When Life Is the Pits (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
We see the sinfulness of Joseph’s brothers: they were brutal (vv. 18, 26), jealous (v. 11), hateful (vv. 4, 8), and murderous (v. 18). We must guard our own hearts against these same sins.
The Flesh Is Weak
Pastor Hamilton
Why did Peter fail? He did not practice humility (1 Pet 5:6). He did not pray in temptation (vv. 45–46). He did not stay close to Christ (v. 54). Why did Peter ultimately succeed? He was genuinely broken (vv. 61–62). Jesus interceded for him (v. 32). The Holy Spirit came upon him (Acts 2).
The Best Christmas Ever! (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
Following his humiliation, God exalted Jesus to a place of honor. He must be honored as Lord of all!
Remembering the Rock (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
God is altogether faithful (vv. 1–14), but he is also completely aware of our failings (vv. 15–18).
Remembering the Rock (part 1)
Pastor Hamilton
In this song of Moses, he reminds Israel that God is altogether faithful (vv. 1–14). He calls character witnesses (vv. 1–5), and then witnesses himself to God’s character (vv. 6–14).
Good Start—Bad Finish (part 3)
Pastor Hamilton
After a faithful and godly beginning, Asa’s reign finished poorly. He responded badly to a threatening situation (vv. 1–6), a prophet who confronted his sin (vv. 7–10), and to a punishing disease (vv. 11–14).
Good Start—Bad Finish (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
The beginning of King Asa’s rule was marked by his seeking the Lord (2 Chron 14:2, 4,7; 15:15) and relying on the Lord (2 Chron 14:7, 11). He set his heart against idol worship (2 Chron 14:3–5), but set his heart on true worship (2 Chron 15:8–15).
Fellowshipping with Christ’s Suffering
Tim O'Brien
Do you know Jesus Christ? How well do you know him? Paul says that we can know him through the power of his resurrection and sharing in his suffering.
