SCARS: Confession

John 21:1-19             {Prayer}             Throughout this Forgiving Challenge we have been working through the word SCARS . SCARS are marks that remind us something once went wrong.             The acronym SCARS stands for Sin, Confession, Absolution, Restoration, Sanctification.             Last week we talked about why we aren’t free. We aren’t free because of sin.…

“White as Light”

Matthew 17:1-9             {Prayer}             The other day in Wal-Mart I found myself in the lightbulb aisle. Picking out a lightbulb isn’t an easy task anymore. It used to be what size and what wattage. Now there are a ton of options. Regular or candelabra base? LED, halogen, or incandescent? Clear or clouded? Lumens instead…

“Joyful Noise to Christ Alone”

Psalm 98:4-6             {Prayer}             There are certain moments in life when joy just comes out. Birthday parties, pep rallies, Christmas morning, concerts where everyone sings together.             That kind of joyful noise is exactly what Psalm 98 is talking about when it says, “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into…

“Fearfully and Wonderfully Made”

Genesis 2:4-7, 15-25             {Prayer}             Handcrafted items are worth more than something similar made in a factory. When Jessica and I found out we were expecting Faith, I decided that I was going to make her a toy box. Now I could have gone out and bought one, but since I personally cut the…

“Baby Names”

Luke 1:26-38             {Prayer}             Finding out that you are having a baby is monumental. It’s a life-changing event. The joy of expecting a baby is often paired with a healthy dose of nervousness. How are we going to afford this? Where was the “having a baby” manual again? Do we get a “how to…

“Company Comes”

Luke 1:39-45             {Prayer}             Families are beginning to gather for their Christmas celebrations. In light of that, I have a question for you … have you ever had company come unannounced? Maybe your surprise guests don’t rival Cousin Eddie and Catherine crashing the Griswold family in the classic Christmas movie “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.”…

“Home Hurts”

Luke 1:5-25             {Prayer}             We started our Advent sermon series last Sunday by diving into Jesus’ family tree found in Matthew 1. In seeing how messed up Jesus’ family tree was, we learned that no person is ever too messed up, too broken, or too lost to be connected to Jesus’ family tree. Jesus…
