The Best Is Yet To Come

John 2: 1-12

January 6, 2019 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson

At the beginning of the New Year, we still believe the best is yet to come. 2019 may bring suffering or triumph, prosperity or struggle in our daily lives. But we know that Jesus will return to set all things right. We know that as we partake of him in faith, he makes us part of his mission to the world. Our little lives get taken up into the significance of his mighty work on behalf of all people. We become part of Christ’s massive blessing project on this earth. Whatever we do, we now do for his sake, in his name and for his glory. It changes everything. Even repetitive tasks and the duty of drudgery receive the fine wine of significance. For Jesus transforms it all.

John 2: 1-12

Lord and Savior—and Treasure: The Complex Beauty of Christ

February 4, 2024 • David Mathis • Revelation 5:1–12

God designed our souls for Jesus. Not just a divine Father, and not just a human friend, but God himself in human flesh. God himself, in the person of his Son, becoming one of us — God with us, as fully God and fully man, in one spectacular person. #beautyofchrist #firstpresbyterianbr #sermon #revelation #lambofgod #lionofjudah

Better Together

September 3, 2023 • Pastor Adraine White • Ephesians 4:23, Ephesians 4:16, Ephesians 4:1–6

We can clearly see that God has called us to unity. He is more concerned about the unity of the Spirit than he is about the unity of our races or even the unity of our politics. There is a unity that the spirit is capable of producing that will bring us together, if we will allow him. We are different and it's NOT a mistake nor is it a curse, it's by God's design. Our job is to embrace the differences, forbear one another & come together so we can see what wonderful things we can accomplish when we do.

God Is the Strength of My Heart

August 6, 2023 • Gerrit Dawson • Psalm 73:1–5, Psalm 73:13–26

These days, a powerful idea gets marketed to us from all sides. It’s the dream that I can hold my whole life in my hands and get everything arranged according to my truest self. I can live my dreams. I can express my truest self, and everyone will recognize it and give me space and I will be fulfilled in myself. I don’t need God or anyone if I can just grasp myself, and then be myself. I can do it, if I believe enough in myself and work hard enough and carve out my space.  #strength #powerofgod #sermon #worship #firstpresbyterianbr #creator
