“A Lesson on How to Live”
1 Sam. 17:10-13
Pastor Jordan T. Griffin
David tended to sheep and was thought least likely to become king
People look at the outside but God looks at the heart
Don’t underestimate small beginnings
Don’t throw in the towel too soon; God will elevate you

[West Harpeth @whpbc]

“Who Can I Run To?”
Ps. 11:1-4
Pstr Jordan T Griffin
Life can make you want to flee from problems
Unhealthy escapism, running to carefree relationships and circumstances, will leave you empty
Be determined like David - no matter how bad the circumstances, run to Jesus the Savior!

[West Harpeth @whpbc]

“Surely”
Matthew 27:51-54
Pastor Jordan Thomas Griffin
Two soldiers took a risk saying "Surely this man was the Son of God!”
Will you declare Jesus is the Son of God?
If so, surely goodness and mercy will follow you and, because Jesus is risen, life challenges can be resurrected

March Series: “Hidden No More: Unnamed Women in the Bible”
“Leave Her Alone”
John 12:1-8, 12-13
Pastor Jordan T Griffin
Mary is devoted and seen at Jesus' feet in the gospels
This leads to Mary using costly oil as a sacrificial act of worship
Leave people alone; let them worship

[West Harpeth @whpbc]

March Series: “Hidden No More: Unnamed Women in the Bible”
“Thank God for the Midwives”
Exodus 1:15-17
Pastor Jordan T Griffin
The midwives feared God and let baby boys live despite the king's command
Fear God and be a midwife by helping those in need; protect the lives of others

[West Harpeth @whpbc]

March Series: “Hidden No More: Unnamed Women in the Bible”
“Miracles Behind Shut Doors”
2 Kings 4:1-7
Pastor Jordan T Griffin
Crises can make us focus on what we lost instead of what we have
A poor widow had only some oil
God multiplied the oil and can work things out for us too

Series: “Hidden No More: Unnamed Women in the Bible”
“Hidden Figures”
Lk 8:43-48
Pstr Jordan T Griffin
An unnamed woman was labeled unclean, making her hidden--untouchable, powerless, & unvalued
She touched Jesus’ garment & was healed
Jesus never runs out of power so don’t hide

[West Harpeth @whpbc]

“Black and Beautiful”
Songs of Solomon 1:1-6
Pastor Jordan T. Griffin
“I am black and beautiful” is a statement of self & divine affirmation, and of protest
Refuse to minimize yourself to make others comfortable
Be thankful for how God made you & protest in the Spirit like Jesus

[West Harpeth @whpbc]

“Divine Detours: When God Takes The Long Way Around”
Exodus 13:17-18
Rev. Royal Todd, First Baptist Capitol Hill, Nashville
The road to the life Jesus has for us is not always comfortable.
God uses detours to maintain our direction and destination, and to manage our development.

“You Have It in You”
2 Tim. 1:5-7
Pastor Jordan Thomas Griffin
Waning vigor can be caused by the weight of leadership, burden of expectation, or not being poured into
We have gifting and God's Spirit in us, like Timothy
We just need encouragement to stir up our gifts and not fear

[West Harpeth @whpbc]

“Are You Connected?”
John 15:1-5
Pstr Jordan Thomas Griffin
Knowing about Jesus isn't enough; you must be connected
Jesus says to abide in Him v4
The one true vine, Jesus, sustains us while other vines may provide limited support
God prunes branches, helping us bear lasting fruit

[West Harpeth @whpbc]

"Real Love"
1 John 4:7-10
Pstr Jordan Thomas Griffin
Essentiality of Real Love: love is the evidence of the gospel at work
Emergence of Real Love: God is not just the source of love but the originator
Expression of Real Love: God showed love by sending Jesus; God is 1 Cor 13 love

[West Harpeth @whpbc]

“The Gift That Keeps on Giving”
John 14:27
Pastor Jordan Thomas Griffin
Jesus was a gift who bore gifts - salvation, joy, healing, peace, deliverance, hope
Peace isn't absence of chaos, but the presence of completeness
Jesus gives shalom/peace, that fills us & makes us complete

“Praise and Thank You”
Pslm 130:1-8
Pastor Jordan Thomas Griffin
The psalmist's hope is anchored in God
His soul waits on the Lord
His cry is not over a dead end; the cry is hopeful because he knows God’s steadfast love and redemption
Have hope! Praise God in advance!

“When a Sinner Meets Jesus”
Luke 19:1-10
Pastor Jordan Thomas Griffin
Zaccheus was a sinner and overtaxed people for selfish gain but he sought Jesus. He didn't let the crowd or himself stop him. If you seek God, God will change you, save you, and help you to do what's right.
