Sermons from Sweet Home
This podcast is a library of the weekly Biblical lessons presented at Highway 20 Church of Christ in Sweet Home, Oregon. You will find simple, yet truthful insights and applications to the Biblical texts in these lessons. The majority of these sermons are done by Machiel Greyling, the evangelist of the church. These lessons strengthen and encourage the church here in Sweet Home, and we believe it will do the same to those who listen to them from wherever the Spirit will will send it.

This lesson covers the famous story of the fall of Jericho. A number of questions are explored. How do we feel about our God commanding a genocide? Does our faithfulness to God have an impact on how God treats our family members?
Jesus Christ, through His blood, took away the wall between Jew and Gentile. He is the Lord of peace and He prayed for unity among His disciples. How could we identify when there are walls built between Christians? And, how can we go about creating unity between disciples of Jesus?
We have free will. We are saved by grace. Salvation is a gift. Our works can never be good enough to satisfy God's wrath. The path to grace is faith. All of these are true and consistent with the text.

In this latter part of the first chapter of Joshua we pick up some lessons about leadership. We also learn what it means to be sojourners.
As we unpack these opening verses of the Book of Judges we learn that God's presence is guaranteed for those who are on His mission. When we spread light we expel darkness. And what further guarantees the success of our endeavors is a commitment to God's Word, to meditate on it, speak it and obey it.
