Love for Those Who Need It Most
Our Advent theme is “Love is the Gift of Christmas.” Justice is what love looks like in practice. Pastor Doug begins Part 4 of our Bible series, and this third week of Advent sharing from the prophet Isaiah who talks about some specific ways God’s people can put love in action.
Love Is Stronger Than Death
All human love – spouse to spouse, parent to child, family member to family member, friend to friend, follower of Jesus to anyone else – all these examples of love are based on God’s love for us. Love in the Bible is characterized by self-giving and self-sacrifice. Pastor Doug shares about what Song of Solomon has to say about God’s love for us and love for each other.
A Time to Love
Our lives have seasons and cycles that influence us. Part of maturing is becoming conscious of the seasons in your life and how to work with them rather than against them. As we begin the season of Advent and look forward to celebrating the birth of Christ, it is a time to love.
The Real Measure of Wealth
Proverbs challenges you to pursue God and wisdom in each area of your life. According to Proverbs, the wise person seeks knowledge, wisdom, truth, and insight and applies them to life’s situations and circumstances. The real measure of wealth is not how much you have, but how generously you live.
When You Feel Like You’re Losing Your Faith
This week in worship, we continue in Part 3 of our Bible Series, “How Do I Live Wisely?” Many people ask why bad things happen to good people. Far less asked is, why do good things happen to bad people? Why is it that things sometimes seem to work out…
The Burdens (and Blessings) of Job
The story of Job is one of the greatest personal examples of human resilience in the midst of intense suffering. During his life and teaching, Jesus has much to share about the relationship between burdens and blessings, how often we find joy in the midst or in spite of difficult circumstances.
Courage in the Face of Anti-Semitism
In a time when there seems to be an almost relentless emphasis on what we should be anxious, fearful, and scared about, focusing on courage is important. Courage is mental or moral strength to resist opposition, danger, or hardship. In the Book of Esther, we meet two women, Vashti and Esther, who each in her own way, demonstrate courage in the face of hostility, challenge injustice, and uphold the cause of the oppressed. They are an inspiring example to all of us.
It Takes Everyone to Build the Church
Nehemiah chapter 3 tells us about all the people that work together to build the wall around Jerusalem. The same is true today, it takes all of us to build the church. Every person is important! We all have part or role to play!
Rebuilding the House of the Lord
Today is a significant day in the life of Brewster Baptist Church. It was 20 years ago this week, that we moved into the expanded facilities that we’ve been enjoying and utilizing for the last two decades.
Strengthened By God
The Bible reminds us over and over again that you are invited to trust in and rely on the Lord in every season and situation in life. You are invited to commit your heart, your future, and your hopes to God.
The scriptures urge you to trust God for strength no matter the situation.
Overflowing with Gratitude
David’s life, like ours, has been a mix of good and bad. He’s known the heights of success and power, and the depths of deep personal sin that had life and death consequences for other people. David, like us, has to choose where his focus will be.
What Do You Do When You’re Afraid?
This week in worship, as we continue our 66-week journey through the Bible, Pastor Doug shares from 2 Kings 6:8-23. There may be times when you feel frightened, outnumbered, and without resources like Elisha’s servant in this story. This scripture invites you to be a person of faith, courage, and…
