The Prerequisite for Hope

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Zechariah: Hope in God's Unfailing Purpose

Treasuring God's Words

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Synopsis: Is your foundation in the midst of life's trials your own resources or the resources of God's Word? What resource did Job have to handle his pain and sorrow? His distress?

What Brings Hope

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Zechariah: Hope in God's Unfailing Purpose

Synopsis: In this second introductory message to the book of Zechariah, we look at the message and method by which he communicates God's message to His people. Do you know what the difference is between a vision and a dream? Both occur in Scripture and both were methods of divine communication. To regain hope when we are discouraged and overwhelmed by our hardships, we must redirect our focus away from ourselves and our present circumstances to what God has in store for us--His promises to us. This is the message Zechariah wanted the Jews of his day to receive and it's the message we need today.

Perspective

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Zechariah: Hope in God's Unfailing Purpose

Synopsis: Do you enjoy working jigsaw puzzles? What is true of assembling a jigsaw puzzle is equally true of assembling our Bible knowledge. Without some grasp of "the big picture" - an idea of who fits where, what goes with what, etc., -- Bible details can seem quite puzzling and disjointed. In this introductory message in a new sermon series, it's helpful for us to get "the big picture" so we can better understand how everything fits together - the events that are happening, the people mentioned, and the significance of the message being delivered as timeless truth.

God Remembers

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Synopsis: God's actions are always expressive of His character. Our text demonstrates God's character to Noah and His commitment to him and ultimately the Messianic promise given centuries earlier in Genesis 3:15. Our text reveals two important stabilizing truths regarding this wonderfully encouraging statement, "God remembered Noah" and moved to act in his behalf for his welfare. He also remembers you and will do the same for you.

Two Mountains & an Altar

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Synopsis: It is highly significant and striking that immediately after giving the 10 commandments at Mt. Sinai (Exodus 20:1-17), that God gives instructions for reconciliation to Him because He knew us to be lawbreakers in heart (Exodus 20:18-26). Mt. Calvary also had an altar upon which the Lamb of God became the only uniquely qualified Substitute to reconcile sinful man with a holy God. As we consider these two mountains and the altar upon them, there are three crucial truths that must be embraced if we are to be reconciled to God.

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II
