We can say things like “In God We Trust,” but what do we mean? Do we really trust?
God’s way doesn’t always look the most successful in the moment, but it is the path to true success.
When it feels dark, we need the well trod paths of God’s Word to strengthen us so we don’t lose hope.
You arrive early at the restaurant and order an iced tea while waiting for a friend whose advice you desperately need. One refill comes, then another, until the condensation has left the table damp and the agreed time is long past. An hour and a half later, you leave more dejected than when you arrived. Psalm 13 asks the same question that fills that silence: How long, O Lord?
Melanie takes us to the question “What happens after death to those not united to Christ by faith?” from the New City Catechism. This is a challenging but important question.
Pastor Tim takes us to the question “Are all people, just as they were lost through Adam, saved through Christ?” from the New City Catechism. What do we need to do to be saved?
Pastor Tim takes us to the question “What else does Christ’s death redeem?” from the New City Catechism. Does Christ’s death and resurrection “only” grant us salvation or does His work do even more?
Pastor Tim takes us to the question “Does Christ’s death mean all our sins can be forgiven?” from the New City Catechism. Can God really forgive us?
Melanie takes us to the question “Why was it necessary for Christ, the Redeemer, to die?” from the New City Catechism. This question takes us to the amazing and wondrous beauty of the Gospel.
Pastor Tim takes us to the question “Why must the Redeemer be truly God?” from the New City Catechism. The question leads us to wrestle with the fullness of who God is and how we can come before him, the subject of this week’s sermon.
