God is Peace

Ada Bible Church

God is Peace

June 23, 2024 • Brad Holmes • Judges 6:11–27

Pastor Brad Holmes continues our God Is series by unpacking God as Peace through the story of Gideon in Judges 6. God reveals himself to Gideon in the midst of Gideon’s fear and weakness. Gideon recognizes God as the one who brings peace. We see how God is not only the God of peace, but through Philippians 4:5b-7, Paul makes it clear that God wants to be the source of peace for our lives. We’re challenged to run to God for peace, instead of the false promises of peace offered by the world.

God is Satisfying

August 4, 2024 • Jeff Manion • Jeremiah 2:13, Matthew 22:34–40

Pastor Jeff Manion concludes our God Is sermon series by teaching how God is our ultimate source of satisfaction. We discover our human tendency to seek fulfillment in "broken cisterns" rather than in God. We are challenged to recognize and replace our counterfeit gods, understanding that true satisfaction can only be found in God. We discover practical ways to cultivate a deeper satisfaction in God and recognize the connection between loving God and loving our neighbors.

God is Creative

July 28, 2024 • Jeff Manion • Genesis 50:15–21

Pastor Jeff Manion continues our God Is sermon series by exploring God's creativity with insights from the life of Joseph. We discover how God works creatively in and through our pain, utilizing even difficult circumstances to bring about good. We are challenged to trust in God's wider perspective and ultimate goodness, even when we can't see it. We find hope and encouragement, reminding us that God's creative work often extends beyond what we see or understand.

God is Holy

July 21, 2024 • Aaron Buer • Isaiah 6:1–8

Pastor Aaron continues our God Is series by examining God’s holiness, as seen in Isaiah's vision in Isaiah 6:1-8. We explore the true meaning of holiness as being "set apart.” We discover that encountering God's holiness reveals our sinfulness while offering the opportunity for transformation. Through Christ's work on the cross, we recognize we are forgiven and also made righteous, empowering us to live as "set apart" individuals. We are challenged to embrace our calling as being sent to bring God’s transformational presence into every aspect of our lives and the world around us.
