Sex, Lies, and Marriage
by Sermon Recap on July 7th, 2025
In Deuteronomy 22:13-30, we're challenged to consider the sacred nature of marriage and sexual purity. The passage reveals God's high standards for His people, emphasizing the seriousness of adultery and sexual immorality. We're reminded that marriage isn't just a human institution, but a divine reflection of God's covenant with His people. This perspective invites us to see our relationships through a spiritual lens, recognizing that how we honor our marriages directly impacts our relationship with God. The harsh consequences described in the Old Testament law highlight just how seriously God takes these matters. While we no longer stone adulterers, we're called to take sexual purity and marital faithfulness just as seriously in our modern context. This message encourages us to examine our own lives, relationships, and cultural attitudes towards sex and marriage, challenging us to align more closely with God's design and purpose. Read More
What Does God Require?
by Sermon Recap on March 17th, 2025
In Deuteronomy 10:12-22, we're challenged to consider what God truly requires of us. The passage emphasizes that while we enjoy God's blessings through His grace, He still calls us to covenant faithfulness. This isn't about earning God's favor, but about responding to His undeserved love with wholehearted devotion. We're called to fear God, imitate Him, love Him, serve Him, and obey His commands - not out of duty, but from a transformed heart. The message draws fascinating parallels between Israel's covenant relationship with God and our own journey as Christians. Just as God called Israel to be His representation on earth, we, too, are called to reflect Christ's image in our daily lives. This teaching invites us to examine our hearts: Are we living out of genuine love for God, or merely going through religious motions? It's a call to embrace God's transformative grace and allow it to shape every aspect of our lives. Read More
