    The Antidote To The ‘kindly Grandfather’ God Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 16, 2024
     | 48 views

    This passage is a stark contrast to the "kindly grandfather" image of God that many had. What are the specific ways that shows up here?

    JUDGMENT-FREE ZONE: Many people like to think of God as a kindly grandfather. - Ezekiel 5:1. - There is a popular conception of God as a kindly (and slightly senile) grandfather in the sky. He’s not going to rebuke you for anything you’re doing. He’s going to ask if everyone had a good time. And ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 22, 2024
     | 243 views

    This passage challenges the self-centered "gospel of self-fulfillment" that is too often proclaimed today. What does it mean that God wants us to focus on the "gospel of kingdom fulfillment"?

    A HARSH STORY: God gives Ezekiel a task that overwhelms him. - Ezekiel 3:14-15. - 2 Corinthians 1:8-11; 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, 16-18. - This is a tough story and it’s going to lead us in this sermon to some difficult points. - We’ve been talking for the first two sermons in this series about the ...read more

    A Job Description for God’s Messengers: - I’m going to keep this broad and include all of us who are called to share the good news of Christ.

How do we deal with the shame that comes from that? - It’s an ancient problem that has troubled people since pretty much the beginning of time. - This morning I want to again look at ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 535 views

    In this sermon series we are comparing the early chapters of Genesis with the late chapters in John. In this sermon, we explore how the Fall happened because man wanted to become like God and salvation happened because God was willing to become a man.

    THE TEMPTION IN THE FALL: Satan told Adam and Eve that they could become like God. - Genesis 3:5. SIDE NOTE: This was also the issue in Satan’s fall. - Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:11-19; 1 Timothy 3:6. - His pride and desire to lift himself up. - Look up Isaiah 14:12-14. THE GREAT REVERSAL: ...read more

     | 825 views

    What are the connections between the wound in Jesus' side and the wound in Adam's side for the creation of Eve?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 6, 2024

    Genesis 2:7 speaks of Adam receiving the breath of life. John 20:22 speaks of Jesus giving the spiritual breath of life (the Holy Spirit). This sermon unpacks the parallels and their implications.

    - As we have throughout this series, this morning I want to look at the connection between a passage early in Genesis and one late in John.

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 24, 2024
     | 758 views

    The phrase "in the middle" appears early in Genesis, late in John, and late in Revelation. The connection between the three speaks to an amazing title for the cross of Jesus.

    If I’ve Received Salvation, Why Do I Still Struggle? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2023
     | 656 views

    Romans 7 delves into the struggles we as Christians experience in this world: wanting to follow God yet often caught up in our sin nature. What does Paul teach us about how we are to look at that reality?

    DEAD MAN WALKING: Dying with Christ is important because it means we’ve been freed. - Romans 7:1-4a. - Chapter 7 obviously flows from chapter 6. Last week in chapter 6 the big ideas we talked about were the (a) we are dead to sin and alive to Christ and (b) that we have to choose if we are going ...read more

     | 642 views

    Paul now shifts to a major misunderstanding about grace and explains what living out this salvation should look like.

    A LOOPHOLE? Can we just keep sinning and use grace as an excuse? - Romans 6:1-2. a. Grace is the means by which salvation comes to us, but grace is easily misunderstood. - v. 1. - We closed out with grace last week. It’s the reality that we cannot earn our salvation but we receive it as a free ...read more
