    Fear God, Not Pharaoh (Exodus 1:15-21)

    Pharaoh ordered Shiphrah and Puah, two Hebrew midwives, to kill every baby boy the moment he was born. They refused, and when Pharaoh confronted them, they lied to his face without apology. These were two women with no army, no political standing, and everything to lose, standing up to the most powerful man in the world. God blessed them for it, and the very population Pharaoh tried to destroy kept growing. Their story raises a question every generation has to answer: what do we do when human authority demands something God forbids? We must fear God more than the people who can hurt us, and let him handle the consequences.

    Come and See the Risen Lord

    Jesus invited Thomas to come and see his wounded hands and side. Upon seeing, Thomas declared, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus commended his faith, but also commended our faith, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John, the author of the book then revealed this is why he wrote this book, to invite all of us to come and see the risen Lord, so we too can have faith. We need to both accept the invitation, but also extend the invitation, so that others can have life in his name.

    Come and See the One Who Knows You

    Many assumptions are made about the Samaritan woman. People assume she was rejected by her community as a sinner. However, it is just as likely, perhaps more likely, that the woman was a victim of the men in her life. Men who used her, but never really knew her. Rather than being a sinful woman, John portrayed her as a woman of great spiritual insight. After encountering Jesus, her invitation to others was simple, “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did.” Jesus saw her and knew her. This same invitation is valid today, come see a man who knows you and loves you.  (John 4:27-42)

    Come & See the Son of God

    Who is Jesus, really? The first disciples all had questions, and even objections, about the identity of Jesus. Rather than being argued into faith, they were simply invited to “Come and see.” Through their encounters with Jesus, they all came to believe that he really is the Son of God. This chapter is both an invitation to us, as well as a commission. We are all invited to “come and see,” and then commissioned to invite others. (John 1:35-41)

    Words that Hurt, Words that Heal

    James closed his letter with instructions about words. Don't swear oaths; let your yes be yes. When you suffer, pray. When you're cheerful, sing. When you're sick, call the elders. Confess your sins to one another, because the prayer of a righteous person has great power. Our words can wound, but James shows a better way. Words of honesty, prayer, and confession can heal, and can even bring a wanderer home.  (James 5:12-20)  Sermon Slides

    The Trouble with a Big Mouth

    James quoted the confident talk of merchants: “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town, do business, and make a profit.” They spoke as if they controlled the future, but James reminded them their lives were a mist that appears for a little while and vanishes. We make the same speeches about our plans and careers. Humble people say, “If the Lord wills,” and mean it. (James 4:13-17) Sermon Slides

    Out of Both Sides of Your Mouth

    James said the tongue is like a bit in a horse's mouth, a ship's rudder, and a spark that sets a forest on fire. His readers blessed God in worship and then cursed people made in God's likeness. He pointed out that fresh water and salt water cannot flow from the same spring. We recognize the problem; our Sunday words and our everyday words often sound like two different people.

    Don't Tell Me, Show Me

    (James 2:14-26)  James imagined a believer who saw a brother without clothes or food and said, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” but did nothing. He called that faith dead. Even the demons believe God is one, and they shudder. Abraham and Rahab were counted righteous because their faith acted. It is easy to confuse agreeing with God for trusting God. Faith that saves is faith that moves.
