Living Faith - Sermons

We're starting a new sermon series to kick off 2025! In the first sermon in the series, Pastor D explores the importance God places on human work as shown to us in the Garden of Eden narrative in the book of Genesis.

Even as our dark night experiences are emotionally straining, by his word Christ shows us that our weakness has an important theological purpose: to showcase his strength in our weakness. When we internalize this word from Christ, our souls are not only healed in our troubles, but we are brought to praise. Our lament is transformed into hymns of rejoicing.

If dark nights of sin and suffering are truly grace in disguise, how do we find hope in the midst of tremendous seasons of hardship that can feel unbearable and seem meaningless?

Sin is a subject that we often want to avoid. Ignoring it may be just as big of a problem as committing it. There is great danger in ignoring sin in our lives but there is unsurpassed joy to be found in repentance.

In response to our dark night experience, Christ does not simply promise to eradicate those difficulties, but instead invites us to himself to learn from him and acquire his character in an apprentice relationship. This is an invitation to discipleship, where we take on the humble character of Christ.
