As we look into the new year, it tends to to be a time of reflection and planning. What do you do with your failures? After Jesus resurrection, He finds Peter on a beach. In this interaction, an amazing truth is revealed. Our failures don’t keep Jesus away from us, actually they are the very reason He came and He works through them.
Sermon Points:
At first glance, Ecclesiastes appears to be in our Bibles only to turn its readers into cynics, skeptics, depressed individuals or perhaps some mix of all three). Can there be wisdom—and perhaps even joy—to be found in this odd (and oddly named) Old Testament book?
Taught by Brian Sorgenfrei & Les Newsom. Meets in the CPC sanctuary every Sunday at 9:45am.
Scripture Reference: Matthew 13:1-23
The worldwide hero spent a lot of time teaching and his disciples claim this hero has the words of life. Why then is it often so difficult to listen to Jesus? The parable of the sower in Matthew 13 is one of Jesus’ explanation for why He is dismissed, ignored and rejected. The problem is the condition of our hearts.
