Moving Forward Through Your Tests
January 29, 2023 • Dr. Lance D. Watson • James 1:1–12
Jericho was an oasis town, built on a mound, and defended by walls and towers, it bars Israel’s way into the Promised Land. The capture of Jericho was critical for Joshua’s campaign. Cleverly, the spies stay with a prostitute—her name is Rahab. She hides them. She is acquainted with their history and testifies to her belief that God was giving them this land. She begs that she and her family be spared. The spies agree, and Rahab helps them escape. Her past was dubious, but it didn’t prevent her from moving forward. Her example is one to be duplicated.

Moving Forward After Failure

Simon was a fisherman by trade on the Sea of Galilee. Being a fisherman in that region means he made better than average money. Most of the surrounding area was agrarian, with wheat and grains being the staple food, and fish being the main source of protein. So, as a fisherman, there was always a demand for his product. Still, it was a tough business – and expensive especially if you failed to catch fish! What do you do with failure? That’s our focus today. We are Saint Paul’s Everywhere!

Moving Forward In Faith
January 8, 2023 • Dr. Lance D. Watson • Matthew 15:21–28
Today we hear the cry of a mother’s heart for her child. We meet a lady who literally “cries out” to Jesus until He will hear her request. Her child is suffering, and her only hope is Jesus. Initially, she appears rejected. The disciples of Jesus find her a bother, but because of her great faith that continues to move her forward, Jesus rewards her despite the fact that His blessings (according to Matthew’s telling of the story) were to first fall upon Israel and then upon those outside of their nation.
