    A funeral sermon for those who have lost a Christian family member or friend to death.

    From the testimony of the Apostle Paul, we learn two truths which I believe should comfort us today. 1.

In the same way, ...read more

    True joy does not come from pleasing ourselves, but from pleasing God and from serving others.

    Philippians 1:19-26 Sunday, February 3, 2002 There are times when we make Paul’s first imprisonment in Rome seem like it was a rather comfortable situation. He lived in his own home. He could have visitors whenever he chose. We even seem to take his eventual release as a foregone ...read more

    Radical discipleship is self-giving for the sake of the world, and not self-satisfaction nor giving only to those who please us.

    When you learn to sing, you must learn to sing scales. Scales start with “do” on the low end and you step up until you get to “do” again, where the frequency exactly doubles the one where you started. That’s a scale.

    Why do we have so little impact on our world? Why are we so much like the world, and so un-like our heavenly Father? The second half of Philippians ch 1 challenges us to get our priorities right - the Gospel is all that matters!

You take on their customs and habits. You wear their clothes, eat their food, learn their language. You love ...read more
