God Can Use Everything

July 26, 2015 - Selections from Genesis 42-45

July 26, 2015 • Rev. Derek McCollum

The Lord can turn ugliness into beauty. Death into life. This is the kind of God we worship today. A God who has taken our sin and has given back something beautiful—his grace.

Hope for Anxious People

July 19, 2015 • Rev. Derek McCollum

Jesus tells us to seek him and his kingdom and not to worry about the other stuff. Why? Why can we not be anxious? Because our Father loves us. He is in sovereign control of all things and he loves and takes care of us. So we can trust him. We can put all our fears and all our anxiety and all our insecurity on him. He is the God who can bear it.

Victims and Victimizers

July 12, 2015 • Rev. Derek McCollum

Our Savior, renews both the victims and the victimizers. What we need as a church, and what we need individually, is a gospel that both heals the deep wounds of sin done against us and challenges the deep sin we have inflicted on others. We need a King who judges justly and who vindicates the victim. We need a savior who calls us to repentance and offers forgiveness for sin. We need someone who can renew us, change us, heal us. We have that person in Jesus Christ.
