    He is better than the prophets, better than the Law and the sacrifices, better than the angels.

    About 6 or 7 years ago a new merchandizing craze began, and although at the time I thought it to be another passing fad, it seems that it has not only not died out...but has really only slowed down a little bit in all that time. I’m referring to angels. The merchandizing of everything ...read more

    This sermon is a very personal take on the theme of The Sufficiency of Jesus Christ. It was written in the wake of the death of my brother from cancer.

    Sermon for CATM - June 24, 2007 - The All-Sufficient Christ “What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any ...read more

    In today's lesson we are urged not to present the gospel according to the world's wisdom. Instead of relying on logic and rhetoric, we should focus our attention on the central message of the Person and Work of Jesus Christ.

    Scripture Today we continue studying The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians in a series I am calling Challenges Christians Face. Christians in the church at Corinth had misunderstood the nature of wisdom with regard to salvation. From Paul’s perspective human wisdom opposes God’s ...read more

    Ephesians 2:14-18 gives us a description of the reconciling work of Christ.

    In today's lesson, the prologue of Christ's revelation shows just hat the Book of Revelation was revealed for witness, which results in blessing.

    Scripture Today, I am starting a new series of messages. It is called, “Christ’s Message to the Seven Churches,” and it is based on the first three chapters of the Book of Revelation. These chapters deal with Christ’s message to seven churches that were located in Asia ...read more

    We have many traditions celebrated during Christmas, where did they come from? Are they scriptual? In this sermon we discuss the Star, the Magi, and the Christmas tree, but they are nothing without Christ, Keep Christ in Christmas

Last week we discussed the origins of the date, and of Santa Claus, today I wish to discuss The Star, The Magi, and the Christmas Tree. 1. The Star: a. Some think ...read more

    Many people know or knew God in a partial sense, but through Jesus Christ we can know him deeply.

    The Amazing Jesus Christ (John 1:14-18) 1. Most people know that Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, but they really do not understand as much as we think they do. In a small Southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One ...read more

    We find Mary, who was the sister of Lazarus who would give the moon if it were hers to give. Mary gave extravagantly to the Lord.

    I get motivated when I hear songs about the extent people will go for love. I read this poetic expression of love recently. I would climb highest mountain for your love.

    The Gift of Christ, Luke 1:35 (Christmas Eve Message) Introduction “Mommy, what is Christmas?” asked the three-year-old girl.

    Does our birth / lineage / descent determine from where we came, who we are and our eternity? Born in the USA – does it really mean liberty / freedom / living the American dream?

    The Lordship Of The Risen Christ

     | 4,001 views

    A key accomplishment of the empty tomb is so Jesus might be “the Lord of both the dead and the living.” Lordship implies ownership or the right to exercise authority over another. When we come to Jesus, we're under new management.

    “Christ died and returned to life so that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.” A few months ago I was summoned to serve jury duty for a serious murder case. Because of my former work with law enforcement and corrections, I wasn't selected, but I followed the case, ...read more
