Philippians 2020

Chapel Service: Philippians 4:1-9

July 22, 2020

We stand firm in the Lord by realizing that God is in control and He will take care of us. Our confidence needs to be in the Lord alone. While we are living this life, we need to cast off anything that does not follow God's plan. The Bible does not say, do not feel anxious, it says, do not be anxious. Likewise, the Bible does not say, do not feel fear, it says, do not be afraid. We can always find a reason to rejoice. If people imitate us, what will they be doing? We need to imitate the good things that we see others doing.

Chapel Service: New Life

June 19, 2020

When we don't serve the God who is God, we are free to be our own authority, our own god. Once we know where we will spend forever, then we can know how to live now. Before we know Jesus we feel like we need the things of this world to feel successful. When we know Jesus we know we don't need anything else. We must seek first the Kingdom of God and everything we need we be given to us. God knows how to speak our language. God loves us!

Topical 2020

Chapel Service: 2 Kings 6:8-23

June 12, 2020

Unseen realities are throughout the old and new testaments. There are unseen forces that are very real and powerful. They are at war with the people of God. Even so, their doom is sure, and one day they will be defeated forever. God is greater than any person, and God is still on the throne. There is nothing that God does not know about, He knows our motives, and He knows the future. Sin is insanity. God is the Creator of life. If we are trusting in God, we do not need to be afraid. God may not do what we want, but he always does what is best. We all were by nature enemies of God. He has chosen to love and bless us, His enemies. There is so much going on that we cannot see. We need to love, trust, and obey God.

Study of Genesis 2018

Chapel Service: Undeserved

May 30, 2018

Abraham believed God, Isaac was submitted to his father, and Jacob was a deciver. Yet God identifies HImself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. All people everywhere have sinned and yet God choses to save. In moments of adversity people are willing to become slaves to get things from the government. God works for His people's good and His glory, in prosperity or suffering. God cares about His creation and no person has a right to discriminate against another person due to thier genetic makeup. However, not everyone is created excatly alike. Repentant faith is a gift from God.

Study of Genesis 2018

Chapel Service: Jacob and Esau

March 19, 2018

In the midst of our lives, we may be tempted to think that this is all there is. However, we will all live somewhere forever. All the things we read about in the lives of the people in the passage are in the past and everything we do here will be in the past as well one day. Everything in scripture points out that Jesus is the promised One whom God chose to save us from our sins. There is no substitute for the blessings of God. We need to seek the Lord to do His will instead of doing our will and asking God to bless it. God declares what will be as if it already is. God chooses people not based on ability but based on His sovereign grace. God deliberately chooses who we would not so that His grace shines forth. We should not be like Esau and give up our birth rights for pleasures of the moment. God saves sinners.
