I want you to jump like John, shout like Elizabeth, and sing like Mary. I want your hearts to jump for joy and laugh with a deep belly laugh. I’m convinced that we don’t laugh enough. I’m convinced that we need to laugh more. And that’s my prayer. That God would fill your heart up so that you jump like John in his mother’s womb, that you would shout like Elizabeth when Mary came, and that you would sing like Mary after Elizabeth greeted her. I want you to laugh like Abraham and Sarah when Isaac was born. I want you to laugh more. And God will give it to you. Genesis 21:1-7
The Thrill of Hope - #2 - The God who Holds Us
At nights our minds can race from one thought to the next with to-dos, with regrets, with all kinds of anxious thoughts. During the day are hearts shake with fear and anxiety about many things. But our faithful and mighty God holds our anxious hearts. That’s what he did for Abraham. That is also what he’ll do for us. A sermon by Pastor Nate Bourman from Mount Lebanon on Genesis 15:1-6.
The Thrill of Hope - #1 - Stepping out in Faith
What in the world would compel a man to leave his father and mother's house, to leave his hometown and go to a place that was yet to be determined? It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. In this sermon we see a man do just that. He steps out in faith because of the promise of God. We’re going to learn from him. You’re listening to a sermon by Pastor Nate Bourman from Mount Lebanon on Genesis 12:1-9.
