Matthew 14:22-33

March 15, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Matthew 14:22–33

The Bible tells of several different kinds of storms that build faith.
There are storms of correction and storms of perfection. There was a
storm in the life of the disciples of Jesus that was a defining moment
in their faith. This storm moved them into a whole new understanding
of who Jesus was. It caused them to recognize Jesus was the Son of
God and compelled them to worship Him. Join Pastor Jim as he
unpacks helpful insights from this exciting passage in Matthew’s
Gospel.

More from Christ Our Hope in Life and Death (2020)

Luke 24:1-12

April 12, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Luke 24:1–12

While the church building remains closed, God is still in the business of building His church. And God often does things in ways we would never have imagined. From my perspective, God has been turning our isolation into a transformation. Some have asked “How can you even talk about Easter when everything in the world is turned upside down, inside out, when so many are suffering, even dying, and there is so much fear, anxiety, and despair???? We say, that’s precisely WHY we need to talk about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are praying God will carry us through survival and to revival. Join Pastor Jim for this hope-filled message from Luke 24.

Palm Sunday 2020

April 5, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Psalm 27, Luke 19:37–48

That first Palm Sunday when Jesus rode into Jerusalem He was illustrating the fact that He was taking the initiative to offer Himself as the perfect Lamb of God, to pay the price for our sin, and to purchase our salvation. One thousand years before the time of Christ, King David sang of God’s salvation in what were unquestionably dark and uncertain times. How do these ancient scriptures speak hope into our own era? Join Pastor Jim as he takes a look at the good news of God’s salvation, on offer through faith in Christ.

Acts 16:13-40

March 29, 2020 • Pastor Jim Thomas • Acts 16:13–40

Acts 16 tells the story of 7 Unlikely Conversions. Paul and Silas (2 of the unlikely ones themselves!) traveled out on the second missionary journey. Along the way God led them to share the Gospel with an amazingly diverse group of individuals who all turned to faith in Christ. Join Pastor Jim as he reminds us that God works in mysterious ways, even through difficult times, and pours His glory through their lives in all kinds of circumstances.
