Some lives are brief. Too brief. Way too brief. It was this way for Abel. Though his life was cut short, he lived carefree with God and as an inspiration to all who desire to walk moment by moment in the presence of God.
Sermons from January 2021
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?
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.

What does God expect of me in 2021? Am I doing enough to please Him? Isn’t there something else I could do to make my life matter for God glory and the good of the world? In this ancient genealogy we discover that maybe doing one thing is enough. “Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.” Maybe walking with God is enough.
