Portraits of Grace

Rahab: The Transforming Power of Grace

Speaker Phil Congdon

Tamar, the first woman listed in the genealogy of Jesus, playing the role of a prostitute one time. Rahab, the second woman listed, ran a brothel! Have we gone from bad to worse? No. God's just showing us what's possible when a life is touched by grace.

Scripture: Matthew 1:1-5; Joshua 2, 6:22-25; Heb. 11:31; James 2:25

Portraits of Grace

Tamar's Redemption: From Crisis to Christ

Speaker Phil Congdon

This Christmas we're going back, way back, to four Old Testament women in Jesus' family tree. Matthew's genealogy of Jesus records them for us - four unlikely women, who exhibit through their lives God's redemptive purpose in sending Jesus to this world.

Scripture: Genesis 38, Matthew 1:1-3a

Second Thessalonians

A Warning and A Wish (No Recording available)

Speaker Phil Congdon

Paul's at the end of his letter to the Thessalonian Christians, but he has two final things to say. One is a warning, the other a wish. But together they reflect Paul's overriding goal for them: Walk worthy!

Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:14-18

Second Thessalonians

Work While You Wait

Speaker Phil Congdon

Jesus is coming, but we don't know when. An issue that came up in Thessalonica and still matters today, was 'What do we do while we wait?' Some decided to shift their lives into neutral and do nothing. Bad Idea. This is our time... time to work.

Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13

Second Thessalonians

Prayer for Fruit and Faithfulness in Difficult Days

Speaker Phil Congdon

The end is near, but difficult days lie ahead. Christians are suffering, and need encouragement. Paul requests prayer for the apostles, then expresses prayerful confidence that God will protect them in trying days. There is much here for us as we face these difficult last days.

Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5

Second Thessalonians

Stand Firm and Take Comfort

Speaker Phil Congdon

In 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Paul writes about a time of great evil and terrible judgment that is coming on the earth. All unbelievers who are alive will go through it. How should Christians respond to this truth? We learn this morning that we should stand firm, and take comfort.

Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

Second Thessalonians

How to Know the Day of the Lord Has Come

Speaker Phil Congdon

Are we living in the last days? The COVID pandemic, advances in technology, threats of war and famine, and a rise in lawlessness all remind us of biblical prophecies. But to keep us from getting ahead of ourselves, Paul 'fills in the blanks' on what happens first.

Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Second Thessalonians

When the Roll is Called Up Yonder

Speaker Phil Congdon

We hear a lot about 'justice' today, but the harder we try to achieve it, the more we fail! In a world shrouded in sin, Christians look for Jesus' return. When He comes, His righteous judgment will render rewards and retribution to every person.

Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12

Second Thessalonians

Counted Worthy Through Suffering

Speaker Phil Congdon

One of the joys of parenthood is pride when our kids achieve great success. Paul's 'kids' - believers in Christ in Thessalonica, were a source of pride to him: They stood strong despite persecution. And as a result, they would be 'counted worthy of the kingdom of God.'

Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1:1-5
