Sermon Title: “The Anointed One’s Mission" (Pastor Bob)

Summary:

A church can be a great witness to its community if its members show great joy while living in this modern world with all its trouble and turmoil. As Christians we can lack joy because we have forgotten that Jesus’ mission in our lives and in the lives of others was a liberating mission; a mission that replaced shame with honor not just once but forever in the life of the Christian. Jesus is committed to us based on an everlasting covenant. So much of this world and maybe of our life experience can be summed up by the word desolation. Yet, this Servant of the Lord, this Anointed One, replaces desolation with delight. He can do this forever because he forever makes intercession for us. His hearing and answering our prayers prove it!

November 17, 2024 • Pastor Bob Becker • Isaiah 50:10, Psalm 65:1–8, Mark 4:35–41, Joshua 3

Sermon Title: “Astounding Things” (Pastor Bob) Sermon Text: Joshua 3:1-17 Sermon Summary: As children we could not wait to open our gifts on Christmas. The people of Israel cannot wait to stop wandering in the desert. They experience a mixture of anticipation, excitement and suspense as they wait to cross the Jordon River into the Promised Land. They saw God perform great miracles through Moses and now they will see Him do so through Joshua. As God parted the Red Sea through Moses, God now parts the Jordon River through Joshua. The Jordon River was overflowing its banks. This is not a little amount of water. Why does God do such an astonishing thing? He knows His people will need faith to finally find their rest. So it is with us. Spiritual rest always precedes physical rest. Trusting in God to give us the rest we crave takes faith. That covers the excitement, suspense and anticipation part. More faith, however, will be needed along our journey to find rest since God often opens His powerful hand one finger at a time! Meditation: Isaiah 50:10 Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God. Call to Worship: Psalm 65:1-8 (Responsive Reading) N.T. Reading: Mark 4:35-41

November 10, 2024 • Pastor Bob Becker • James 2:20–26, Joshua 2, Habakkuk 3:6, Psalm 40:1–11

Sermon Title: “God’s Grace For All Peoples” (Pastor Bob) Sermon Text: Joshua 2:1-24 Sermon Summary: Like Joshua, Rahab appears in the NT 3 times. The book of Joshua does not begin with judgment on the peoples of Canaan but with God’s grace and mercy. Not only was Rahab a Gentile, but she was also an Amorite. The Amorites were singled out by God for their sin. God told Abraham his descendants would not receive the land of Canaan until the iniquity of the Amorites was completed (Gen. 15:16). Add to this, she was a prostitute. Yet without a Bible she heard of God’s great deeds against the Egyptians and said, “for the LORD your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath (2:11)” What faith! A faith, even willing to put her life on the line for what she believed. God has not changed. He is still a God of grace and mercy saving both Jews and Gentiles. Meditation: Habakkuk 3:6 He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations; then the eternal mountains were scattered; the everlasting hills sank low. His were the everlasting ways. Call to Worship: Psalm 40:1-11 N.T. Reading: James 2:20-26
