The Unsearchable Greatness of our God

Our Advocate, Jesus Christ the Righteous
1 John 1:5-2:6 One of the three tests that confirms our salvation is our obedience to God’s commands, yet no one is able to be perfectly obedient.

The song mentioned at the opening of the sermon:
Biblical Elements of Corporate Worship
We are commanded by God to worship him, but does it really matter how we do it? Pastor Doug Link tells us that God does indeed care about how we do it and his Word tells us what is acceptable and pleasing to him.
Humble Confidence in God
1 Peter 5:5b-11 Peter strengthens his brothers and sisters in Christ when he exhorts them to be humble toward each other under the mighty hand of God. Pastor Doug Link teaches that this humility is a Christian’s responsibility made possible through faith in the one who has dominion over all things forever and ever.

Psalm 24 Everything in the Earth belongs to God because He created it all. Pastor Doug Link brings us a timely reminder that nothing happens without God’s involvement.

The Good Lesson from a Bad Example

Be Careful How You Walk

What Sort of People Ought You to Be?
2 Peter 3:11-18 ~ In the first half of this chapter, Peter teaches that the Day of the Lord—with its judgment and destruction—will come. Pastor Doug Link encourages us, since we have this knowledge, to follow Peter’s exhortation to live our lives accordingly.
Our Eternal and Patient God
2 Peter 3:1-10 ~ It is in our nature to dislike waiting and, oftentimes, people wonder why it takes so long for God to fulfill his promises. Pastor Doug Link uses God’s own words to answer, “Is this just His sovereign purpose or is it more?”
