Speaker: Mark Smith

There are a thousand different challenges we face as believers. It’s easy for a momentary excitement to be followed by shaken confidence. Our efforts, try as we might, can be overshadowed by inadequacy. Like us, Jesus’ disciples felt the same way after being confronted by a large hungry crowd with nothing to feed them. However, despite their lack of confidence and inadequacy, Jesus teaches us that He is faithful, sufficient, Lord, and our provider.

Here in Luke Chapter 8:40-56, we find ourselves at this capstone moment of three interconnected stories where Jesus displays his power over sickness and death. A desperate father and desperate woman find their faith fused together in the ministry of Jesus. Two stories, altogether opposite in circumstance, display the beauty of Jesus as he reveals how faith is a showcase of His action, grace, and power.

Psalm 145 is one of David’s psalms of praise, a psalm proclaiming God is great, good, gentle, and near to all his people in every area of life. But if that’s true, contempt for God and the feeling of his absence is all the more difficult to reconcile. Psalm 145 is a song for believers as it shows us God remains the same, season after season. Our praise is a result of his presence. In this Sermon from the Hallows Church, Seattle, WA

In this chapter we see that just before His arrest Jesus prayed for Himself, His Disciples and the future Church. He prayed for His people to be equipped in the Word, protected from spiritual adversity, and united love to share the gospel to the world. In this sermon from the Hallows Church in Seattle, WA

This week, we examine 2 Timothy 2:20-26. In this passage, Paul is describing the differences between honorable and dishonorable vessels. He explains that God’s people are called to serve Him (God) as special instruments of purpose, nobility, and grace and describes what that should look like when dealing with opposing people and viewpoints.
