Finally back at it...

It's hard to believe that the last posts go back to the summertime, and I apologize for the delay. I haven't fixed all the problems with my laptop, but I did finally arrive at another recording solution, and as I start to use it more, I will hopefully be able to fine-tune the quality, as well as get the sermons back up in a more timely fashion.

There were a number of sermons in Genesis that simply were not recorded due to the technical issues we had, but of those that I do have, I will try to post some links to those soon. It looks as though our file host also fixed some problems with the way they assign links, so if anyone has any problems listening to or downloading the sermon, please let me know.

This most recent Sunday was simply a time to give praise and testify to God's goodness. My message was really more of a reflection on our recent addition to our family, and I hope I was able to express the gratefulness of new life!

When We Don't Want to Listen

Joseph's story is an amazing journey that leads through some difficult situations. We can easily make application to our lives today as we look at what he faced, and today's passage is no exception. The relationship that Joseph had with his brothers was not good, yet God had plans that included the rift that caused Joseph's brothers to sell him into slavery.

The ups and downs of Jacob

Jacob had his share of highs and lows, and today we surveyed several portions from his life as he travelled back to the land of his Fathers. Through it all, God watched over Jacob and directed his steps, through blessing and trials.

Catching Up Again

These last two weeks have been very interesting, with all the coverage of the fires, as well as numerous lesser stories that just seem to indicate the world is coming apart at the seams. This isn't a surprise to Christians, but often we overlook how God wants us to keep our hope fixed on Him through these trials. Genesis provides the framework for understanding how sin corrupted the world, and last week we continued through the life of Jacob. This week, I spoke about recent events and the perspective we need to have on what God is doing.

Father's Day

Wow! It's been a while since the last sermon post, and I apologize for that. Hopefully we'll be back to regularly scheduled programming now, and today's short sermon is for the fathers out there. We all need a kick in the pants from time to time, and we need to remember how serious our calling is.

Wisdom and Calling

After taking some vacation time last week, we are back at it again! This weeks sermon had a lot to do with another message I gave this last weekend. I had the honor of speaking at the Edison graduation ceremony, and my speech was about wisdom and calling. There have been a few that have asked about the message, so there is a link to download a copy of the text. Feel free to pass it on to others.

On Sunday morning, I spoke again about wisdom and calling, but more from the perspective of living those things out in our lives as Christians. Hopefully, the two sort of go together.

Graduation Message

Jacob on his own

As we move through Genesis, the narrative shifts it focus from Isaac to center more firmly on Jacob. In Genesis 28, Jacob finds himself essentially exiled from his family, and yet he is not alone.
