Psalm 13: An Individual Lament

God created lament, and therefore, to lament is Christian. Lament is a way of bringing our anguish and frustrations to God in order to find comfort. We considered Psalm 13 today (which is an individual lament) using the four-part formula of turn to prayer, complain, ask boldly, and trust God. I pray it blesses you.  

Psalm 12: A Community Lament

Fellowship Church is currently spending two weeks in the psalms of lament. God created lament as a means of expressing and processing our sorrows in his presence. Thus, to lament is Christian. On August 31, we considered the community lament of Psalm 12 which celebrates the enduring word of God in a fallen world characterized by deceit. 

Genesis 3:20-24 - God's Grace, Adam's Faith, Sin's Consequences

Genesis 3:20-24

Given that the man (particularly) is guilty of treason against the LORD Most High (to whom he owes his entire life & being), how is it that the full weight of God's wrath & justice does not immediately fall upon Adam?  Today's message explores the doctrines of "original sin" and "Christ's propitiatory life & death".

Genesis 3:16-19 / Judgment Upon the Woman and the Man

Genesis 3:16-19

After cursing the serpent and promising Satan's ultimate demise, the LORD God pronounces consequences upon the woman, and then upon the man, for their sin — but note, the "image of God" is not cursed.  They will still have the capacity to reflect God's image, though imperfectly -- something like a broken mirror.

Mark 4:21-34 / Three Kingdom Parables!

Mark 4:21-34

Pastor Will concludes his three part series on Jesus's parables found in Mark chapter 4.  (Note the second message was not successfully recorded.)  In today's parables Jesus teaches the listener's responsibility to "pay attention" to the parables, the supernatural growth of the kingdom, and the eventual success of the kingdom.

Mark 4:1-12: Parable of the Sower Part I

Mark 4:1-12: This is Pastor Will. I am the new associate pastor at Fellowship Church. I hope you enjoy my first sermon in this role. It is the first of three sermons on the kingdom parables. 

Genesis 3:14-15 - The Serpent's Curse

Genesis 3:14-15

The message this Sunday had two distinct "parts" with several appropriate songs in between.  Verse 14 focused on the physical serpent's curse, and verse 15 focused on Satan's curse.  Unfortunately, the message on verse 14 was not recorded successfully, so it's missing from this audio file.

Genesis 3:8-13 - Hiding in Shame Because of Sin

Genesis 3:8-13

Having disobeyed the LORD God, the man and the woman must inevitably face their Creator.  What then?

Genesis 3:1-7 - A Closer Look at The Woman's & Man's Temptation & Sin

Genesis 3:1-7

For the most part everyone *knows* the story of temptation & sin in Genesis chapter three.  But in many cases, I think there has been quite a lot of unwarranted speculation as to what was happening.  For better or worse, this is my take on the details...

Genesis 2:24-25 - Biblical Marriage

Genesis 2:24-25

Having created the man, and then the woman, the LORD God uses that very first relationship as His design & pattern (model) for for marriage -- i.e., "Therefore..."
