Risky Faith - God's Love and Justice

November 27, 2022 • Bob Boerman • Genesis 18

This past Sunday evening, I (Pastor Bob) decided to watch Sunday Night Football, which is something I don’t do that often. I decided to watch the game because the Kansas City Chiefs were playing. They are my second favorite team next to the Bad News Bears. About halfway through the game, Al Michaels commented on another senseless shooting in our nation and then asked, “What’s gone wrong with our world?” It is a great question that demands an answer. Fortunately, the Bible gives us the answer plus the solution. We find both in today’s passage. I encourage you to read all of Genesis 18 in preparation for today’s sermon. In it, we find both God’s love and His justice. It is impossible to have one without the other. 

Risky Faith - When God Unexpectedly Shows up for Dinner

November 13, 2022 • Bob Boerman • Genesis 18, Genesis 19

We are going to wade into Genesis chapter 18. I (Pastor Bob) encourage you to read both Genesis 18 and 19 in preparation for the sermon since they are intricately tied to together. The story begins with Christ showing up unexpectedly for dinner (18) and ends with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (19), which we will not get to until after Christmas. Christ, along with two of His mighty angels, showed up unexpectedly for a leisurely dinner. Imagine that! During the course of the meal, Christ gave some great news to old Abraham and Sarah. One believed. One did not. We will take a close look at this account and what it means in our walk of faith. 

Risky Faith - Reinitiating the Covenant

Risky Faith - The God Who Hears Little People

October 30, 2022 • Bob Boerman • Genesis 15

We are going to look at the last half of Genesis 15 as we seek to discover how God speaks to His people. God started a conversation with Abraham at the beginning of chapter 15. The tone in His voice was reassuring. It was filled with compassion and even conviction, but not condemnation. This is the tone of voice God uses with His children. Abraham is concerned with how God will keep His promises so in today’s passage God gives him a glimpse of the future and makes a covenant promise that is irrevocable. In other words, God makes a promise that is not dependent on Abraham doing his part. We will take a close look at what God did and what this means in relationship to how God speaks to us today. I encourage you to read Genesis 15 in preparation.

Risky Faith - Hearing God's Voice (Part 1)

October 16, 2022 • Bob Boerman • Genesis 15

Has God ever spoken to you? I am sure He has although you may not realize it. Here is another question: when God speaks to you what is the tone of His voice? I (Bob) will explain more this morning as we take a deeper dive into the lives of Abraham and Sarah. We are going to take a look at a dialogue that happened between Abraham and God in Genesis 15. We can learn much from it. I encourage you to read it in preparation.
