Sons of God
by Sermon Recap on April 28th, 2025
In our study of Deuteronomy 14, we're invited to see God's laws not as restrictive burdens, but as loving boundaries set by a caring Father. The food laws and funeral practices discussed aren't just arbitrary rules - they're designed to set God's people apart as holy and treasured. So we are challenged to consider how we live as God's children in a world that often pulls us in different directions? But this message ultimately points us to Christ, who perfectly fulfilled these laws and offers us the opportunity to become children of God through faith in Him. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to live in a way that reflects our status as God's holy and treasured possession, not out of obligation, but out of love and gratitude for the freedom we've been given in Christ.  Read More
Law and Gospel
by Sermon Recap on January 10th, 2025
In this powerful exploration of Deuteronomy 4:44-5:5, we're invited to grapple with the complex relationship between God's law and Christian faith. As we delve into Moses' second sermon to the Israelites, we're challenged to consider: What role does the Old Testament law play in our lives today? This message beautifully unpacks how the law was a gift to Israel, instructing them in covenant faithfulness. Yet, as followers of Christ, we're called to a nuanced understanding. The law reveals God's unchanging nature and our need for a Savior, while also providing wisdom for loving God and neighbor. As we navigate between legalism and disregard for God's commands, we're encouraged to see the law through the lens of Christ's fulfillment. This perspective invites us to appreciate the richness of God's word while living in the freedom and grace of the new covenant.  Read More
