3951. Faith is a River That Flows

Genesis 19:1-29

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... , one also takes on a kind of ruddiness or sense of courage. When we think of pioneers, we think of people who with little to nourish them, set out into the unknown lands to make new settlements. This is very close to what many of our scripture characters did. People like Abraham, whose nomadic life caused him to settle and negotiate in order to make new life in several new and unusual places. He also had adventures with his wife Sarai doing so. Not all of them were considered safe. There is a risk factor ...

3952. Lion of Judah

Gen 49:1-28, Judges 13-15, Matt 4:12-17

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... courage to give abundantly. But everyone did it! That was part of the community spirit. But that kind of “lion” spirit permeated more than a pocketbook or wallet. The Lions Club and other charity organizations today are filled with men and women of character, men and women of kindness, compassion, and giving in other ways than money. They have the courage to speak out against wrongs. They have strength to lift each other up. They are fiercely loyal, and yet regally kind. They aren’t perfect people ...

3953. Seeing with Eyes Closed

Exodus 34:1-28, Exodus 34:29-35, John 1:1-18, Acts 9:1-19a

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... earth in unfailing love and truth. For over three years Jesus taught, healed, delivered, and raised the dead. The Holy Spirit faithfully recorded the things he said and did so that we might live in the dazzling brilliance of his being. In Jesus the nature, character, and values of the Godhead are illuminated, and in this light, we are able to interpret the Bible and life. The cross of Calvary was the spot where the lightning of God again struck the earth. The unfailing love of God the Father flashed down ...

3954. Job and the Mind Storm

Job 42:7-17, Job 42:1-6, Job 38:1--41:34

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... in our lives, in order to allow God to re-form us as the Grand Divine Potter of our lives, to fire us up into beings of breath and passion for God’s love and mercy. The metaphors in Job describe the kinds of things going on in the character’s mind and emotions, as is typical in the Hebrew scriptures. As powerful as these forces are, they are no match for God, whose voice is more powerful still. And who can still any of our storms with one Word and presence. The voice, wind, breath of God combines ...

3955. Ask Jacob!

Matthew 6:25-34, Genesis 25:19-34

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... generations, and his role as head of family and tribe. Esau is only interested in immediate gratification. But the responsibility of the firstborn son requires patience, endurance, wisdom, and commitment to the covenant relationship and all that it requires. Esau’s character is much as the name given him in the scriptures suggest. He is to be called “Edom” –the one who boils over, impulsive, self-serving, focused on material things, distracted easily by that which self-satisfies in the short shrift ...

3956. The Neverending Feast

1 Kings 17:7-24

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... idleness (Proverbs 31:27) or the bread of adversity (Isaiah 30:20). Or you can take within you the bread of sincerity and truth (1 Corinthians 5:7-8 or Luke 11:3). Bread from God contains the kind of nutrients that creates in us a richness of character, a pureness of heart, and a saltiness of our spirit. The “bread from heaven” given to us by God is in a sense God’s relational presence, the blessings God bestows upon and within us, the righteous heart God etches upon us, the right spirit God breathes ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... source of Israel’s strength and heritage, made mistakes. Being human is not about being perfect. But about loving God with a faith and a resolve that is enduring and steady, firm and unchanging, despite our failings. Today, we read about some of the “strongest” characters in scripture –Samson and Peter. And while we may admire Samson’s hero-like physique, his strength, we learn, was not in his physical attributes but in his faith in God to redeem him and renew him when he failed. For God is the ...

3958. The Pardoning of Jezebel

Mark 7:24-30, 1 Kings 9:10-28

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... . And a group to be disciples. Huddle together and give them roles and explain what they need to act out.] Jesus begins the encounter by responding in the way he knows his disciples would expect him to as a good “Jew.” He challenges her character and her ethnicity. But pay attention. Jesus just had this argument with the Pharisees and his disciples in Israel. He has no intention of meaning this phrase. Jesus has something else in mind that will shock the living daylights out of his disciples. When Jesus ...

3959. The Thorny Price of Perfidy

Esther 3:1-15

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... even when in the midst of a thorny thicket of hate, not unlike the world some Christians find themselves in today. The story takes place in Persia, when King Ahersuerus was ruling (some believe this is the reign of Xerxes). Its thorny main character is the seemingly loyal and upright (but secretly duplicitous) citizen of the realm, Haman, whose name means unrest, noise, or tumult. And its “heroine” is a young, beautiful woman named Esther, whose name means “the myrtle flower.” As you can see…..the ...

3960. Look At Your Fixations!

Deuteronomy 26:1-15

Sermon

Carl Jech

... in common parlance as a fixation or an obsession. The Israelites are reminded over and over again to fix their attention on the history of their liberation and their enjoyment of the promised land. The very name "Deuteronomy" highlights the "fixation" character of the Israelite preoccupation with the story of the Exodus, the giving of The Law and the entry into the promised land. Deutero means "second" (that which is repeated). Nomos means "law." The bOok of Deuteronomy is a repetition, reaffirmation and ...

3961. The Phrase We Never Want to Hear

John 20:19-23, John 20:24-31

Sermon

King Duncan

... ! There is no way we could live the mission of Jesus with our own skills and charisma. Jesus gives us something so much more: the power of the Holy Spirit living in us. The Holy Spirit comforts us, strengthens us, teaches us the truths of God, and grows our character to be more like Jesus. The Holy Spirit in us assures us that we are never alone in our difficult times. That same Holy Spirit reminds us that God will work all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His ...

... are Exhibit A of Jesus Christ. Like it or not. The burden of that is staggering; the blessing is wonderful.” (4) If we are Exhibit A of Jesus Christ, what is our witness in our family? In our community? In the world? Do people see and experience the character and the blessings and the message of God when they look at us? If that question doesn’t make us want to stop right now and pray fervently for God’s power and guidance, then nothing will. The second essential step if we are to be his witnesses is ...

Genesis 1:1-2:3

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... is more killing. All of us know in the deepest corner of our hearts that good is the only power stronger than evil, and that compassion is the power that changes a darkened heart. In the most recent Star Wars movie, the “Rise of Skywalker,” we see the characters of both Rey and Kylo Ren struggling with who they are, with the good and dark forces that lie within each of them. But in the end, how they act and who they are does not depend on their biology, their heritage, their race, or their power, but ...

It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. . . . Great necessities call out great virtues.

Abigail Adams

These are times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or in the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues.

Abigail Adams

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

Abraham Lincoln

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.

Aeschylus

Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

Aesop

Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.

Albert Einstein

One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.

Albert Einstein

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

Albert Einstein

The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.

Albert Schweitzer

If a man's character is to be abused, there's nobody like a relative to do the business.

Alexander Pope

When you believe in God, you've got to believe in the all-powerful God. He's not just God; He's the all-powerful God and He has total control over everyone's life. The Devil, on the other hand, is a real character that's trying his hardest to tear your life apart.

Alice Cooper

The more consistent a father can be or a mentor can be in the person's life and teach them principles of real solid manhood, character, integrity and leadership, the more consistent you can be in the person's life and teach them those things at a younger age, and then the better off they'll be.
