Come Sojourn with Us
This is where you will find sermons and updates for our church. Our mission is to preach expository sermons focusing on the gospel of Christ. We are a church that is tied to the reformed tradition and seeks to submit to the scriptures so we walk in the Lord’s wisdom rather than our own.
We would love to have you join us on our Christian sojourn if you are in the Belgrade, MT area. If you are not in area then join us by listening to our bi weekly free sermon podcast.
Stay informed by following us on Facebook, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or through our RSS feed. We would love for you to join us for worship every Sunday at 10 am and 6 pm. If you cannot join us in person then tune into our YouTube livestream.
There is no doubt that we are saved by the Lord's grace. However, how much grace does God give us to come to Christ? Does he give us enough to counteract the fall? Do we really need grace after Adam's fall? Or are we so fallen and depraved that without the Lord's grace overwhelming us we would never turn to him? How much of a gift is our faith at the end of the day?
Christ is the God Man who enters history to do his father's will. John tells us that Christ tabernacled among us. This means that Christ is God dwelling in the midst of his people in the flesh. If Christ is the tabernacle then why does Christ go to the temple? Why do Christ’s parents bring him to the temple? If Christ is the walking temple then why does Luke tell us about Christ in the temple? Is Luke contradicting or complimenting John's Gospel?
Joseph confronts his brothers after their scheme to manipulate Joseph to forgive them. The thought of God's providential care has not resonated within them. Joseph, has been betrayed in several ways, he has been exalted to a high position, and yet he does not seek to get vengeance on his brothers. Why is Joseph willing to move beyond his past? What has the Lord taught Joseph in Egypt?
The story of Christ seems to show that God is doing too little too late. It seems as if the Lord has not fulfilled his promises. However, as we look deeper in the story we find that Christ is the one who will overcome. Our problem as humans is that we do not live our lives in light of the Lord’s wisdom, but on the world’s wisdom. So, what in the story communicates that the Lord is victorious?
Last week we considered the fallen angels. This week we consider the angels who remain in glory. They have a purpose to serve the Lord, and the Lord's people. What does the story of Sodom and Gomorrah teach us about the righteous angels? What does this narrative communicate about the final judgment?
Jude warns the church that judgment is coming. He appeals to Israel being brought out of Egypt, he appeals to Sodom and Gomorrah, and sandwiched between these events he reminds us that the Lord is judging the angels. What does it means that God holds these angels in chains? Are these angels who are part of a super race?
Mary does not give praise to herself even though Elizabeth is honored to have such a person in her presence. Mary turns her attention away from herself and to the Lord. What is the Lord doing through this child? Why should we follow Christ when his ministry begins in such humiliation? What is Luke teaching us about Christ's humiliation and exaltation?
Christ promises that he will send his helper. It is encouraging to know that Christ's return to heaven does not leave us as orphans. How can we be sure that Christ's teaching will resonate within us if Christ is in heaven? Why does Christ have to go away? How can we be sure that Christ’s work will accomplish its redemptive goal when he says the father is greater than I?
Christ is facing the cross, and setting into motion the events promised in Matthew 24:1-13. We may still wonder: am I in Christ's kingdom? Does kingdom entrances mean that we have to take 2 million or 5 million dollars and double the amount? Is God going to send us away if we do not seem righteous enough? How do we know if we are members of His kingdom?
The Lord tells us to be thankful. There is no doubt that we should be thankful. God is God, he is the king who rules over all. We should desire to be thankful to God just because He is God, but what reasons does the Psalmist give for us to be thankful to God?
The master gives talents to the servants who manage his house. It would seem that the one who is very cautious would be the most praised, but that is not the case. Why is the cautious servant rebuked? What are these talents? What does this teach us about the kingdom?
The promise that Jesus will enter history is not just a New Testament promise. The Lord promises at the exit of Eden that Christ will enter into history taking on the flesh. God binds himself in a covenant to Abraham that Christ will enter into history. This is a wonderful promise, but why is this promise necessary?
Christ’s judgment seems strange because the examples Christ gives are people doing the same exact thing. However, one person is saved while the other person is judged. What is the standard? How can we be sure that we will make it through the final judgment? How do we know if we are insiders?
The doctrine of the trinity is a fascinating doctrine. We teach that God is one God and three persons. How can God be one and three at the same time? Why would we want to teach this doctrine if it is so complicated? Why is this doctrine necessary for us to believe as a church?
Christ warns that one will be taken while another is left behind. Christ mentions Noah’s flood with people going about their day to day lives. Christ mentions something about a thief who steals at an unexpected time. What does Christ mean by all this? Does this mean that there is some sort of secret rapture? Is it sinful to live a peaceful and quiet life? What is the fundamental warning that Christ is giving to us today?
Christ makes the promise that he will be with us until the end of the age. How can Christ deliver on this promise when Christ is up in heaven and we are down here on earth? How can the incarnation teach us about the significance of the trinity, and God's desire to redeem?
Christians are called to be informed by the light of God. How does the light of God give us comfort? How does it empower us in our struggle through this world and against our own sin?
The Apostle Paul is in a position to defend his faith once again. He has an opportunity to defend his faith, and so what does Paul say? Where does Paul put his assurance and confidence that the word of God is true? What is our assurance and confidence as we live out the gospel in Christ?
Christ is clear that life in the Kingdom is not always going to be easy. In fact, we will face trials, struggles, and hardships. The promise is that there is going to be a day when those hardships come to a conclusion, and Christ will come again. How do we know when Christ returns? Will this be something that is visible and public?
Christ continues to teach about Jerusalem's coming demise. He uses the language of Daniel to describe the downfall of this city. Why does Christ refer back to Daniel? What do we learn about the "strong covenant" in the 70th week? Why does the temple need to be destroyed?
We are a bible believing church in the Belgrade, MT. We are a Reformed Protestant church who desire to build one another up in love as we sojourn under the sun.
