Rest for David

As Christmas creeps closer, don’t fall for the lies of an empty “holiday celebration”.  Your God was sacrificed that you my be redeemed.  David’s sin would be paid for.  Your sin is paid for.  There is rest for David.  There is rest for you in Jesus.

Take A Load Off

“Take a load off,” is what I just told you.  What does that phrase mean to you?  Maybe, at least, sit down or take off your shoes.  There is a load that so many people carry around all the time.  It’s not a backpack full of books.  The heavy load is anxiety or depression.  Another heavy load can be a guilty conscience.  It’s important to not confuse or associate those two things.  People who struggle with anxiety and depression aren’t sinning.  The comfort that our God offers in the first few verses of Isaiah 40 are powerful medicine.

Unclean

A common misconception is that Christians don’t get depressed … or at least they shouldn’t get depressed. Saying depressions shouldn’t happen only serves to make God’s people – who already feel guilty and weak – even more guilty and weak. Christians do suffer from depression. The Lord has a message for you in your depression. The Lord removes your guilt. This Sunday marks the start of the Advent season, a time of preparation before our Christmas celebration.

Resurrection Proof

Christ the King is the one who is in charge of everything. This can be difficult to see at times because his kingdom is not of this world. Even though this is true, it doesn’t mean that he has no control. Jesus controls all things for the good of his church. One day he will end this world and, finally, every knee will bow before the King of Kings.

Sleep in Jesus

“Jerusalem the Golden – with milk and honey blessed!” Feeling weary and oppressed? Can we ever comprehend what joys await us beyond the pearly gates? This Sunday – Saints Triumphant Sunday – we take time to ponder all that is heaven. In our message we’ll find that death means you’re only asleep in Jesus.

Day of Destruction

Are you looking forward to the end of the world? That might not sound like a great way to start your week, but God’s take on the end of the world is a great source of comfort for the Christian. Do you see the injustice in the world? God does too! Do you see the crippling effects of sin in the world? Of course, God sees the suffering. We learn from Scripture that creation groans under the weight of sin. Come this Sunday to hear God’s rescue plan. Because when God ends the world, he will take us home to heaven.
