“Step Forward in Faith” – Exodus 14:15-18

July 27, 2021/0 Comments/in Sermons /by Carol Roskam

We continue our summer sermon series, “Red Sea Rules” with rule number six; “Step Forward in Faith” from Exodus 14:15. Moses was crying out to God for help even after God had said for Israel to be silent. Moses couldn’t see the end goal, he couldn’t see the result of God’s will, he couldn’t see the future and he was confused. Moses wanted clarity and to see God’s plan before he took the next step. But God tells him to stop crying out and to get moving. Oh, that we could see God’s plan for our lives. But God simply wants us to trust Him for the future as He reveals it. Join us this Sunday as we learn to simply step forward in faith one step at a time.

DOUBT: We will we ponder some questions perhaps you have had or others around you have been wondering. What does doubt look like amidst faith? Even as the disciples received the Great Commission, scripture tells us that “some doubted.”

This morning, July 11, we welcome Noah Matthyssee, who is a guest to our pulpit and recent graduate of Calvin Theological Seminary.

This is part one of a two-part message on Doubt. He will be bringing part two next week Sunday, July 18.

This week is about asking questions — Is it okay for us to ask questions? Is it a sign of bad faith for us to seek evidence for our beliefs?

Red Sea Rule #5 “Stay Calm, God is Working”

July 6, 2021/0 Comments/in Red Sea Rules, Sermons /by Carol Roskam

Exodus 14:13-14 – Do you have trouble waiting? It’s difficult to wait upon the Lord at times. We want answers Now! We want deliverance Now! We want God to act Now! We are impatient people. It makes sense, everything in our culture tells us or caters to our desire for immediate gratification. But it’s also hard to wait when we are afraid. Yet God so often says wait. But that doesn’t mean He’s not actively doing something. It doesn’t mean He’s not working. In those moments we need to listen to God’s words to the Israelites, “Stand Firm! – Be silent! And see the deliverance of the Lord!”

Red Sea Rules #4 – Pray!

Exodus 14:10

When you find yourself in an acute crisis, what’s your first reaction? Do you cry out to the Lord? That’s what the Israelites did when they saw Pharaoh’s armies marching toward them. They did most things right, except for one very important element. They didn’t really believe that God would help them. Let’s uncover rule number four together.

“RECKLESS LOVE”

June 1, 2021/0 Comments/in Sermons, Stand Alone /by Carol Roskam

Three parables in Luke 15 help us understand God’s love. God’s love isn’t reckless but his love is selfless to the point of death, and our love is rarely, it ever, selfless. So, it’s hard for us to really understand the Love that He extends to us.
