Our mid-summer sermon series is titled “The God Who Helps.” We may wonder if we should even think of God as a helper. After all, isn’t helping beneath God’s dignity as the ruler of the universe? Doesn’t the Lord of all creation have better things to do than have a “subservient” role in the cosmos? However, the Scriptures frequently portray God as a present, reliable helper who offers strength, protection, comfort, and salvation.
While Scripture offers warnings against turning God into an idol whom we expect to do whatever we desire, idolatry is a far cry from humbly praying to God, asking for help, and depending on our Creator for daily sustenance. Ultimately, we are encouraged to rely upon God as a helper because God is reliable, trustworthy, and good.
Here’s an outline of the series:
July 12. The God Who Helps
July 19. Our Calling as Helpers
July 26. When Helping Hurts
August 2. What About When God Doesn’t Seem to Help?
