“What is Wisdom Worth?” Proverbs 3:13-35 April 19, 2020 Pastor Nathan Currey  Sermon Application [file]  ----more---- Proverbs 3:13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,     and the one who gets understanding,14 for the gain from her is better than gain from silver     and her profit better than gold.15 She is more precious than jewels,     and nothing you desire can compare with her.16 Long life is in her right hand;     in her left hand are riches and honor.17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,     and all her paths are peace.18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;     those who hold her fast are called blessed. 19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;     by understanding he established the heavens;20 by his knowledge the deeps broke open,     and the clouds drop down the dew. 21 My son, do not lose sight of these—     keep sound wisdom and discretion,22 and they will be life for your soul     and adornment for your neck.23 Then you will walk on your way securely,     and your foot will not stumble.24 If you lie down, you will not be afraid;     when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror     or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes,26 for the Lord will be your confidence     and will keep your foot from being caught.27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,     when it is in your power to do it. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,     tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.29 Do not plan evil against your neighbor,     who dwells trustingly beside you.30 Do not contend with a man for no reason,     when he has done you no harm.31 Do not envy a man of violence     and do not choose any of his ways,32 for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,     but the upright are in his confidence.33 The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,     but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.34 Toward the scorners he is scornful,     but to the humble he gives favor. 35 The wise will inherit honor,     but fools get disgrace.    Wisdom Is More Valuable than Anything You Can Desire (13-18)   The LORD Made All Things with Wisdom (19-20)   The Wise Son Benefits from Wisdom (21-26)   Wise Warnings Concerning Your Neighbors (27-33)   Wisdom Is Motivated by Grace (34-35)

"The Ultimate Game Changer" Matthew 28:1-10 April 12, 2020 Pastor Tony Felich Sermon Application [file]----more----  Matthew 28:1 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. [2] And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. [3] His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. [4] And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. [5] But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. [6] He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. [7] Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” [8] So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. [9] And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. [10] Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” The Resurrection of Jesus Christ completely transforms every aspect of our existence.   The Resurrection of Christ rectifies our past.   The Resurrection of Christ empowers us now.   The Resurrection of Christ secures our future

“God’s Plans are Better than Ours”  Mark 11:1-11 April 5, 2020 Pastor Tony Felich  Sermon Application [file] ----more----  Mark 11:1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples [2] and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. [3] If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” [4] And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. [5] And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” [6] And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. [7] And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. [8] And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. [9] And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! [10] Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” [11] And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

[14] For the body does not consist of one member but of many.   Ephesians 2:18-22 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. [19] So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, [20] built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, [21] in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. [22] In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.   We are joined to grow in God’s grace.   Ephesians 3:14-21 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, [15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, [16] that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, [17] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, [18] may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, [19] and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.   We are joined to support one another.   Galatians 6:1-4 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. [2] Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.   We are joined to spur one another on.   Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, [25] not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

March 8, 2020 Pastor Tony Felich  Sermon Application [file]  ----more---- Redeemer Mission/Vision Series (Four Parts) Foundation verses for RPC’s Mission/Vision: Matthew 28:18-20/Colossians 1:28-29   Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. [19] Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

Proclamation: We want to share Christ with everyone.   Today’s focus: 2 Timothy 3:14-17, Hebrews 4:12 Part 2: The Bible is our Rule for Faith and Life 2 Timothy 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it [15] and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. [16] All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, [17] that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.   What is the Bible?   What place does the Bible have in the Church?   What place does the Bible have in our lives?
