- Dec 5, 2016A One Hit Wonder | Judges 3:31
A One Hit Wonder | Judges 3:31This Sunday we looked at the Judge Shamgar. God is able to deliver his people through unlikely people and unlikely means. The Bible shows us this idea fully in the Lord Jesus Christ who came as a baby and died on a torture device. God's deliverance through Jesus brought us a greater salvation than Shamgar eve could have done. This sermon was preached by Samuel Vance.For more content:

- Nov 13, 2016Seeking and Not Finding | John 7:32-36
Seeking and Not Finding | John 7:32-36
This Sunday we continue through John 7. This passage reveals the folly of the religious leaders as they try to understand Jesus. Jesus reveals that he is going to go to the Father. The religious leaders still struggle to know who Jesus is and Jesus tells them that no matter how much they seek him they will not find him.

- Nov 13, 2016Sin, Savior, Repeat | Judges 3:5-11
Sin, Savior, Repeat | Judges 3:5-11This Sunday we finally get to the first Judge in the book of Judges. Othniel is presented as the ideal judge who sets the standard for every other judge. Othniel was a great leader and God used him to deliverer his People. Even though Othniel was a great leader, he like every other leader eventually die. Othniel points us to a greater leader, Jesus Christ who gave of himself to die not for political or military peace, but for our salvation.For more content:Follow us @RalphAveBaptistLike us on Facebook at Ralph Avenue Baptist ChurchMore messages at https://www.ralphavenuebaptist.com/messages/
- Nov 6, 2016It’s About Who You Know | John 7:25-31
It’s About Who You Know | John 7:25-31
This Sunday we looked back again at John 7 and we see again the people's doubt of who Jesus is. They question him about being the messiah and Jesus says that they know him but that they don't know the One who sent him. They seek to arrest him, but Jesus' time has still not come for him to be taken and to give his life so that the kingdom of God may come.

Proving Faith | Judges 2:20-3:4This Sunday we finished the 2nd chapter and began the 3rd chapter of Judges. Things are pretty chaotic in this book and we see this Sunday how God is angry with his people. For some reason most people think that God is just angry towards sin and not towards sinners but Judges shows us the opposite. God is indeed angry with sinners and will judge sinners accordingly. If we miss this then we miss the grace of the cross.For more content:Follow us @RalphAveBaptistLike us on Facebook at Ralph Avenue Baptist ChurchMore messages at https://www.ralphavenuebaptist.com/messages/
- Oct 30, 2016Cycle of Unfaithfulness | Judges 2:6-19
Cycle of Unfaithfulness | Judges 2:6-19This Sunday we finish chapter 2 of Judges. We looked at the complete downward spiral of God's people being unfaithful to God. This chapter sets us up to see how God uses others to judge Israel and how he raises up judges to deliver Israel. Of course, none of these deliverers can ever fix the sinful nature that his people have and so they will through the story of the Bible continue to be unfaithful. These deliverers can only point to a future deliver who will perfectly forgive God's people once and for all.For more content:Follow us @RalphAveBaptistLike us on Facebook at Ralph Avenue Baptist ChurchMore messages at https://www.ralphavenuebaptist.com/messages/
- Oct 23, 2016Appearances Aren’t Everything | John 7:14-24
Appearances Aren’t Everything | John 7:14-24This Sunday we looked again at the scene of Jesus being at the Feast of Booths. We see more rejection from the people as Jesus goes into the temple to teach. He reasons with the religious leaders about their anger against him for healing a man on the Sabbath while they would circumcise a boy on the eighth day even if it fell on a Sabbath. The interesting thing is that if a boy wasn't circumcised then he wasn't able to be a part of the covenant community and wasn't able to worship in the temple, but Jesus heals a man who also couldn't go into the temple and be a part of the covenant community. Jesus is the one who brings us into the covenant community by faith and we are able to approach the throne of grace with confidence.For more content:Follow us @RalphAveBaptistLike us on Facebook at Ralph Avenue Baptist ChurchMore messages at https://www.ralphavenuebaptist.com/messages/
