Fellowship Bible Church Sermons | Palmyra, WI

Our Advent study through Psalm 48 continues. But whereas the first 8 verses are teaching us about God, this section turns toward thinking about God for ourselves. The Psalmist invites us to join him in understanding and applying truths about God in the context of His steadfast love. And he shows us how.Photo by Filipe Nobre on Unsplash Permalink

Our Advent study through Psalm 48 continues with another vision and a declaration. Instead of the joyous ascent of Mount Zion, we see the attack of that city by God’s enemies. God’s overwhelming victory conveys the truth given in verse 8: our God, our fortress, will be our fortress forever.Photo by Filipe Nobre on Unsplash Permalink

Our Advent study through Psalm 48 begins with a vision and a declaration: God has made Himself known as a Fortress.What does this mean? Why does it matter to us? What does it have to do with Jesus?Jesus is God, the Great King, and a Fortress for us. There is hope in no other Name.Photo by Filipe Nobre on Unsplash Permalink

(On this, a Testimony Sunday, consider this sermon a pre-Testimony Sunday recruiting pitch;)Perhaps far-and-away the most common command in Scripture is the oft-overlooked little word, “Behold!”At every turn, throughout the Bible, the LORD God, Jesus Christ, and, by the Spirit, all the authors of Scripture, are calling to us to “Pay attention.”Pay attention to your life. Pay attention to what God is doing, where He is working, with you. Permalink

The writings of John, perhaps more than any other biblical author, changed my theology and my approach to life and ministry. Very simple, as John teaches that God is Jesus—Jesus reveals the truth about who God is—so he also teaches that, as we consider in this sermon, Life is Grace.Because God is Jesus, Life is Grace.Photo by Umberto on Unsplash Permalink
