Sermons on Trust

“Enemies Within and Without” – Psalm 31:9-16

Main thoughts: Last time we looked at David entrusting himself to God in the midst of his trials. This week we will be looking at verses 9-18 as David describes his current conditions. Every child of God can relate to some aspect of what David is going through. Grief (9-10) David cries out to God in the midst of his struggles. He is in trouble and distressed. Although he does not provide details a large part of David’s current trials…

God Keeps His Promises (John 19:17-42)

The Mystery of Providence (John 11:1-37)

So often we read the Bible through a religious or spiritual lens and miss the truth that is in front of us. We overly spiritualize things and miss the plain reading of the text. In this passage, a close friend of Jesus dies. It is a passage dealing with intense pain, suffering, loss, death, and a host of human emotions and experiences. If we read the story of Lazarus in this light we will find many truths that will help…
