Sermons About God
Broken Pt. 1 - Broken and Blessed
The words "broken" and "blessing" don't typically go together. Brokeness implies pain, suffering, and testing. It's not the easy road, but brokenness is one of God's primary tools to rid us of self-reliance and to bring us to a place of total God-reliance . . . the place of ultimate blessing.

Obeying God's Word
We all struggle to obey God’s word. We are in good company, though, because most of the people who are lifted up as examples in the Bible struggled to obey God’s word too. We have a tendency to be more concerned with learning the Bible than with applying it to our lives, which makes us knowledgeable but proud, contentious, and condescending instead of humble, loving and merciful. We also don’t make reading the Bible a priority so we are ignorant of what it says, which leads us to wander off of God’s good path and make a wreck of our lives. Once we do learn God’s word our stubborn hearts get in the way and we reject someone else telling us to surrender to them and obey because we think we know better. In the end the only one who can obey God’s word perfectly is Jesus Christ, and we need His death to cover over our failures to obey God’s word, and we need His perfect obedience to be credited to us through faith in Him.

We like to think that we are clever enough, rich enough, and educated enough to make our way through this life on our own, but we still end up groping around in spiritual darkness, grasping for meaning and significance in places where it doesn't exist.

Observing and Praising the Lord
This psalm, like many places in Scripture, commands us to praise the Lord with joy. This does not mean that we should manufacture an artificial emotional response but that we should observe the majesty of God and His perfect character and then respond accordingly. We sometimes have trouble praising God and this often happens because we haven’t spent enough time observing and meditating on who He is and what He has done for us, especially from what we see in the Bible. When we stop and spend time thinking about how powerful, faithful, trustworthy, and loving the Lord is it will help us to respond to His greatness with fitting words of praise.

One Picture is Worth 1,000 Words
Whether "never-married", divorced, widowed or otherwise "single-again", over 40% of the North America adult population is single. When the church teaches and emphasizes the critical role of the "family", we often forget to talk to this huge population who are not currently married. While the Bible upholds the sanctity of marriage and promotes a healthy family life as the key unit of society, it also has much encouragement to individuals who are not married. The unique contribution that a single person can give for the glory of God makes it a life worth celebrating and exploiting. Rather than seeing singleness as "2nd best", can we celebrate the gifts and opportunities God gives to those who are doing life "solo?" Key Passage: 1 Corinthians 7:32
