PM 19 April 2026 11 Visions of Judgment and Mercy Amos 7 Introduction – The Prophet Who Pleaded for Mercy Congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ,the seventh chapter of Amos opens a new section in the prophet’s book.

PM 15 March 2026 06 Prepare to Meet Your God Amos 4 Introduction: When God’s Patience Runs Out Congregation, the prophet Amos ministers during an age of peace and prosperity.Israel under Jeroboam II is rich, comfortable, and confident. Their sanctuaries are full, their fields are fertile, their trade routes busy.

14 Freedom in Christ Not Legalism Galatians 5’1–6
AM 08 March 2026 Introduction Freedom is one of the most precious words in the Christian vocabulary—and one of the most misunderstood. Every heart longs for it. The world cries for freedom from oppression, from guilt, from authority. But the Bible tells us that true freedom is not found in casting off all restraint; it is found only in belonging to Jesus Christ. That is the burden of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. They had begun well—rejoicing in the gospel…
04 The Sins of Israel Unmasked – Amos 2:6-16
PM Sermon, 01 March 2026 04 The Sins of Israel Unmasked Amos 2:6-16 Introduction Congregation, we are entering into one of the most searching passages in all of the prophets. Amos was a shepherd from Tekoa, a man of the soil, not from the schools of the prophets. God raised him up to proclaim His Word in the days of Jeroboam II, when Israel was outwardly strong, prosperous, and self-confident. The northern kingdom was expanding its borders, trade was flourishing,…

PM 01 Feb 2026 Introduction – The Roar from Zion Text: Amos 1:3–2:3 Open your Bibles with me to Amos 1, beginning at verse 3. “The LORD roars from Zion,and utters his voice from Jerusalem;the pastures of the shepherds mourn,and the top of Carmel withers.” (Amos 1:2, ESV) A lion’s roar is unforgettable. Even behind the safety of a zoo barrier, it makes your chest tremble. It commands attention. That is the image God uses here in Amos — a…
11 ADOPTION through the Son – Galatians 4:1-7
AM 01 February 2026 11 Adoption through the Son Galatians 4’1–7 Introduction – From Bondage to Belovedness Every person longs to belong, to be known, loved, and accepted. We often seek that security in family, work, the approval of others, or even in our religious performance. But apart from Christ, all such striving leaves us living like servants rather than sons, trying to earn what can only be given by grace. The Apostle Paul writes to the Galatians because they…
10 Sons of God Through Faith – Galatians 3:23-29
25 January 2026 (We had cancelled services due to an ice storm; this is pulled from a “ZoomCast” of the service). Brothers and sisters in Christ, when Paul writes to the Galatians, he is speaking to people who were being tempted to go backward—to leave the freedom of the gospel and to return to the slavery of the Law. False teachers had crept in, insisting that faith in Christ was not enough. To be truly a child of God, they…
