This leads to envy, hatred, and murderous thoughts. Joseph soon finds himself a slave in a foreign land, having been betrayed by his own brothers. And yet, we see that God's hand of providence works to fulfill God's plans despite the evil intentions of the brothers. http://www.springwoodchurch.org/sermon/family-feud http://www.springwoodchurch.org/mediafiles/2008-06-08-family-feud-genesis-37.mp3 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 09:13:49 CDT Don Kerns Joseph: Doing Right When All Goes Wrong springwood_presbyterian_church,don_kerns,sermon,joseph,envy,parenting,providence 40:15 http://www.springwoodchurch.org/sermon/will-you-help http://www.springwoodchurch.org/mediafiles/2008-05-25-will-you-help-luke-10-25-37.mp3 Sun, 25 May 2008 21:31:05 CDT Don Kerns Lectionary - Summer 23:11 Genesis 1:1-3, 26-27 and Colossians 1:15-20 On Trinity Sunday we delve into the inner being of the Godhead, lifting up the biblical truths that God is One, that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Spirit is God. The Trinitarian life consists of being shaped by the God who is by nature loving, communal, transparent, humble, and full of joy. http://www.springwoodchurch.org/sermon/the-trinitarian-life http://www.springwoodchurch.org/mediafiles/2008-05-18-the-trinitarian-life-gen-1-1-3--col-1-15-20.mp3 Sun, 18 May 2008 23:00:19 CDT Don Kerns Lectionary - Summer springwood_presbyterian_church,don_kerns,trinity,trinitarian_life 29:06 “…we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” Acts 2:11b On the day of Pentecost, the Spirit comes and drives Christ’s followers out to share the Gospel and enables them to communicate it across cultural divides. Likewise, we are called and empowered by the Spirit to go out into the world at our steps as missionaries and communicate the Gospel across cultural boundaries, making its message as clear and as powerful as possible. http://www.springwoodchurch.org/sermon/in-english-please http://www.springwoodchurch.org/mediafiles/2008-05-11-in-english-please-acts-2-1-12.mp3 Sun, 11 May 2008 10:49:42 CDT Don Kerns Lectionary - Summer springwood_presbytrerian_church,sermon,don_kerns,pentecost,evangelism,acts_2,st._patrick,missional_church,missional 29:58 What kind of environment does it take to create spiritual growth? “‘…neither do I condemn you,’ Jesus declared. ‘Go now and leave your life of sin.’” John 8:11 Jesus offered the woman caught in adultery grace and forgiveness as well as truth, hope, and an opportunity for transformation and growth. We should create a "growing" community where people intentionally seek to grow and encourage others to do likewise. http://www.springwoodchurch.org/sermon/grow http://www.springwoodchurch.org/mediafiles/grow-john-7-53-8-11.mp3 Sun, 04 May 2008 07:39:25 CDT Don Kerns What Kind of Church? spiritual_growth,sermons,grow,springwood_presbyterian_church,john_8 37:08 Hebrews 10:23-25 We are called to honestly confront the truth of the darkness of our human predicament, yet to hold unswervingly to the reality of the hope in Jesus Christ.

Jesus tells the religious leaders how God invites all to the Great Banquet, but the invitation must be accepted.
