God's Way With Unbelief
The Promise to a Barren Land
Isaiah 54:1-3
Matthew Raley (11/30/08)
| Unbelief is a result of hardening in sin. In the next four sermons, we will see how the thread of spiritual barrenness runs through the scriptures. |
Barren and Without a Name
Judges 13
Matthew Raley (12/07/08)
| Faith is founded on a different judgment of who God is. As we continue our study of barren women, the promise of God, and the sin of unbelief, we now look at a woman who is never named. |
Barren in the Midst of Despair
1 Samuel 1
Matthew Raley (12/14/08)
| The hardest time to believe God may be when everyone around you is living for themselves.
We have talked about unbelief resulting from the apparent impossibility of what God says, and from a deep ignorance of what God says. In this sermon we look at another kind of unbelief, that resulting from despair because of sin.

Barren No More
Luke 1:5-25
Matthew Raley (12/21/08)
| The purposes of God are constant. As we have seen, the Christmas story begins in Genesis. In this sermon we see that Zachariah and Mary are as different as could be, but none of the advantages Zachariah has lead him to faith. |
Baptism and Your Identity
Acts 8:26-40
Matthew Raley (12/28/08)
| Baptism is a preeminent feature of the New Testament. The sense of identity to the Israelites was a high barrier against following Jesus. They understood how deep it is to change your identity. In this sermon we see that the scriptures are calling you to become a new person. Change your identity. Be baptized. |
