The Lord Our Heritage

In this week’s sermon Hank Kampen, a pastor at Grace Bible Church, explores the message of Psalm 16.

Faith Which Overcomes Death

After spending three weeks considering the faith of Abraham, this Lord’s Day we will examine the faith of the three patriarchs who followed Abraham.

Why is so much less written about each of these men? Why does our author choose these particular events from the lives of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph? What do these men share in common? Is it harder to be a second (or third or fourth) generation Christian?

The Death and Resurrection of the Son of Promise

This Lord’s Day we will consider one of the most moving events in all of Scriptural history, as God asks Abraham to sacrifice his only beloved son, Isaac. What kind of faith would make a man willing to do such a thing? Is there anything you would not give to God? Are you now experiencing a great trial of faith?

The Miraculous Birth of the Promised Son

This week we will consider how by faith, Isaac was born to a father and mother who were 100 and 90 years old.

The birth of Isaac is a picture of the miraculous birth of Christ. His birth is also a picture of our miraculous new birth by God’s sovereign power. With God nothing is impossible!

Does this mean that we can ask God for whatever we want whenever we want it? How should we exercise our faith?

The Victory of God’s Anointed King

I will be preaching from Psalm 2, which declares the victory of God’s anointed King over those who rebel against Him.
Though the world is in turmoil because of its rebellion against God, He Who sits in heaven is not disturbed. He has established His Anointed One to rule over the earth.
Those who rebel will be crushed which is why all people should submit to God’s Anointed Son while there is time.

As you read the Psalm think of how it speaks of David, how it speaks of Jesus, and how it speaks of our situation.

Radical Grace for Rebellious People

No one likes to hear bad news, but often through it good can come. The same is true for the people of Judah. Their condition was far worse than they imagined, yet the Lord was willing to show them incredible grace. As we look at this passage tomorrow, we will be made aware of the sins that lie deep within our hearts, and be encouraged by God’s gracious work to remedy the situation through faith in Christ.

Please read Isaiah 1 before you come to service tomorrow.
