Sermons About Bitterness
Narnia...Prince Caspian and His Greatest Strength
Prince Caspian, the rightful heir to the throne in the world of Narnia, is sabotaged by his evil Uncle, Miraz. In addition, the young Prince discovers that his father, King Caspian, was murdered by his Uncle. With feelings of revenge, anger, and bitterness, Prince Caspian seeks to avenge the death of his father by killing his uncle. Finally, with sword in hand and his uncle brought to his knees, the perfect opportunity is afforded him. Instead, he chooses not to take the life of his Uncle and, in doing so, overcomes evil with good, something from which all of us can greatly learn and pattern our lives after!

Who Are You Like?
The Old Testament contains stories of people who are just like us. They are people who live in dysfunctional families where backbiting, deception, treachery, bitterness, and anger occur everyday. When Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Esau get together in Genesis 27, we see a messed up family who does everything wrong, and yet God's grace still uses this family to bring his promise of salvation to the world. In Genesis 27, we can see a little bit of ourselves in all of these characters, and a lot of ourselves in at least one of them. See who you are like and what you need to do to be like the Savior who died for people like this.

John 3:22-4:3 Joy or Bitterness; life or Death?
It amazes me how cleverly John put this book together to tell his story clearly and with the vision for us to believe and worship his God, Jesus Christ. Our passage comes off the heals of a passage defining what being born from above is, and then turns to how bitter jealousy can rob our joy, right before he goes into an incredible story of worship in chapter 4. Let’s enjoy the feast!

Faith in the Wilderness (Exodus 15:22 - 18:27)
After seeing God's great power and glory, Israel falls into escalating grumbling as God brings them through the wilderness. Moses, however, retains his faith in "the LORD my banner". Without denying the very real and agonizing hardships we experience in life, we must resist the temptation to unbelief and grumbling and must remind ourselves of God's goodness and faithfulness. He will surely continue to sustain us through trials.
