    This is a chapter from my Hebrews study where I stress the value of "Looking Unto Jesus"

    LET US DRAW NEAR WITH A TRUE HEART HEBREWS 10:19-39 At this juncture, we are leaving the Theological and going on to the teachings that involve the practical. Mostly what has been considered up to this point has been for the purpose of defining the Theology of the priesthood as it ...read more

    The hard commands of Jesus are best understood as being directed to the church, which should be a Community of Grace. This sermon addresses Jesus’ teaching on lust, sin and adultery.

    The Examined Life in the Community of Grace Our key scripture today suggested to me the sermon title, The Examined Life”. You may have heard of this saying by Socrates, an ancient philosopher: “The unexamined life is not worth living." It struck me that, in some very strong language, what ...read more

    We like to think of God’s blessings as being rewards for good behavior. That is not always the case. In many cases they are given so that we can benefit the kingdom of God, whether through giving to Him or to others and so strengthening other believers.

    A Wandering Desire Ecclesiastes 2:10 Ecclesiastes takes us on a journey through Solomon’s life and pursuits. A survey of Solomon’s life shows us that he tried many things in his life. These pursuits are discussed in the historical books of 1 Kings, 2 Chronicles and Ecclesiastes. In the ...read more

    Who do people say that Jesus is? Who do you say that Jesus is?

    There are two questions I want to point us in the direction of from this passage of scripture; Mathew ch 16 v 13 Jesus asks, “Who do people say that the son of man is?” And Mathew ch 16 v 15 where Jesus asks “But who do you say that I am?” We start the narrative with this discourse between Jesus ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,531 views

    All Christians are supposed to be ambassadors of Christ. As his ambassadors, we carry his authority. But we avoid showing it because we’re afraid of what people may think of us.

    Other Scriptural passages: Isaiah 66:10-16 Galatians 6:(1-10)14-18 Psalm 66 or 66:1-8 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

    3d week in Lent Year B: Incorporate the Clear, Profound, and Life-Giving Word into your life

    I love songs that tell me clear and profound things about life. I hate music that is nothing but unintelligible and repetitious rants against everything the musician can see.

    The Nourishment You Need

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,055 views

    This is a sermon that focuses primarily on Amos 8, looking at how a deficiency of the Word of God plays out in our lives individually and as a culture.

    Amos has always seemed to me like a man I could enjoy being around. He was plain spoken, and to the point. He was the kind of guy who appreciated hard work. Amos was a shepherd. He didn’t shepherd those pretty, fluffy white sheep. Based on the word used, he worked with a really ugly, ...read more
