     | 2,896 views

    In praying for his Christian family in Ephesus, the apostle Paul ends up in a beautiful strain of exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Often praying for others can be what lifts our eyes to the glories and power of Jesus.

    What’s the greatest thing about your life? For the Christian, the best thing is that Christ has first place in your life. Our text here in Ephesians is a celebratory prayer for the full salvation of the believer. It’s all done by Christ and for Christ. When Christ is exalted in the life of the ...read more

     | 2,102 views

    Our personal histories, church history, our culture and experiences all color our view as to what church is about. We need to recalibrate and correct our assumptions by returning to the Scriptures.

    The Major Dynamics of Church Life (Romans 15:1-13) NOTE: If I could do it over again, I would make three sermons from this text. All three points could have used more elaboration than I gave them. In the first point, I could have demonstrated further that the New Testament purpose for church ...read more

    Breathing New Life Into The Church

     | 8,002 views

    There are churches (and individual Christians) who look at the trouble and hardships their dealing with and feel that God has forsaken them. They feel like their spiritual life is being sapped right out of them, and are on the brink of giving up.

    BREATHING NEW LIFE IN THE CHURCH A. How is your WALK with Christ? 1. I think most Christians will answer that question with, "It’s good." COMMENT: Deep down, however, something is MISSING. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but the JOY you once had in Christ is DIMINISHING. ...read more

     | 8,985 views

    Scripture says that Jesus is our "mediator." What is a mediator and what did Jesus do to fill that need in our lives?

    OPEN: Humorist Dave Barry once wrote about gifts that were given to Jesus by the Wise Men. He suggested that if you carefully analyzed what the Bible tells us, you’d find there was an overlooked theological fact in the story. There is no mention of wrapping paper. Now why would the wisemen not use ...read more
