Is Your Faith Any Good?

January 15, 2017 - James 1: 5-8, 22-27

January 15, 2017 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson

What good is your religion? In the face of suffering, does it do any good for you to be a Christian? Are you any good to others because you’re a believer? Is God pleased with your religion?

What Tomorrow May Bring

February 19, 2017 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson

Who knows what tomorrow may bring? Not a job, not a home, not a person, not a breath is guaranteed. Who knows what tomorrow may bring? Not I. I know only that I will need him every hour, more than ever. That is the dying of pride, and, what do you know, it feels wonderful! To need him without hesitancy, without pride, is joy sweet and deep. The things that can be shaken have been shaken. But what cannot be shaken remains. Oh draw near to God today. Bring him your wounds. Bring him your losses. Bring him your need. Bring him your feelings of having a wave knock your feet out from under you. Bring him the sense of being lost on the trail. Bring him all of it. Call for him to put you on the rock that is higher and stronger than you are. Draw near to God that he might draw near to you. James 4: 7-8, 13-`7

Wisdom from Above

February 12, 2017 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson

Hysterical. Fearful. Anxious. Does the current atmosphere in our country leave you feeling any of these things? James 3 and 4 tell us that the peace, confidence and faith that allows us to remain steady comes from above (James 3 and 4). And remember, "The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?" (Psalm 27)
