The good news of the gospel reveals how God’s grace meets us where our own efforts fall short.
Being and keeping clean is always good, but if we clean the wrong spot the wrong way, we don't really clean. Jesus shows that outward actions are not what makes us dirty. Our hearts are most affected by what is within.
It is not easy to keep the faith because of sin in and around us, but faith is what gives us strength and power and enables us to bear good fruit unto God. Jesus cursed a fig tree that represented a hypocritical people that had no faith. Jesus then teaches his disciples to combine faith with prayer, that will enable us to trust in God and love one another.
King Solomon was abundantly blessed by God, but over time his heart was led astray by his hundreds of wives, and he began to follow their gods too. An idolatrous heart is like a cheating heart, and God in his anger would tear the kingdom away from Solomon. Yet out of his mercy he allowed Solomon to rule over 1 tribe, that one day a Savior king would come. God is angry with the wicked every day, but he sent his one and only Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins and bring us into his eternal kingdom.
God loves a cheerful giver because God Himself is a cheerful giver. By his great grace, he pours out blessings to those who give so that they may be able to give, and reap a harvest of righteousness, all of it resulting in thanksgiving to God.
Matthew 20:1-16

In 2009, I lost my job because of the economy. It was one of the worst days of my life, but two years later God made it one of the best of my life.
Romans shows us the real problem in our lives, sin and death, and the only cure God has given through Jesus.
The cross finished the work, the tomb proved the victory, and the gospel still has power to change lives today.
On August 24, we will be starting a new sermon series called Bible 101, which will go over the basics of faith.
