As we learned last week, Noah listened to God and did what God commanded. In the New Testament, we learn that Noah “became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.” How do we become heirs of that righteousness? And what are the implications to our world when we receive and live that righteousness?
Sermons by Rob Cupp (Page 4)
Noah was born with a purpose. His biological father wanted him to help in the family business, but God had other plans for him. Throughout his life, Noah demonstrated that he walked with God and followed God before anyone or anything else, even when it meant breaking from others he loved and cared for.
For the 4th Sunday of Advent, we are continuing our focus on the character of Jesus Christ that was prophesied in Isaiah 9:6. The final characteristic of the this passage for us to focus on is Wonderful Counselor. Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor. His advice and plans for us are beyond human explanation. His solutions for our problems may not make sense to us, but when He enacts them our response has to be praise because only He could make something like that happen.
As we begin our Advent series called King of Kings. And You. we first focus on one of four attributes of Christ – Mighty God. What does it mean for the baby Jesus that we celebrate at Christmas to be The Mighty God? What are the implications for our world? And what would that mean for each of us individually?
God’s Character is perfect and He desires for His life and character to flow out of His Children by having them bear the fruit that looks like, tastes like and smells like Him. As we continue the part of our series on the Fruit of the Spirit, we see the next three fruit of the Spirit that Paul outlines show how those walking with God live in relationship with others – Patience, Kindness and Goodness. These are needed character qualities in our divisive world today.
Paul not only commanded the church in Ephesus to “be filled with the Spirit,” he also gave them a vision of what being filled would look like in the context of the community of believers. He is contrasting what these formerly pagan people would’ve known with what being filled sons and daughters of God would look like. His vision is of a community who expresses a melody from Heaven, thanksgiving to God and mutual submission from the depths of their hearts.
The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a basic but often overlooked fact of the true Christian life. God has always wanted to dwell inside His people to give us a new heart and live out his life through us. In this way, the world will see His people living out His Life and will glorify Him as Lord of All. But, how do we begin well with he indwelling Holy Spirit?
