From "Not My People" to "My People." (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Speaker : Eddie Williams Scripture : Hosea 1:2-2:1. Sermon Main Idea : That is exactly what we see in Hosea 1:3–2:1 :“God’s judgment is corrective, not merely punitive.” For us, this means: Correction is not Rejection; it is God’s way of getting our Attention. Sermon Outline : And we see it in two movements: I. In Christ, God Confronts Our Unfaithfulness (vv. 3-9). II. In Christ, God Restores Our Brokenness (vv. 10-2:1).

Read excerpt
Speaker : Eddie Williams Scripture : Hosea 1:1-2. Sermon Main Idea : In our passage, we see God's purpose in speaking to Israel this way: “God's unfailing love pursues unfaithful hearts.” In other words: When God speaks a hard word, it is not because He has given up on us; it is because His unfailing love is pursuing us to restore us. Sermon Outline : Our passage shows us two important truths: I. THE LORD SPEAKS THROUGH HIS MESSENGERS II. THE LORD SPEAKS TO CALL HIS PEOPLE BACK TO HIM

Love Shapes Our Action. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Speaker : Eddie Williams Scripture : 1 Corinthians 16. Sermon Main Idea : Paul is telling the Corinthians that their love must shape the way they treat one another. Or, put another way: “Everything we do for one another must be done in love.” Sermon Outline : Paul highlights this truth through four practical expressions of love: I. Love Gives Generously (vv. 1–4) II. Love Serves Courageously (vv. 5–12) III. Love Honors Sincerely (vv. 13–18) IV. Love Unites Genuinely (vv. 19–24)
Death Doesn't Get The Last Word (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Speaker : Eddie Williams Scripture : 1 Corinthians 15:12-34. Sermon Main Idea : “Christ's resurrection guarantees the resurrection of those who belong to Him.” Denying the future resurrection is not a minor theological mistake. It strikes at the very heart of the gospel. Sermon Outline : Paul develops this truth in three movements: I. Our Faith Is Not in Vain (vv. 12–19). II. Our Resurrection Is Certain (vv. 20–28). III. Our Hope Shapes the Way We Live (vv. 29–34).
