Hot Topics - Why do Good People Suffer

8/14/2022

0 Comments

 
We are finishing up our Hot Topics series today, for the last six week we looking at six tough topics that people inside and outside the church often think about (even if we don't ask about them out loud!).

Today we look at the topic of suffering. If God is all-good and all-powerful, why is there so much evil and suffering in the world? God is working his long game of redemption. Our hope is in trusting the character of the God who made us and loves us.

​I hope that we'll see that God is present with us, just as he has been present with creation all along. God feels our grief and carries our burdens; we can find comfort in a trusting relationship with the one who went to the cross for us and will ultimately wipe every tear from our eyes.

Hot Topics - Is Jesus really the Only Way to Heaven?

8/7/2022

0 Comments

 
Sermons from Waverly First Baptist Church, Waverly, NY.  This week we continue our series on Hot Topics, those tough topics that people inside and outside the church often think about (even if we don't talk about them out loud).  This week we try to answer the question, "Is Jesus really the only way to heaven?"

How can Christianity claim there is only one way to God? God has opened a doorway to fellowship with him—and it is open to everyone and all creation.

Through our radical love, service, and kindness, we can live out the good news of Jesus and show others the door God has opened.

Doesn't Science Prove Religion False?

7/31/2022

0 Comments

 
What is the relationship between faith and science? Faith and science are not opposing disciplines. Throughout history, Christians have often been the greatest proponents of scientific discovery, using their intellect to worship God.

We should love God with all our minds, allowing faith and science to be in mutually beneficial conversation together.

Hot Topics:  Abortion

7/24/2022

This week we continue our series titled Hot Topics, where we're looking at some of those topics that people inside and outside the church often think about (even if we don’t ask about them out loud!).

​This week's topic is abortion. What does God think about abortion? In the eyes of God the Creator, all creation—and all human life—is valuable.  But we'll also see that being pro-life is about more than abortion. As believers, we should live in a way that honors the dignity of all humans, regardless of political policy or societal norms.

Hot Topics:  Hypocrisy

6/26/2022

0 Comments

 
Today we start a new sermon series titled Hot Topics. This series examines six tough topics that people inside and outside the church often think about (even if we don’t ask about them out loud!): If Christians really love Jesus, why is there so much hurt in the church? How can we trust the Bible? What’s the relationship between faith and science? Is abortion wrong? Is Jesus really the only way? Why is there suffering and evil in the world? These are hard questions without easy answers, but Scripture helps us navigate them with wisdom, grace, and intelligence.

​Today we look at the problem of hypocrisy. If Christians really love Jesus, why is there so much hurt in the church? Jesus confronted the hypocrisy of religious people and desires that his disciples walk in love. It's only when we stop pretending the church is perfect can we invite Jesus to conform us more and more to his image.

The Book of James, wk 6

5/30/2022

0 Comments

 
Today we conclude our series on the book of James. We've been examining the book of James, a letter that serves as a how-to manual for the Christian life. When we deal with trials, contentions, and lack of faith, James teaches us that we can still have joy in the midst of our circumstances. The foundation of the book is the importance of faith; faith or the lack thereof can determine the direction of one’s life.

​Today, we see that the Lord meets specific needs through the body of Christ. We must continually do our part in praying, serving, and confessing to our brothers and sisters.

The Book of James, wk. 5

​​Today we continue our new series on the book of James. This covers the book of James, a letter that serves as a how-to manual for the Christian life. When we deal with trials, contentions, and lack of faith, James teaches us that we can still have joy in the midst of our circumstances. The foundation of the book is the importance of faith; faith or the lack thereof can determine the direction of one’s life.

​Today, we see the second of James' test to see our authentic our faith really is. Last week we looked at how well we controlled our tongues, this we look how well we control our wealth. How we handle our money is a pretty indicator of our faithfulness.
