“Risky Faith” – Hebrews 11:20-28 – SERIES: Jesus is Better!

How do we make choices when we face difficult times?  Do we take the easy road or do we put it all on the line and trust that God will catch us?   Join us as we discuss the risky faith of some of these heroes of he Old Testament and see how their unflinching trust in God enabled them to look beyond fear, failure, and even death, because they trusted in the promises of God.  Sermon originally preached on November 2, 2014.

 

“Giving Them Back” – Genesis 22

We often think that our children belong to us, but they don’t!  They belong to God!  He has entrusted them to us!  So . . . the question for us is, “Have we given them back to God?”  They are in much better hands with him than with us.  God created our kids.  God loves our kids.  God has a plan and purpose for their life.  Will we help God as he tries to shape them, or will we stand in the way.  Join us as we look at Abraham’s test.  Would he give Isaac back to God or hold on to him himself?  Will we give our kids back to God?  Sermon originally preached on December 11, 2011.
