In a perfect world, doing good would lead to good things. But we don’t live in a perfect world. In the closing message of this series, we learn from 1 Peter that doing good is worth it, even if we suffer for it. It is better to suffer for doing good than to compromise for the sake of comfort. Based on 1 Peter 3:13-22Do Good, Week 4: Discussion Guide
The Bible tells us, “There is no one who does good, not even one” (Romans 3:12). We are all sinners, incapable of doing lasting good on our own. The gospel teaches us that it is only when we confess that we cannot do good that we can receive the grace of God that empowers us to do good. In this message, we see how God’s grace not only saves us from sin but transforms us to do good. Grace is not a license to live as we please, but t...
The golden rule is a simple command with complex implications. Cherished by Christians and non-Christians alike, many have seen the golden rule as the most basic maxim for doing good. In this message, we will see that there is more to the golden rule than we commonly understand. More than a call to be nice to others, the golden rule is a call to do good, even when it costs us. Based on Luke 6:27-36
In a world filled with division, dissension, and disruption, we desperately need to regain a vision of the common good. God calls all of us to pursue not only our own benefit, but to seek the good of all in the community around us. In this message, we see how God called the exiles to act for the good of their community in the day of Jeremiah. Inspired by God’s Word, we embrace the call to engage, serve, and bless our community. Bas...
The year of wisdom continues at Dutilh Church as we explore an important wisdom passage from the New Testament, 1 Corinthians 1:18-32. The message is called “Foolish Wisdom,”
At the root of all sin is selfish pride. Rather than seeking God’s glory, we seek after our own desires. James teaching that inside our living requires a heart humbly submitted to God’s will and God’s ways. Based on James 4:1-17
As followers of Jesus, our words matter. A kind word spoken at just the right time can bring love and joy. A harsh word spoken in anger or hate can bring devastation and pain. James teaches that inside out living requires us to tame the tongue, so that the words we flow from what we believe in our hearts. Based on James 3:1-12
One of the great criticisms of Jesus’ followers in the 21st century is hypocrisy. Rather than living inside out, too often Christians just reflect the culture around us. James challenges us to see that authentic faith results in good works, outward actions that bring faith to life. Based on James 2:14-16
Have you ever noticed how it can be easy to understand God’s truth but much more challenging to apply it in our everyday life? The book of James challenges us to go beyond hearing God’s Word to living it out. In this week’s message, James applies this challenge to how we deal with our anger. Anger is a normal part of human life, but if not handled with care it can lead us away from God and into sin. James 1:19-27
As the way, the truth, and the life, Jesus promises that when we follow him we will find the riches of eternal life in God’s Kingdom. But Jesus never promised that the journey to the Kingdom would be free from trial and suffering. Many have seen suffering as a reason to give up on faith. James teaches us that when we live inside out we see suffering as an opportunity to deepen our faith, and grow in our walk with Jesus. Based on ...
One of the greatest causes of stress is money. No matter how much we have, we never seem to have enough, and no matter how much we try, we cannot avoid the fact that we have to make financial decisions every day. In this message, we discover from the book of Proverbs the futility of riches, develop a biblical perspective on money, and look to ease our anxiety about our pocketbooks. Based on Proverbs 22:21-23, 23:1-5
Of all of God’s creatures, did you ever imagine that you could learn valuable life lesson’s from an ant. In this sermon, we consider the diligence and preparedness of ants and caution against the dangers of laziness and procrastination. God created us to work and to be productive contributors to the good world God made. Based on Proverbs 6:6-11
We’ve heard it before: ‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.’ It’s not true. Words can, and often do, hurt. The opposite is also true. Words can, and often do, heal. In this sermon we uncover the power of our words. We start by seeing how God’s Word had the power to create the universe, and how our words, like God’s, have the power to create or destroy. We will turn to various Proverbs for wisdom ...
Our words and actions originate from our hearts. If we want to live well, that means learning to protect our hearts from the poisoning influence of a sinful and broken world. Drawing on the wisdom of Proverbs four, this message provides practical strategies for protecting our hearts from the negative influences that surround us every day. Based on Proverbs 4:20-27
The best way to ensure you don’t live well is to try and figure everything out on your own. If we think that we can unilaterally answer every question and solve every problem, we will end up frustrated. The Proverbs teach us to lean on God’s understanding and not our own. In this message, we talk about what it means to lean on the Lord in life’s daily moments. Based on Proverbs 3:1-12
How do I make good life decisions? It’s a question we all need to answer. No matter who we are or what we do, we all search for practical wisdom that will enable us to make choices that lead to a good life. In this message, we will read from the book of Proverbs, and discover how our relationship with God is the starting place for making good life choices. Based on Proverbs 1:1-7The Art of Living, Week 1: Discussion Guide
The best way to serve Jesus is to boldly serve those he loves – which means everyone! In particular, the Bible teaches that God loves the least, the last and the lost. In this message, we unpack practical ways that we can serve Jesus by showing compassion, kindness, and mercy to “the least of these.” Based on Acts 2:1-21
We live in a culture of scarcity, where we never belief that we have enough. None of us thinks we are rich, at least not compared to people we assume are richer than us. Yet, as scripture teaches, because of Jesus we have more than we could ever need, and we are called to be generous in sharing from all that God has given us. In this message, we talk about how the most faithful life is a generous life, in which we freely give of ou...
The children’s song say it well, “Hide it under a bushel, no! I’m gonna let it shine!” Why is it so important for followers of Jesus to live their faith out loud? Because when we shine the light of Jesus we make it possible for others to stands in his light. In this message we discuss practical ways that we can make sharing Jesus a routine part of our lives. Based on Matthew 5:13-16
Following Jesus doesn’t mean being perfect, but it does mean allowing God to perfect us. God’s perfecting grace is what enables our faith to mature as we gain experience and understanding in our faith. In this message, we draw on the teaching of Hebrews and examine practical ways that we can invest in the formation of our spiritual life. Based on Hebrews 5:11-6:3
