Sermons About Yahweh
American Idols
No one thinks they are an idolater. Irreligious people think they cannot be idolaters because they don't worship any gods. Religious people think they cannot be idolaters because they only worship one god. Both groups are wrong. And both groups are filled with idolaters. Listen in as we learn about human idolatry and Yahweh's response as recorded in the book of Judges.

2 Samuel 18.1-19.8 - A Sad Victory
This is the final battle that determines who is king. David's men defeats Absalom and kills him contrary to David's request and command. While Joab may have been disobedient in this action, he is still acting more like a king that David, who is passive. David finally receives the news about the death of Absalom and morns for his son. His morning actually hurts the troops and demoralizes Israel in the process. One will benefit from this narrative when one places it and the sad vistory with the emphasis on David's guilt and solution in grace of God in Christ.

The God Who Pursues
When you hear the name "Jonah" it is likely you think of a fantastic story about a big fish. But the book of Jonah is about so much more than a big fish. It is also about so much more than Jonah himself. The book is about Yahweh, the Lord, and how he interacts with his creation. In this first sermon of a four part series on Jonah we are introduced to Yahweh as the God who pursues his people through human obedience and disobedience alike. Listen in as we learn of Yahweh through the experience of Jonah.

To Be the People of God (Exodus 3)
What does it mean to be the people of God? From Exodus 3 we see that: the Holy One will dwell with his people; the God of Abraham will deliver his people; I AM WHO I AM will be with his people; and the Mighty One will vindicate his people. We will see different facets of who God is and what it means that the holy God dwells with us, delivers us, and vindicates us.
