That's not to say than any of us are above criticism or that there is no benefit to listening and discerning when it comes our way.

The church follows closely the style of Jesus in responding to needs and crises. There is no doubt that Jesus had a strategic plan and the early church had goals and purposes. But time after time, Scripture shows that the church, like Jesus, was a response organism.

Oakhaven Church's PodcastDavid's Prayer 2 Samuel 7: 18-29Prayer is often situational by nature. There are times when prayer is a crying out.....perhaps not even in words or phrases, but a groan. Sometimes prayer is a sustained plea for healing, or hope or direction. The prayer of David in 2 Samuel 7 is a prayer of looking back at what God has done, a current look at what God is in the process of doing and a look forward at all He will do in the future.
Today's lesson is coupled with a time of honoring a couple of recent graduates and an exhortation for all of us to...
2013-06-1131 minOakhaven Church's PodcastHannah's Prayer - 1 Samuel 2: 1-11The prayer of Hannah is rich in theological content and illustrates the highest respect for God and his ways. If this prayer sounds familiar, it might be because of the close parallels it has with Mary's Magnificat in Luke 1:46 and following. The prayer is also given in the form of song or poetry. It is a well constructed, highly contemplative prayer.
In this sermon, we will explore the idea of prayer being a part of action and willingness to participate in the agenda of God. It is my prayer that we will expand our idea of praying as a manner...

Blushingly, I would admit that this is one of the more hair-brained ideas for a sermon I've ever tried to pull off. You can't blame me for trying the near impossible.....well....maybe you can.
Nehemiah offers a prayer to God asking for guidance in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. At this time, Israel is released following the period when Babylon destroyed the city and took many of Jerusalem's residents captive.
The re-building of the wall of Jerusalem forms the backdrop for the Old Testament books of Ezra and...

In fact, it might be out of reach for a time among those whose losses were so personal. In spite of the great pain and hurt, we yearn for comfort.

The event is filled with drama and a spectacular display of God's power. The prayer of Elijah is in contrast, very short and to the point especially when compared to the sideshow demonstrated by the Baal worshipers.

Today we are examining a passage in Hebrews 1: 1-3. The writer of Hebrews emphasizes that God speaks to us today through Jesus, His son. The question we explore today regards how easy it is to use only the "sound clips" of Jesus which are most comfortable and edit the commands of Jesus which make us squirm just a bit.

Beginning with his birth announcement and his father's instructions about how John was to live, we observe that John is not your everyday, run of the day, Jewish boy. He has a mission, he has a call. He hears the voice of God. May we learn from John how to hear with more clarity, the voice of God. May the hearing of the voice of God give us clearer purpose, mission and meaning in our lives.
