Highland Oaks Sermon Podcast Pat Bills

Join us as we explore a crucial moment in the story of Israel’s hardship in Egypt. While the king of Egypt made a sinister command, the Hebrew midwives spoke truth to power and made way for the birth of Moses and the deliverance of a nation.

This morning we venture back into Genesis and take notice of the faithfulness of Sarah. We look at her abiding trust in the midst of laughable circumstances while providing the doorway for God’s mission to “all the families” on the earth.

We begin a new series by receiving a word of encouragement from our mentor, Paul, who reminds his young protege, Timothy, of his faithfulness. But Timothy’s faithfulness was not grounded in his own efforts but in the story of the faithful service of a mother and grandmother. Join us as we begin to explore the value and importance of the “faith of our mothers” and remind ourselves of God’s witness through the voice of women throughout the story of scripture.

We conclude our series this morning by looking at the “beautiful mess” of the church. Join us as we venture into the life and times of Paul’s churches and realize how diverse and difficult life in this story can be.

It has been said that, “the story of Jesus is the fulfillment of what God has been saying from the very beginning.” So this morning we unpack the word of God made flesh and how the arrival of the Son is a continuation of the work of the Father and the Spirit.

When God chooses to move into the brokenness of the world, God chooses to move by making a relational covenant with people. From Noah to Abraham and from Moses to David, God is always making promises of relational wholeness. Join us as we explore the arc of these covenants and how we are invited to join the promise.
