonates with and embraces the neediness, dependency, and smallness of those who understand their place in the kingdom of God. ChildISH simply put, is one who refuses to grow up and thinks everything is about THEM.
- Self Reflection: What areas of my life have I become selfish and entitled?

Pastor Casey's previous message at Oasis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUlUW09BSNU
SERMON NOTES:
- Genesis 24
- The Divine Pursuit
- This is the story of how God Pursues YOU.
Abraham → God the Father
Isaac → God the Son
Rebekah → The Church, the Bride
The Servant → The Holy Spirit, sent to call, invite, draw, and bring home the Bride.- 1 Corinthians 15:26
- THE FATHER DESIRES A BRIDE FOR HIS SON Genesis 24:1–9
- 1) Abraham Sends His Servant
“No one can come to me unless the Father draws him.” — John 6:44
- 2) The Servant Has One Mission
Bring the Bride to the Son.
“He will glorify Me.” — John 16:14
- THE SPIRIT WORKS TO REVEAL THE BRIDE - Genesis 24:10–61
- R.C. Sproul: “The work of salvation is not a negotiation between God and man; it is a sovereign initiative of divine grace.”
- Charles Spurgeon: “Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.”
- THE SERVANT SPEAKS OF THE SON (v. 22–49)
- “He will not speak of himself… He will glorify me.” (John 16:13–14)
- If a “spiritual experience” does not lead you to love Jesus more — It was not the Holy Spirit.
- THE BRIDE SAYS YES (v. 50–61)
Just as we love Jesus, whom we have not yet seen (1 Peter 1:8).
Faith is not merely believing in God.
Faith is leaving everything to belong to Him.
- THE BRIDE MEETS THE SON (v. 62–67)
A love story where God gets His Bride.

SERMON NOTES:
- Colossians 2:6-8
- 1 Chronicles 12:32
- Understanding the Times
- Wise: rejoices in and embraces the truth
Foolish: ignorant of or ignores the truth
Wicked: hates and attacks the truth
- Encourage, spur-on, and feed the wise
Correct, teach, and guide the fool
Drive out the wicked
- John 10:11-13
- Positive World (pre-1994): Society at large retains a mostly positive view of Christianity. To be known as a good, churchgoing man remains part of being an upstanding citizen. Publicly being a Christian is a status-enhancer. Christian moral norms are the basis moral norms of society and violating them can bring negative consequences.
- Neutral World (1994-2014): Society takes a neutral stance towards Christianity. Christianity no longer has privileged status but is not disfavored. Being publicly known as a Christian has neither a positive nor a negative impact on one’s social status. Christianity is a valid option within a pluralistic public square. Christian moral norms retain some residual effect.
- Negative World (2014-Present): Society has come to have a negative view of Christianity. Begin known as a Christian is a social negative, particularly in the elite domains of society. Christian morality is expressively repudiated and seen as a threat to the public good and the new public moral order. Subscribing to Christian moral views or violating the secular moral order beings negative consequences.

SERMON NOTES:
God's Intervention During Spiritual Regression
- Genesis 20:1-18 (NIV)
- Verse 1 - Abraham's Departure
- Genesis 19:27-29 (NIV)
- Direction toward Egypt = symbolic of regression or spiritual drifting
- Verse 2 - The Repeated Lie
- Genesis 18:14 (NIV)
- Verse 3-7 - Abimelek's Dream
- Verse 8-10 - Abimelek Confronts Abraham
- Verse 11-13 - Abraham's Excuses
- How we excuse our own sin:
1. Compare our righteousness to others
2. Try to justify with half-truths
3. Blame God or others for our own actions
- Verse 14-17 - Restoration
- Ephesians 2:4-5 (ESV)
- Titus 2:11-14 (NIV)
- 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 (NIV)

- Sat at city gate, civic leadership (Genesis 19:1-2)
- Psalm 1:1-6
- Compromised Christianity wants to benefit from ungodly Sodom.
- 1 Corinthians 9:22-23
- There is a difference between taking the gospel to a wicked place and entering into the wicked aspects of its life.

OUR NEW VISION STATEMENT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0WFhtL7h3I
SERMON NOTES:
- Persistent Prayer
- Luke 18:1-8 (NIV)
- 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NIV)
- Romans 12:12 (NIV)
- Matthew 7:7 (NIV)
- Ephesians 6:18 (NIV)
- Colossians 4:2 (NIV)
- Verse 1 - The Why
- Why do we lose heart in prayer?
1. Prayer is hard work.
2. We are directed away from genuine prayer.
3. We are not always convinced of the reality of the power of prayer.
- Verse 2 and 3 - The Characters
- The Judge
Unjust
No fear of God
No regard for people
- The widow:
Powerless
Persistent
Bold
- Verse 4 and 5 - The Appeal
- Persistence in prayer reflects faith, not frustration.
- “How many times we ask of God and have not because we do not wait long enough at the door? We knock a time or two at the gate of Mercy and as no friendly messenger opens the door, we go our ways. Too many prayers are like boys’ runaway knocks—given and then the giver is away before the door can be opened.” (Spurgeon)
- Verse 6 and 7 - The Contrast
- God:
Attentive
Powerful
Just
- Jesus uses the formula of “How Much More”.
- Verse 8 - The Warning
- Jesus ties persistence in prayer to genuine faith.
- When we persist in prayer we become petitioners of righteousness, not merely shoppers of blessings.

