In this flashback to March 29, 2022, we see King David, having been richly blessed by God, wanting to build a better dwelling for God's presence. Even the prophet Nathan thought that God would surely approve. As is often the case, God had different plans. Faithfulness is often a matter of seeing and taking the next right step, not knowing where God might lead us.

The Apostle John spoke often and eloquently about love. He spoke about love so much that there are church traditions that say he refused to talk about anything else! And why not? If God is love, then what else could show more clearly that we have encountered and been changed by God?

Jesus loves us unconditionally, so why does he say that we must obey his commands? Is God's grace conditional? Or is the demand that we hear is actually more of an invitation? An opportunity more than an obligation?

What is love? God's love is patient, kind, not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demanding, irritable, and keeps no record of wrongs. It rejoices when the truth wins; it never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. God's love is so unlike all other loves and we must experience it so we might begin to share it with others!

God's agape love -- the first fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) -- is so different from all the other kinds of love that we might experience. Not only is it so much different, it is so much better! But in order to understand it and share it with others, we must first receive it ourselves. It is a fruit of the Spirit, not our own efforts!

Sermon #1 of Highrock's summer sermon series ("Flavor: Taste of the Fruit of the Spirit") from 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 NIV
-
This flashback to March 8, 2022, brings us back to a discussion about the core of the Gospel. Ancient Greek culture found it easy to believe in the immortality of the soul but incredibly hard to believe in the resurrection of the body. Despite their difficulties, Paul is clear -- the resurrection of Jesus' physical body is the core of the good news and central to our hope.

We all seek to control life and secure its outcomes through the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, power, or even wisdom. Instead, the Teacher counsels us to entrust our lives to God in faithfulness. What are the ways you are tempted to trust in yourself rather than in the Lord? What are the lessons and questions you will continue to carry with you?

In light of our mortality, the Teacher dispenses with wisdom for both young and old. Each stage has blessings for us but our destiny with death should remind us that we each will have to account for the choices we make. Love life, but live for more than just this life!

The Teacher explains that we should not just hold onto our treasures. Instead, we should 1) invest, 2) diversify, 3) read the signs, 4) act now, and 5) work hard. No doubt, these are wise financial guidelines, but is there a deeper spiritual principle as well?

Sermon #5 of Highrock's summer sermon series ("Dual Citizens: Living Between Two Kingdoms") from Rom 14:1-10

This flashback from March 23, 2022 was part of our Lent series. Abraham's original name was Abram and in those early days, he struggled to trust and believe God. God assured Abram by making a covenant -- literally, cutting a deal with him. This same deal is the covenant that is offered to us today through what Jesus accomplished on the cross.

A little foolishness can ruin a lot of wise choices -- especially when that foolishness comes from our leaders! How can we live wisely under unwise leaders? The Teacher explores the path that wisdom carves through such unpredictable times.

Wisdom can be more powerful than invading armies, yet wisdom can also be easily ignored or forgotten. What should we do in response to this paradox? We must seek to listen to the often quiet voice of wisdom, and also ask why we seek wisdom at all. If we want to be appreciated, we will likely be disappointed. Thankfully, there is a much deeper reason to seek wisdom!

We are not in control. The Teacher reminds us that death overtakes us all, and even in life, chance often determines the course of our lives. How can we live meaningfully in such a world? Do we feel as if God owes us something more? It is sometimes a step of faith to let go of control and simply enjoy what God has given to us.

The raw pursuit of pleasure obviously led to bad places but the pursuit of wisdom also seems to lead to a dead-end. The Teacher explains that wisdom never seems to secure true justice, and true understanding seems always out of reach. Is there a better way?

Sermon #4 of Highrock's summer sermon series ("Dual Citizens: Living Between Two Kingdoms") from Rom 12:9-21
-
This flashback from March 24, 2022 was part of our Lent series. Why would God ask Abraham to sacrifice his son, and then stop him just as he was raising the knife? Almost 2,000 years later, God would provide for us on that very mountain through the sacrifice, not of Abraham's son, but of his own son, Jesus!

What if we serve under an authority that is unwise or even ungodly? The Teacher's first reason to submit to such authorities is because of our submission to God, the ultimate authority. The Teacher assures us that wickedness will fall and the wise will find a way to do what is right, and at the right time.

Rather than bringing clarity, wisdom sometimes leaves us with riddles and paradoxes. In the midst of this struggle, the Teacher begins to hint at a truth that will emerge more fully later -- that faithfulness is greater than wisdom, or at the very least, there is no true wisdom outside of faithfulness to the Lord.
