Everybody has some advice and some wisdom for us moving into the new year. And I’ve got something to say. I’ve got some wisdom too. Some wisdom from Solomon about how to find meaning, purpose and even joy in the new year.
Listen in as Pastor Bourman unpacks Psalm 127:1-2 and shares wisdom from God with us for our new year.
It’s Christmas and it is, as the songs say, the most wonderful time of year, the time when we remember how the extraordinary became ordinary, how the Creator joined the ranks of the created. There are plenty of reasons to sing and shout for joy to the Lord. And yet it is so easy to sing our way through Christmas and lose our awe and miss the glory of all that’s happening.
Listen in as Pastor Bourman pulls back the veil to show us what God did at Christmas.
When God breaks into our life and calls us to follow, it can be a scary, disturbing and frustrating thing. All of our plans get tossed to the side as we are called to give up everything to him in following him. But God breaks in with grace, with power, and even with himself to calm our hearts. He says, “Fear not.” Listen in as Pastor Bourman shows us how God breaks in and displaces fear with faith and gives us peace. We’re looking at Luke 1:26-38.
The trouble and disappointments of this life can easily make us begin to think God has given up on us. Along with Zechariah, our sight is set back on the greater things - the gracious promises of God to rescue us from sin and bring us peace and joy through our Savior. And so we see that God hasn't given up on us, instead, he's given us himself. Listen in as Pastor Bublitz teaches us to set our sights on the grace of God. This is a sermon on Luke 1:5-24.