"Biblically-Informed Politics"
- Matthew 5:15-16
Pastor Nate Clarke
October 13, 2024
SERMON NOTES:
- “We are now called upon to exercise one of the privileges and duties which go with liberty, let no man be neglectful of it. Every God fearing man should give his vote with as much devotion as he prays.” Charles Spurgeon
- Well intended, yet misguided Christian thinking
- “I’m a citizen of heaven, not of this world.”
- Philippians 3:20
- “I’m primarily and eternally a citizen of heaven and I’ve been given dominion and responsibility from God while I’m on earth.”
- “I’m just going to love God and love people and not get involved in this.”
- “I serve God and serve people when I’m engaged in the well being of my nation and community.”
- Jeremiah 29:7 ESV
- “I’m not getting involved because all the options are flawed.”
- Matthew 5:13
- God has always used flawed people in anything He has done. We are looking for someone who will most slow the decay.
- “I’m voting based on the persona / personality of a candidate.”
- People come and go. Policies last and share the world we live in.
- Policies > Person
- You are casting a vote, not sending a valentine :)
- “I don’t want to push my beliefs/morals on others.”
- All legislation is an enforcement of morality. It’s just a matter of whose morality.
- When Godly people don’t lead, godless people do.
- Matthew 5:15-16
- “The Candle” Charles Spurgeon April 24, 1881

Regeneration when you are saved and receive Christ’s righteousness!

Glorification when you are made complete in Christ in heaven. - 1 John 6:6–7 - 1 John 3:10 - 1 Timothy 6:11 3. The Breastplate symbolizes consistent righteousness - Ephesians 6:14 4.

"Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones…"
James 3:1-12
Guest Pastor Jon Alexis
May 26, 2024
New Sermon Series starting this June at Oasis Church:
ITCHING EARS
From 2 Timothy 4:3
"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
SERMON NOTES:
- James 3
1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. (Why bother? Bring it to rest, like a pet)
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
- Sticks and stones may break my bones…
- We are very intentional about language outside of our home
-at work, at school, at church
-our homes get the uncensored version of us
- Matthew 12
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
- Internal communication
- Philippians 4
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned[e] and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
- Critical Communication
- Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
- Colossians 3:8
But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

The Best Gift Ever
Gus Agostino
December 10, 2023
SERMON NOTES:
2 goals
1. If you have not received this gift, DON’T MISS IT!
2. If you already have received this gift I hope you will better appreciate it and fully experience it as you are reminded of how great it is.
What makes a gift great?
● The value of a gift is not so much determined by the cost of the gift but by the thoughtfulness and sacrifice of the giver.
● The more personal thought and attention also adds to the value of that gift.
● A true gift is always given without any expectation.
● One of the best things about a gift is the anticipation of a gift.
The Gift of God was ordered before time began!
● 2 Timothy 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,
● 1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
The Gift was shipped from heaven to earth when Jesus was found in the womb of Mary! (Matthew 1:18-21)
Why did he come?
● To save us from ourselves (John 3:16-18)
Jesus was not a creation of God, He is God in flesh
● JOHN 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
The gift is tracked in the life of Christ!
Jesus meet Moses “The Law” He was born under the law to fulfill the law (Luke 2:21-24)
● Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them”
● Galations 4:4-5 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
Jesus meets Simeon (Luke 2:25-35)
Jesus meets Anna (Luke 2:36-38)
● 36 There was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.[e] She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
Philippians 1:6
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Psalm 139:7–12
Pastor David Crabtree
December 03, 2023
Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night" even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.
God is working… in the dark… when you cannot see Him… hear Him… feel Him! He was working… long before you knew Him. He didn’t need something from you to love you… He has worked from before your conception to bring you to Himself… even in the dark!

- How to read the Bible:
- Contextually: Who wrote it? Who did they write it to? When did they write it? Why did they write it?
- Bad question to ask: What does this scripture mean to me?
- Good question to ask: What does this scripture mean?
- Biblical Christian: filters culture through God’s Word = Kingdom culture
- Cultural “Christian”: filters God’s Word through culture = a Christ-less “Christianity”
