Cadiz Presbyterian Church

During this time of Advent, we should remember the great hope for the Messiah that was present within the hearts of old Israel throughout the generations: the hope that the seed of Jesse will rule over all the nations and the child of Eve will one day crush the serpent's head. The hope that had been placed in the Messiah was indeed worthwhile and exists as a present reality for us today. When we 21st century believers look around and observe death, despair, and evil forces, we can instead look to God like one looks toward an evergreen tree in the midst of the decay of winter. It's hope stands eternal--a locus of vibrancy and life amidst a backdrop of death. That is our hope forever. Amen.

We can give thanks to God by revealing His love to others.

What does it mean to stay in step with the Holy Spirit?

The topic of this sermon is Romans 9, a very difficult portion of Scripture. When dissecting Romans 9, Chase discusses (1) key terms Paul utilizes (elect–children of the promise–and so on and so forth), (2) Paul's personal history and unique experiences that give light and insight into his words, (3) the idea of a “New Israel” which extends beyond the previous idea of an ethnic race, (4) the concept of God handpicking individuals with whom He wishes to spend eternity, (5) the fairness of God's authorship–choosing some and not others, (6) and lastly, the implications there in. The viewer should be (1) humbled; we are not the cause of either others salvation or our own. Second, one should (2 ) trust, worship, and adore God for His sovereign choosing and authorial power on the basis of His revealed qualities which are GOOD. Lastly, the believer should be motivated to (3) evangelize, knowing that God not only appoints who will be saved but also the means of salvation.

Sometimes there is no safe place, there is only our faith to hold on to.

Through these examples, the sermon emphasizes the importance of commitment, the power of God's Spirit, and the freedom found in following Christ.
