Heaston Church

The Creator God brings about the fulfillment of His promises through His sovereign hand.

Jesus is the Promised One who is the hope for the people of YHWH.

The presence of YHWH among people results in either worry or worship. What responses to the presence of God among His people do you see in Matthew 2:1-12? What should our response be to the presence of God among us?

Matthew 1:18-24: Salvation from sins is found in the Savior YHWH sends.

As we begin our journey into Matthew, we see the promises of YHWH cannot be stopped from coming to pass.

An in-depth look at Psalm 139 and how we are to self-examen ourselves before the Lord.

Our God is faithful in every season to make good on His promise.

The people whose God is YHWH will see victory.

Fearing YHWH leads to life: -fearing YHWH leads to understanding -fearing YHWH leads to compassion from YHWH -fearing YHWH leads to worship of YHWH

Heaston Sermon 9.24.2023, Deuteronomy 32:1-27

Prosperity out of context leads us away from the God of our covenant.

Living in faithful obedience to YHWH requires strength and courage, and intentionality.

A changed heart that leads to love and obedience to YHWH is life.

In Deuteronomy 29 we see that keeping covenant with YHWH is how we experience life.

The people of God obey the voice of God and experience the blessings of God.

We worship because it is the response to God's revelation. - worship is in response to God's mercy - worship expresses joy at God's redemption - worship manages God's resources for God's glory - worship seeks the fullness of God

The people of YHWH live in such a way to bring honor to YHWH.

The people of God have a responsibility for the well-being of the vulnerable among them.

The people of God must pursue holiness in all things; -Holiness in the assembly -Holiness in battle

We take a look at 1 Corinthians 20-30:2:2 and how we are to keep the Gospel simple.

The people of God must live set apart lives, because they are set apart people.

The shedding of innocent blood brings judgement; the shedding of Messiahs blood brings justification.

Luke 18:15:30 The way of the child The way of the wealthy The way of the disciple

In Deuteronomy 20, we see how your God goes before you to fight your battles and give you the victory.

The righteousness of the people of God is upheld by maintaining righteous witnesses. We see that God is concerned about the integrity and motive of a witness.

As we begin Deuteronomy 19, we see when you live in God's provision, you must live according to God's justice. *If you would like a copy of the sermon slides, as the stage TV was not operating, you can download them here https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7ol8dvafy61bn5q713kp0/Deuteronomy-19.1-14-6.4.2023.pptx?dl=0&rlkey=fv1wzvk8359wvnr4nt56qvgoq *

Are you living in the order of the King Saul or in the order of King David? 1 Samuel 28:3-8 / 1 Samuel 30:1-8

What does God forbid His people to be involved in, and how does He say He will reveal Himself to them? In Deuteronomy 18:9-22, we see the people of God must not look to the occult, but rather to the on who YHWH raised up.

In Deuteronomy 18, we begin to see the cost of living in faithful obedience to the Lord outweighs the cost of living in rebellion against the Lord: * You may lose some relationships * You may not have some possessions * You will live a life of faith in the promises of God * You will life a life of separation, being chosen by God. * You will know the joy of YHWH God being your inheritance

This week we look at how leaders of God's people must be lovers of God and His law.

Righteousness is the foundation for justice; justice upheld maintains righteousness.

Deuteronomy 16:13-17 we see how God's dwelling among His people is what sustains and satisfies His people.

As we dive back into Deuteronomy, we see the people of God must depend on the provision and power of God to live for God.

As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we walk through Leviticus 23:9-14 and learn because Jesus was accepted by God in being raised, those who belong to Jesus are accepted by God and will be raised.

As we celebrate Palm Sunday, we look into the passover and how God's redemption determine the identity and marks the lives of His people.

Through His Messiah, God brings good news of release to His people for freedom.

The way the people of God treat their wealth should reflect the character and heart of God.

A look into Peters denials of Jesus.

Deuteronomy 14:1-21 we see how the children of God must treat their bodies differently because they belong to God.

In Deuteronomy 12:29 through 13:18 we see, "The people of God must not allow themselves to be drawn away from God."

Deuteronomy 12:1-28: How the people of God worship matters to God and the place of God's presence is the place of worship.

Deuteronomy 11:1-32 we see that obedience that leads to blessing is an obedience of faith.

Deuteronomy 10:1-22 we learn how the people of God must give their total allegiance to God.

In Deuteronomy 9, we see the danger of the people of God forgetting God is misplaced glory.

Deuteronomy 8:1-20 we see that we learn to know God's voice in the wilderness so that you obey God's voice in the blessing.

In Deuteronomy 7, we learn that because God sets His people apart, His people must live set apart.

As we continue in our Deuteronomy series, we see how; the people of God must not forget God in prosperity and in posterity.

As we kick off a new year, we look at Luke 3 and how we are to prepare the way of King Jesus.

We wrap up our Advent series, Worship The King, at our Christmas Eve service.

Week four we see how, we worship while we wait on God because waiting on God is worship. 

This includes a few things: 

- Worship while waiting includes praising God 

- Worship while waiting includes telling others
