As we draw closer to the 2020 election, it is clear that Christians have differing opinions on how to vote. Part of the problem is that the New Testament never gives us direct instructions on how to think through a political election. However, that doesn’t mean that God has left us without any guidance on this subject. If Christians are called to be people who love God and love their neighbors, then how can these commands help us make a wise decision on election day?
A sermon on Psalm 62 from guest preacher Tyler St. Clair of Cornerstone Church in Detroit, MI.
Our country is as divided as it has been in a long time. The upcoming election has only exacerbated these issues. What role does the church have to play in the world, politics, and our political institutions? How can we faithfully serve Jesus while seeking the common good of all people? Maybe most importantly, how can we honor God by honoring those he has put in authority over us? Check out our first sermon from our new series, “The Elephant, the Donkey, and the Lamb.”
Human beings have solved plenty of problems over the years, but we've never been able to overcome death. Rather, we spend most of our lives pushing death to the margins of society. We want to distract ourselves from the thought, and we want to push it as far away as we can from us. However, is it possible in our efforts to ignore death, we're actually missing a tool that God has given us for our good? In this sermon, Pastor Eric looks at how remembering our death can be one of the most spiritually beneficial things we can do.
Many today have dismissed the idea that God is a being we need to fear in any sense. However, the author of Ecclesiastes 5 encourages us to approach God with proper respect, awe, and fear. How can we begin to reembrace the fear of the Lord, and what does it mean to fear God if he has given us grace through Jesus's life, death, and resurrection? Check out our latest sermon from Ecclesiastes 5 to discover why the fear of the Lord might just be one of the most comforting doctrines we can recover.
We were made for relationships. However, if you talk to most people, they struggle to find a deep connection with family and friends. Why are meaningful friendships so difficult to find, how can we begin to pursue them, and what can Jesus teach us about friendship? Check out our latest sermon from Ecclesiastes, "I Have Called You Friends."
There are plenty of ways we can try and find meaning and purpose in this life. In Ecclesiastes 2, Solomon looked for these things in entertainment, food, drink, art, beauty, wealth, and sex. Ultimately, he discovered that they could never satisfy him. However, when he stopped expecting these things to do for him what only God could do and rather received them as good gifts, he found the ability to find joy in both the gift and the giver. Check out more from our latest sermon in Ecclesiastes.
What is the meaning of life? This is a difficult question, and human beings have spent thousands of years trying to discover the answer. For some, meaning and purpose can be found in what we can accomplish. If we can acquire enough fame, wealth, and accomplishments, then we will be satisfied. But what happens when we realize those things can't make us happy? Join us as we start our journey through the book of Ecclesiastes.
Everyone wants their life to matter. We often try and find meaning in success, relationships, and accomplishments. While none of these things are wrong, they can't provide our lives with full meaning and purpose. What can? Check out our latest sermon for more.
