Family is everything…? | Sermon on 1 Samuel 2:27-36

People sometimes say “family is everything”. But what does the Bible say about how we should see families? In this passage we see both the importance of families, but also how families shouldn’t come before God. We are warned not to take our salvation for granted but make sure that we are seeking to live by faith every day.

We’re not entitled to God’s mercy | Lamentations 5 Sermon

In this sobering sermon on Lamentations 5, we are reminded that God’s mercy is not something we deserve—it is a gift extended only to the truly penitent. In a world where entitlement often distorts our view of grace, this message calls us back to a biblical understanding of repentance, humility, and gratitude. Discover the two key truths at the heart of this message:

  • Our sin is deeply offensive to God. We are, as the hymn Man of Sorrows declares, “guilty, vile, and helpless.” True sorrow for sin—not presumption—must mark our approach to Him.
  • God graciously forgives the penitent. When we come to Him with genuine repentance, we find not condemnation, but forgiveness, joy, and the strength to live lives of grateful obedience.

If you’re seeking a deeper understanding of God’s mercy, the seriousness of sin, and the transforming power of true repentance, this sermon will challenge and encourage you.
