The Folly of Atheism

Rev. Jerry Hamstra
December 16, 2012
Sermons

This Psalm teaches that the great problem in the world is that people have rejected the God of the Bible. There is a connection between the fact that people have turned away from God and the wickedness and misery in the world. The hope for the world is in the salvation that the Psalmist longs for and that has come in Jesus Christ.

Knowing the Father

Rev. Jerry Hamstra
December 9, 2012
Sermons

Jesus teaches that to see him is to see the Father. The desire to connect with the transcendent is a deep human desire. Many seek to satisfy that desire through various forms of idolatry. God has revealed himself supremely through Christ that we might know him.

Rev. Jerry Hamstra

Sermons

As a meal, part of the symbolism of the Lord’s Supper is that believers are nourished. This sermon explores what its means to eat Christ’s flesh and drink his blood by faith and how we are spiritually nourished.

Jesus: The Way, the Truth and the Life

Rev. Jerry Hamstra
December 2, 2012
Sermons

This sermon explores the idea of coming to the Father in the light of the OT tabernacle and its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The tabernacle helps us to visualize what it means to come to the Father and how Jesus is the Way.  The ideas of Jesus being the Truth and the Life are considered as necessary for Jesus to be the Way to the Father.

Sing for Joy

Rev. Jerry Hamstra
December 2, 2012
Sermons

This psalm is an exhortation to “Shout for joy in the LORD.” The body of the psalm give many reasons for joy in the Lord and the ending is a confession of hope that is based in the Lord. It is an amazing contrast to the hopelessness of so many in our society.

November 25, 2012

In this passage, Jesus tells his disciples not to be troubled because he is going to prepare a place for them in his Father’s house and he will come back to take them to be with him. He will prepare a place for them by suffering and dying for them.

Despair (Almost)

Rev. Jerry Hamstra
November 25, 2012
Sermons

This is a unique Psalm in that there is no note of hope at the end. It is meant to teach that there are not always happy endings in life. The psalmist expresses his faith by continuing to pray in spite of no answer. From the rest of the Bible we know that the ultimate answer to such prayers is the blessedness of eternity with Christ.

Peter’s Denial Foretold

Rev. Jerry Hamstra
November 18, 2012
Sermons

Peter was a genuine and zealous disciple of Jesus, yet he fell into the terrible sin of denying the Lord. This passage is a warning for all Christians that it is possible for any of us to fall as Peter fell. We need to be aware of our own vulnerability and depend on the grace of God to uphold us.

Kiss the Son

Rev. Jerry Hamstra
November 18, 2012
Sermons

This passage gives a powerful perspective on futility of all opposition to God. Through his Son, the son of David, God will overcome all who continue in their rebellion. There is, however, a gracious opportunity to repent and take refuge in the Lord’s Anointed.

The Lord’s Supper and the Covenant

Rev. Jerry Hamstra
November 11, 2012
Sermons

In all of the accounts of the institution of the Lord’s Supper, Jesus makes the connection between his blood and the new covenant. This sermon explores the covenant idea in Scripture and how it relates to the Lord’s Supper.
