In this week's text we see a final test of faith for Abraham, the sacrifice of his beloved son Isaac. Through this we continue to see the faithfulness of God in the midst of test and trial. In the same way that God provided the sacrifice for Abraham and Isaac on top of Mt. Moriah, he has also given us Jesus, the Lamb who died so we don't have to.
In this week's text we see Abraham, father of the Hebrew nation, a man who's faithfulness is counted as righteousness, promised and tested. And while he is faithful we also see many times he is faithless but that God is always faithful. This narrative is in fact about God's faithfulness to Abraham and Abraham's faithfulness to repent to God.
This week's text is probably one of the most well known Bible "stories" and the danger comes when we look at it as that and not as a part of the story of redemption. The focus of this narrative is not that God judges but the fact that God saves.
Cain's approach to worshipping God is in complete contrast to that of his brother Abel and instead of receiving God's rebuke as grace he murders his brother in cold blood. Through this story of the first murder we see many things as they pertain to worship, rebuke and repentance, sin and consequences, mercy and grace, and ultimately Jesus.
For our new series we start at the beginning of it all, creation. Pastor Noah walks us through 7 acts of creation and the fall pointing us to the truth of the Gospel in each of them. (We apologize for the background music on this recording, some wires were crossed.)
In this week's sermon, Pastor Noah gives encouragement and challenge to women as he looks at what God's word tells us they should be like in Proverbs 31 and how they should function in Titus 2:3-5.
In this week's text we see Paul instructing Titus to find and challenge men. Pastor Noah urges us that we don't need just a few good men but God desires for all men to be good. Listen as he challenges our men and men everywhere with the truth of God's Word.
On this New Year's Day, Pastor Noah Oldham shares vision for the year ahead. At the core of that vision are three foundational goals centered in the Gospel that we see from our text in Titus.
We see in our text this week Mary's response to what God is doing in her life, she responds with joy and in total obedience. What we learn for ourselves is that when you realize the Gospel is for you, your response is joy.
