    I Am The Light

    Jesus calls Himself the light of the world. And I think we can simply study what effect physical light has on the areas that it touches and gain some spiritual lessons from that.

    If you remember, last Sunday morning I spoke to you about how God described Himself as the I AM and what all that means to us today. It’s good to know that God is, that He does not change, and that He can be everything we need Him to be. Well, tonight I want to begin a series that will span over ...read more

    Why did God choose to let shepherds be the first to hear the news of the Messiah?

    Over the past few weeks we have been taking a new look at some of the figures of the Christmas story. We’ve taken some time to study the stories within the story. We’ve looked at the story of Mary, the teenaged girl that God chose to be the mother of His Son. Last week we discussed the story of ...read more

    A sermon talking about how Jesus wants our relationships with others to be, and how we can get them there. Communion meditation and sermon MP3 will be placed at www.sermonlist.com

    Do you treat others like you would want them to treat you? We think that if people were nicer to us, we could be nicer to them, don’t we? But that’s the Problem. Jesus didn’t say, “Treat people the same way they treat you.” He said, “Treat people like you would want them to treat you.” We ...read more

    Abraham Justified By Grace - Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Jan 26, 2008

     | 3,391 views

    In this sermon we see that Abraham was not justified by circumcision or by the law; rather, he was justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

    Scripture Let’s read Romans 4:9-17: 9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was ...read more

    Mark shows that Jesus is the authority right at the start of his ministry: He heals at a word or a touch, he drives away and silences demons, He was the authority then, He is the authority now.
