The Cost of Discipleship | Galatians 6:17-18
God is a giver of many gifts. And what is the only reasonable response to these gifts? It is to offer ourselves back to Him through our submission under His Lordship. Pastor Ross explains the cost of following Jesus, and the many rewards that come from this obedience.
Living a Life of Repentance | Genesis 13:1-17
The story of Lot and Abram going their separate ways has a lot more going on than meets the eye. We discover how God is moving in Abram's life to bring repentance. Abram's life was one where he was learning to trust God through obedience from the heart. This what it means to live a life of repentance, where we are learning to rely not upon ourselves, but upon God's power.
A Surrendered Heart - The Story of Hannah | 1 Samuel 1-2
God is casting His eyes looking to and fro across the earth looking for someone that is committed to Him. This is a person whose heart is surrendered to God and His purposes. This describes the life of Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament. She endured a long time of unfulfilled dreams and much pain as a result. But she never lost her faith in God, and was rewarded with a part in the story of the coming Messiah.
