Sermon - "Don’t Pass Over the Passover."

Old Testament Scripture - Exodus 12:1-14, Psalm 149


On the night of the first Passover meal, the Israelites were freed from bo***ge to the Egyptians. It was such a night that Moses instructed them that this day “shall be a day of remembrance for you…and you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance." One of the things that sticks out to me in this story is the fact that all the Israelites, "everyone" should be included. If someone could not afford a lamb, then they were to join another family. No one is to be left out of the meal. As Christians, we celebrate Communion to remember that we are set free from the bo***ge of sin and death. So let us follow the example of our Jewish brothers and sisters and make sure “everyone” is included at God’s table.

In Christ,

Rodney

Sermon 8/30/26 - "Overcoming Evil with Love"

New Testament Scriptures - Romans 12:9-21; 1 John 4:16b-21

We must read certain Bible verses a couple of times to make sure it said what we thought it said. Does scripture really say, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Yes. Yes, it does. In these divided days it’s very easy to return evil for evil or at the least ignore the evil. According to this scripture we cannot ignore evil, but we can only overcome evil with good. Then there is the passage in 1 John that says, “Those who say, ‘I love God’ and hate their brother or sister are liars; for those who do not love a brother or a sister…cannot love God…” Ouch!! This Christian life is not always an easy one.

In Christ,

Rodney

Sermon 8/23/26 - "It’s Ecclesiological."

New Testament Scripture - Romans 12:1-8; Matthew 16:13-20

First Jesus asked his disciples “who do people say that the Son of Man is?” After they answered, Jesus asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” In Matthew, the disciples have already acknowledged this fact. So for Matthew, this text has a deeper meaning. It is on this knowledge of who Jesus is that he will build his church. Not on sand or sinking ground but on a rock! The church will be so powerful that even the gates of Hades will not be able to prevail against it. Christ’s church was there 2,000 years ago; it is here today, and will be here until he comes again.

In Christ,

Rodney
