    Gospel-Fitted Feet Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 26, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,836 views

    The Gospel gives us stability, balance, mobility, and readiness for the battles we face. The Gospel message is good news for people who are ready to live.

    “Stand firm…with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace,” Ephesians 6:15. A few years ago I had a tour of nearby Natick Labs. It is a most unusual Army base, with more civilians than active duty military. Their mission is: “To create the ...read more

    The Breastplate Of Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 19, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,938 views

    We utilize what God has issued us for the conflict. We need protection. Which breastplate are we trusting? Our own, or Christ's righteousness? Don't go to war without the Breastplate of Righteousness.

    In today’s military, a critical element of force protection is body armor. The Army issues Kevlar flak vests to soldiers to protect their upper body. DuPont, the manufacturer, claims they’re lightweight, but I’d disagree. It doesn’t take long to feel weighed down. ...read more

    The Belt Of Truth Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 12, 2014
     | 5,720 views

    The Belt of Truth supports us in the daily battles of life, in a world where Truth is relative, where people make their own truth. God's word is truth that provides direction and ultimately victory.

    “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.” Are you properly equipped for battle? When I deployed to Iraq, an essential item of issued equipment was my web belt, which we call our “battle rattle.” It doesn’t seem important, yet on it ...read more

    Be Strong In The Lord Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 5, 2014
     | 5,402 views

    We enter spiritual warfare trained and ready, and confident in our equipment and our Commander.

    For this sermon series, if you hear something that stirs you, don’t say “Amen” but “Hooah!” Our world is “enemy-occupied territory” (C.S. Lewis). The Christian life is not a playground but a battleground! There is much opposition raging against people of ...read more

    The Pearl Of Great Price Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 7, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,157 views

    The good news is of infinite worth; when we discover it, everything else is put in proper perspective.

    “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.” In a parable, Jesus conveys the worth of the Kingdom… The merchant in this parable seems to be doing fairly well. ...read more

    Boasting In The Cross Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,223 views

    Paul concludes his Epistle by summarizing his arguments and by glorying in the Cross, which makes us free.

    Free at last! Galatians is all about freedom…but if we’re not careful we can abuse it. Freedom is not a license to sin. Nor is it a lack of responsibility. New Hampshire’s motto is “Live free or die.” Our motto as Christians should be “Live holy or ...read more

    Sowing & Reaping Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 10, 2014
     | 6,711 views

    -Sowing to the flesh means being self-absorbed, living according to our sinful/fallen nature. -Sowing to the Spirit means living for God, abiding in our regenerate nature. Which nature wins? The one we feed the most.

    Introduction: A comedian said, “Why am I always getting blamed for things I do?” In this passage, Paul reminds us: choices have consequences. This is a fixed law of human nature. “Sow a thought, reap an act; sow an act, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a ...read more

    Fulfilling The Law Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 3, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,462 views

    Paul gives 6 characteristics of successful churches. We should not keep our burdens to ourselves. We are part of a caring community of faith, and we’re to help when people are hurting, we respond.

    Introduction: People dislike accountability. They prefer to go their own way without answering to others. Among Christians, this attitude breeds self-reliant “Lone Ranger” believers and independent churches. Yet life works better when there is a “chain-of-command”, when ...read more

    In Step With The Spirit Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 27, 2014
     | 5,040 views

    We live in opposition to the world, and we're engaged in an internal struggle between the old and new natures, a clash of opposites described as the fruit of 2 trees--the works of the flesh & the fruit of the Spirit.

    Introduction: How’s your walk with the Lord? God doesn’t demand perfection, but He does expect some progress. If we’re walking in step with the Spirit, our lives will demonstrate an on-going devotion to God, His word, His church, and His people. Liberty or License, 16-18: ...read more

    The Only Thing That Matters Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 6, 2014
     | 4,973 views

    If we try to be justified by keeping the Law, we’ve abandoned grace as our means of salvation. And having been set free, liberated by Christ, what will we do with our freedom? Jesus grants us an opportunity to live and love like never before!

    Introduction: According to news reports, criminal gangs have tried to infiltrate the ranks of Scotland's police force, to obtain information and undermine law enforcement. You can just imagine the awful consequences. Paul was also dealing with infiltrators--in the church--people who insisted ...read more

    The Two Sons Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 29, 2014
     | 4,809 views

    Performance-based religion is a dead-end. We’re faced with a choice: -Slavery or freedom; -Righteousness by keeping the law, or righteousness by faith in God’s promises.

    Introduction: A man asked Jesus how to get to Heaven. In typical Jewish fashion, Jesus answered the question with a question: “What do you think?” The man suggested, “By keeping the law,” and Jesus said (with a smile), “Fine, do that and you’ll make it!” ...read more

    Slave Or Son? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,233 views

    Do we embrace the status of slaves or sons? Our relationship to God gives us the courage to take a stand for truth.

    Introduction: Last time we were faced with a choice: Do we trust the Law to save us, or the Promise of God? Today we have a similar decision: Do we embrace the status of slaves or sons? Verses 1-10 On the way to the Promised Land, the Israelites grumbled and wished they had stayed in Egypt. ...read more

    The Law And The Promise Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 16, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,614 views

    Being “in” Christ means we live in the One who is the driving principle of our lives, and we’re brought together into a new family as heirs of God’s promise through the adoption of grace.

    Introduction: Promises, promises--do you keep your promises? Probably better than some politicians. Will Rogers quipped, “If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in acceptance speeches there wouldn’t be any inducement to go to Heaven.” Or how about this employee ...read more

    Two Pathways Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 2, 2014
     | 3,811 views

    Performance-based religion is not the Gospel. In both the OT & NT redemption comes via grace apart from works.

    Introduction: “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I took the one less traveled by” wrote Robert Frost. There are two roads before us and only one leads to Heaven. Which one is it--the road of good works or faith? Works will get us lost in the woods. When we realize that none of ...read more

    Justification By Faith Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 25, 2014
     | 3,768 views

    The earliest controversy in the church was over a critical matter: What does it mean in practical terms to be a member of God’s family? Also, coming to Christ is an act of self-denial. We are “under new management.”

    Introduction: One thing we can all agree on: People rarely agree! Even in the early church there was conflict; and while we’d prefer unity among believers, disputes happen. In an awkward moment Peter and Paul were at odds. Paul confronted the head of the church to his face…because ...read more
