God Will Make Us Righteous

Today’s services weren’t supposed to happen. Our staff had some planning adjustments for the next few weeks of services.  We were supposed to conclude “The LORD Is Salvation” series today with Isaiah 66.  Due to some unforeseen dynamics, we needed to stretch it out a week, and so we added a service focused on Isaiah …

Grace Made Visible

We focused on Isaiah 58 today and it was an incredible time about talking about a true fast.  Not an opportunity to get God’s attention, but a chance to be his hands and feet in the world. The band led so well today.  I am just honored I get to be in the band. Scott …

Services were packed and …

Trusting God’s Sovereignty

Powerful day focusing on Isaiah 45 today!  We tried to do some minor tweaking to the service to allow people to prepare to meet with God.  It was pretty special seeing people quiet their souls before we began. Today’s service (well, at least the 11:00, we changed some things around on the spot at 9:30): …

Fear Not, For I Am With You

Above is a sermon I preached on Isaiah 41 at North Side Baptist Church on February 21, 2016. God never reassures people based on their potential but with his presence. The greatest promise of God is the presence of God. God’s presence is the only promise powerful enough to subside our fears. Sermon Notes God invites …
