Starn

Check your sin

Life is difficult, but we must search for joy in all our circumstances. We must be careful not to find what we think is joy in the world around us, because it is the joy of the Lord that is our strength. And that joy is found in Jesus Christ alone.

This sermon, from Isaiah 62, explores the question of life's meaning and emphasizes the importance of surrendering to Jesus Christ. When we trust in Christ, we are no longer defined by our past but we are given a new name, "Hiphzibah," which means "My delight is in her." God passionately loves and commits to never forsake His people. We must renew our devotion to the Church, the Bride of Christ, which is God's chosen vessel for spreading joy and the Gospel. In these later days, we should be active involvement in the Church, persistent prayer for the advancement of the Gospel, and unwavering dedication to the work of the Church.

Why is it so hard to change?

Are you being a discipler?

Don't let your heart be hardened.

While the world has many amazing things, the new Zion that awaits us will surpass them all. Christ is gathering the nations in His glorious light for the eternal glory of Zion will be His people.

Who are you really?

It is a challenge today to know who you can trust in this uncertain world. The degradation of trust is mostly caused by the increase of human depravity in our world. We are all sinners and have been sinners throughout history. There was only one person who never sinned, and He is our only hope.

The world can be very seductive.

Our purpose

What story are you writing in other people's lives?

Do people know whose you are?

Does your heart burn to know the truth?

Is Jesus weeping for the church today?

Today's modern society has largely forgotten the Sabbath, replacing it with busyness and productivity, often resulting in emotional exhaustion and spiritual malnourishment. The Sabbath rest is to be a time to delight in God, find peace, and cultivate meaningful relationships. And while we are no longer bound to the law, the old covenant, the heart behind Sabbath observance remains relevant. On our Sabbath we need to find joy in the Lord, prioritize rest, and allow the Sabbath to lead to a deeper connection with God and a foretaste of eternity.

Missing God's Glory

Do you have a child-like faith?

Who are you judging?

The church is meant to be a model home for the Kingdom of God in the world and in the future. What kind of church best reflects God an effectively draws people to Christianity? It is not size, but faithfulness that matters. Our rituals, worship, and religious practices should flow from a transformed heart and manifest in acts of kindness and service to others. Our goal as Christians should be to shine as a light in the darkness, guiding and impacting lives, rebuilding what is broken, and being true representatives of God's kingdom on Earth.
