10/11 Finding Order in Chaos. Luke 24:1-11. [Please Note: This sermon was originally presented June 7, 2020 during Covid and in the wake of the rioting in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd.] In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, rioting, looting, destruction, and death ensued. Many had a hard time understanding and making sense of it. It begs the question, “How do you bring order out of the confusion and chaos that happens in life?” How do you make sense out of nonsense? There are three possibilities and all three are illustrated in the response of Jesus’ Disciples to the chaotic events leading up to and including Jesus’ crucifixion. From this passage Pastor Barry will bring clarity as we all try to make sense out of the nonsense in our lives.

10/18 The Truly Happy Person. Psalm l. Throughout Psalms there is the contrast between the wise man and the foolish man. We tend to associate wisdom with knowledge, but the opposite of wisdom is not ignorance, it’s foolishness. The person who does not have time for God in his life is a fool, that is the premise upon which the Psalms are built. In Psalm One we have a portrait of a happy, wise person. We see his character, what his life is built upon and what his life is like. In the first three verses, the “wise/blessed/happy” man is described. The last three verses contrast that person with the person who is not blessed.

10/25 Reaching Your Full Potential. Psalm 8. The most important question in life is, ” What do you think of Christ? ” The second most important question is found in verse 4 of Psalm 8, “What is man that you are mindful of him? ” God’s answer asserts that He created us to have dominion, to be royalty. That was His intent, but something went awry.
Sin has dethroned and defiled God’s creation. How can it be restored? More specifically how can we live up to our full potential? Pastor Barry shares the answer found in this Psalm.

11/1 The Life that Excels. Psalm 36. This psalm contrasts human wickedness at its worst and divine goodness at its best – what people claim will make you happy and what God says will make you happy. Innumerable voices are clamoring to convey their message of what it takes to excel in life, but in this Psalm Pastor Barry shares three things the Psalmist says are necessary to understand… the futility of sin, the fullness of salvation, and the faithfulness of the Savior. This Psalm is a reminder that we can and must trust God. Don’t allow a place for evil in your life. God will not short-change you. You will be satisfied with prosperity, and He will allow you to drink from the rivers of pleasure.
