Richard starts a new series that will walk us through the Sermon on the Mount. This week we start with a series of paradoxes, better known as The Beatitudes, in Matthew 5:1-12. We look at how we, as believers, are blessed (or happy) even though the situations don’t naturally lean to being in that state […]
Richard is wrapping up the Deserted series in Numbers 13-14. We look at the time when the spies went into the Promised Land and provide a report of what they saw. Caleb reported that they could go in and conquer the inhabitants, but the remaining spies were convinced they couldn’t do it. As a result […]
This week we are in Exodus 32 looking the all-familiar story of the Golden Calf. Moses has been on Mt. Sinai for a while and the Israelites are not patient enough to wait for his return and make an idol to worship. When Moses returns, he takes punishes the Israelites and even makes a plea […]
We are in Exodus 18 this week looking at the lesson that Moses learns from his Father-in-Law. Moses sits as the judge over all Israel trying to handle all of their issues alone, and he recieves advice to appoint others to handle the smaller issues and to only handle the larger issues that they cannot […]
Have you ever done something purely out of familiarity, even though you were told differently? We are habitual people, and Moses did the same thing when the Israelites were thirsty. In Exodus 17, Moses is instructed to strike the rock to bring forth water for the Israelites to drink. In Numbers 20, Moses is instructed […]
This week we see the Israelites in the wilderness for the first time. At the beginning of Exodus 15, they are singing a praise song to the Lord for all he has just done for them; however, we see them start to grumble and complain for water three days after walking through the Red Sea […]
This week we take a look at the Israelites as they flee Egypt and cross the Red Sea. We see that we can easily forget what all God has done for us when we get in a tough situation, but Moses tells the Israelites to just be quiet/still/at peace. Right after the Israelites are told […]
Richard starts a new series where we will be looking at the Israelites as they are led by Moses from Egypt to the Promised Land and seeing how we can apply their lessons to Christians today. This week we look at the qualifications of Moses and God’s intentions. God can, and will, use anyone for […]
This week Richard presents the message as Peter and tells the story of the crucifixion through his renewal, and partly into Acts. We talk about his denial of Christ, his renewal, and what God was able to do through Peter despite his past. If God can work through all of that, imagine what He can […]
This week Richard covers a lot of ground starting with Palm Sunday and going all the way through to the Crucifixion. In this series of events, we focus on the darkness that surrounds the time in the Garden of Gethsemane and the subsequent arrest. From the time of the prayer to the time of the […]
