The Apostle Paul calls Jesus “the image of the invisible God”. What exactly does this mean and what does it mean for us?

It’s a crushing, despairing feeling to know we have done something to hurt another person. And so freeing to know that God forgives us. But we also really want to know that the person we hurt has forgiven us. Similarly, if someone has hurt us, they need to know our forgiveness. Giving that forgiveness is part of our honest worship of God.

One reason Jesus came to Earth is to make it possible for us to walk closely with God again — which is abundant life for us.

Ephesians 3:17-19 (NLT) ; 以 弗 所 書 3:17-19 (CUVS)
John 10:6-10 (NLT) ; 約 翰 福 音 10:6-10 (CUVS)

You can also download Pastor Ryan’s sermon notes (not a transcript). During the sermon he demonstrated a silly camp chant called “My Name is Bill”. Here is a similar one called “My Name is Joe”.

This is the third sermon in Pastor Ryan’s series “The Flawed Yet Faithful”, which looks at some of the imperfect but faithful people listed in chapter 11 of the book of Hebrews. God used them in spite of their flaws, and he can use us in spite of ours as well — if only we are faithful.

Hebrews 11:24-28 (NLT) ; 希 伯 來 書 11:24-28 (CUVS)

The story of Moses is found in the books of Exodus through Deuteronomy.

You can download the PDF of Pastor Ryan’s sermon “Moses” if you would like to read it. Note that this is not a word-for-word transcript of the sermon, just the outline he used to preach from.
