Sermons from 2014
The Sovereign Shepherd (Isaiah 40:10-11)
This morning we will consider three qualities of the God we are told to behold. First, we will consider how He Comes With Might (10a). Second, we’ll see that He Comes With Reward (10b). And third, we will note how He Comes With Gentleness (11).
Herald of Good News (Isaiah 40:9)
The message of this verse is simple: The good news of the coming of our Lord is to be heralded without fear for all to hear. First, we will address the question Who are the heralds? Second, we’ll answer the question How do they herald? And third, we want to understand What do they herald?
The Glory of the Lord (Isaiah 40:3-5)
Turn in your bibles to Isaiah 40. We are continuing our Advent series titled “Prepare the Way” looking at Isaiah 40:1-11. Last week we considered verses 1-2 focusing on the subject of comfort.

The Reward of the Covenant (Genesis 15)
In Genesis 12, God called Abram and gave him several promises. By the time we come to Genesis 15, not one of those promises has been fulfilled. Abram was promised he would be great nation (which implies he would have a lot of children), and his offspring was promised a land to inherit. The problem is that Abram doesn’t have a son, nor does he have an inheritance to pass on.
First, we will look at the promise that God Gives Hope (1-6). Second, we’ll see that God Gives Assurance (7-11, 18-21). And third, we will note how God Gives Grace (12-17).
