“For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. 7 It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you…

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.  Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.  In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.  In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  Beloved, if God…

“No misfortune is seen in Jacob,    no misery observed in Israel.The Lord their God is with them;    the shout of the King is among them.God brought them out of Egypt;    they have the strength of a wild ox.There is no divination against Jacob,    no evil omens against Israel.It will now be said of Jacob    and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’The people rise like a lioness;    they rouse themselves like a lionthat does not rest till it devours its prey    and drinks the blood of its victims.” Numbers 23:21-24 Sermon Notes

I sought the Lord, and he answered me;    he delivered me from all my fears.Those who look to him are radiant;    their faces are never covered with shame.This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;    he saved him out of all his troubles.The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,    and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good;    blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.Fear the Lord, you his holy people,    for those who fear him lack nothing.The lions may grow weak and hungry,    but those who seek the Lord lack no…

 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.  So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.  Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.  So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,  for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.  There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave…

Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’  The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:28b-31 Sermon…

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10 Sermon Notes

 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.…

 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered.  “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.  It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.  No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.  Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.  I…

Sing praises to God, sing praises;    sing praises to our King, sing praises.For God is the King of all the earth;    sing to him a psalm of praise. God reigns over the nations;    God is seated on his holy throne.The nobles of the nations assemble    as the people of the God of Abraham,for the kings of the earth belong to God;    he is greatly exalted. Psalm 47:6-9 Sermon Notes
