Dreamhouse | Message Of The Week

On the 11th Sunday of Ordinary time, this sermon from Romans 10:5-15 was given by Pastor Scott Crowder. Listen and hear how the faithfulness of God is for us helping us not only overcome the world but to be present with the world in crisis. God is not just right. God makes things right. God is righteous and by grace calls the Church to this right-making action for the life of the world.

On the 10th Sunday after Pentecost (also called the 9th Sunday of Ordinary Time), Pastor Scott Crowder continues a series on the book of Romans. This week we read from Romans 9:1-5 examining Paul's expression of sacrificial love for his own ethnic family, the Jewish people. This kind of love represents God's heart for all of humanity as seen in Jesus going to the cross for the sins of the world. This kind of love is how Jesus calls us to carry the burden of the world. Christians are called to follow the loving way of Jesus and to put away any feelings of superiority that might exist because of what we believe or any certainty gained by receiving God's grace and mercy. This is the sermon of the week.

No matter the season or trial we find ourselves in we can rejoice and say that thou art with me!

Often in life up is down, and down is...where we are.

On Palm Sunday, Pastor Scott Crowder discussed the prophetic expectation that surrounded Jesus as he entered Jerusalem riding on the colt of a donkey. Within a week the crowds that received Jesus would reject him. His way -- the way of truth and life -- often looks ineffective in a world that exalts the proud. Hear of Jesus' faithfulness to make all things new, keeping us even when we miss following his ways. Listen with us and be encouraged.
