    Seeking Self-Justification Series

    Contributed by Mary Erickson on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,577 views

    Part of a Lenten Sermon Series on people in the gospels who seek out Jesus. This week we consider less than pure motivations in “Seeking Self-Justification.” We hear the story of a man who wants Jesus to settle a dispute between him and his brother.

    March 30, 2022 Hope Lutheran Church Rev. Mary Erickson Luke 12:13-21 Seeking Self-Justification Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. Why do we seek Jesus? For direction, for help, for forgiveness. There are many reasons. And if ...read more

    It is possible to seek and find the face of God!

    SEEKING THE FACE OF GOD (Mark 10:27) After having read the Scripture out of a sense of awe I am forced to ask myself: how did the people mentioned in the Bible get so close to God. I would love to get up one morning, drive to the nearest garden, sit on the bench and wait for God to ...read more

    "It's a scary world out there." True. So how do you deal with it? Worry? Or God's Word?

    SEEK GOD FIRST (Matthew 6:31-33) 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and ...read more

    The Church Is Not Your Gas Station

    It’s about God not about us. It’s about recognizing God as Supreme, Holy, all Powerful and the source of our Salvation. That is the attitude we are to bring into this sanctuary on Sunday morning not what do you have for me today God.

    The Church is not your Gas Station Psalm 96 Matthew 22:15-22 Identifying what church means to a person can include all kinds of perspectives. You might hear things like, “a church is a community of believers.” Or you might hear “a church exists to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Or maybe ...read more

    What does it mean to seek the face of God? Listen to King David in Psalm 27.

    David writes in Psalm 27:8 "Come," my heart says, "seek his face!" Your face, LORD, do I seek. We modern day folks find this to be strange I think at best. Seeking God's face? What does that mean, God is spirit, you can't see his face. Yet we read today in Matthew 4, that Jesus came and called His ...read more

    God wants us to seek him, but we don't always seek him properly. Even with the distractions, we face in life, God is still there waiting for us.

    Opening and Introduction When I think of looking for something, a book designed for kids comes to mind. It’s a book with pictures called “Where’s Waldo”. Did anyone see any of those books?

    Within this command to pray I think we can see five general principles about prayer.

    “Ask, … Seek … And Knock” Matt 7:7-11 There is nothing that reveals more about a believer than his or her prayer life. How that individual approaches God and what that individual is willing to ask for reveals how he or she views God. We frame our requests in ...read more

    We have a free choice, we decide what we say, think, or do, our conscious can either help or hurt, it’s not fool proof.

    Seeking God’s counsel Prov 14:15 NIV 15 A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps.

    Seeking knowledge from God pleases Him and helps us to discern and apply it correctly.

    We are given some background to this passage. David was King of Israel for forty years. He ruled seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. Solomon succeeded his father after a bit of a struggle for succession and you can read about it in First Kings, Chapter 1. We know a few ...read more
