05 Can Two Walk Together? – Amos 3:1–15
PM 08 March 2026 Text: Amos 3:1–15Title: Can Two Walk Together?Setting: Evening Worship Service, 08 March 2026 Introduction One of the simplest, most ordinary pictures in life is that of two people walking together. Perhaps you’ve gone for a walk with a friend or spouse. You don’t just suddenly appear on the same road—first there has to be an agreement: Where are we going? What pace will we keep? Which path will we take? Without agreement, you soon find yourselves…
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,…
03 Judah and the Danger of Religious Presumption – Amos 2:4-5
PM 08 Feb 2026 03 Judah and the Danger of Religious Presumption – Amos 2:4-5 Introduction — The Lion Turns on His Own Brothers and sisters, as we open God’s Word to Amos chapter 2 this evening, I want you to picture the scene. The prophet Amos is standing in the public square, delivering the Word of the Lord. And as he speaks, the people of Israel lean in to listen. Up to this point, every oracle has been about…
12 Paul’s Pastoral Appeal – Galatians 4:8-20
AM 08 February 2026 12 Galatians 4’8–20 – Paul’s Pastoral Appeal Introduction: The Heart of a Shepherd Few pains cut deeper for a faithful pastor than watching spiritual children drift back into bondage. Paul feels that sorrow keenly for the Galatians. Having seen them freed by justification through faith, he now hears they are turning again to legalism, and his heart breaks. In this passage, his tone shifts from theological argument to personal pleading, from defense of doctrine to the…
02 The Roar from Zion – Amos 1:3-2:3
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…
01 The Lion Roars – Amos 1:1-2
PM 18 January 2026 01 The Lion Has Roared Amos 1’1-2 Introduction: The Voice of a Lion Imagine the silence of the Judean wilderness at dusk. The shepherd keeps watch over his flock in the cooling air when, in the distance, comes the deep, rolling roar of a lion. Every ear perks up. Every creature freezes. The roar announces the presence of danger and the certainty of action. The lion does not roar for no reason. The book of Amos…
09 The Purpose of the Law – Galatians 3:15-22
AM 18 January 2026 09 The Purpose of the Law Galatians 3’15–22 Sunday AM, 18 Jan 2026 Introduction Brothers and sisters, one of the deepest questions of the Christian life is this: How do God’s promise and God’s Law fit together? On the one hand, the Bible tells us that salvation is a free gift—rooted in God’s promise, given by His grace, received through faith. From Abraham onward, God pledged blessing to His people, not because they earned it, but…
Psalm 41 O Lord Be GRacious To Me
PM 11 January 2026 Psalm 41 O Lord Be Gracious to Me Text: Psalm 41:1–13Title: O Lord, Be Gracious to Me PM 11 January 2026 Introduction Beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, tonight we turn to Psalm 41—the last psalm in the first book of the Psalter. You will notice that it both begins and ends with blessing. Verse 1 opens: “Blessed is the one who considers the poor!” Verse 13 closes: “Blessed be the Lord, the God of…
08 CHrist Redeems from The Curse of the Law – Galatians 3:10-14
AM Service 11 January 2026 08 Christ Redeems from the Curse of the Law Galatians 3:10-14 11 January 2026 AM Introduction Every human heart longs for blessing. From the beginning of creation, blessing is God’s design for mankind. In Genesis 1, God blessed Adam and Eve, charging them to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it, and to enjoy His presence in the garden. Blessing meant life in fellowship with God, joy in His creation, peace…
