    Praise is making much of what God has done, and isn’t always done with the heart. But worship is about who God is, and cannot be done without the heart.

    Encountering God – Part IV: “The Power of Praise” Review What is worship? It is the meeting of God’s heart and ours. Worship is the response of all we are to who God is and what He has done. Last week I spoke about the “glory” of God, which is intrusion of God’s presence into our physical ...read more

    Paternal Pleas To Posterity

     | 4,046 views

    Calvary Baptist Church, Washington, DC: We will never achieve maturity until we come to terms with our paternity and accept our posterity. Understand that those who shaped us were also maturing; the transforming power of Christ will open wide our hearts.

    All of us aspire to maturity. All of us hope to become mature and complete, grown up in every way, accomplished, respected, and honored. It’s a worthy goal. It’s a proper ambition. But we will never achieve maturity until we come to terms with both our paternity and our posterity. Our ...read more

    Jesus’ parable of the dishonest but shrewd steward shows us that what people want is something real, not just nice thoughts; and that the use of God’s money is our finest responsibility.

    My brother-in-law has a unique ability, a very special talent. He has the ability to go into a men’s clothing store, size up all the merchandise available, and cane out with the very worst, the most atrocious looking stuff that money can buy. What is worse, he does that when he is shopping for me. ...read more

    God’s love for his people is seen in the prayers of the Son.

    Scripture Introduction Someone said, “Trusting God does not mean believing that he will do what you want. It means believing that what he does is good.” The distinction delivers us from the error of demanding that God serve our desires like a genie in a bottle. Christians typically ...read more

    By remaining faithful even in the face of tribulation, we prove the genuineness of our faith and can be assured of eternal life, even in the face of physical death.

    I’d like to begin this morning by reading a portion of an article from the January 2008 issue of “Christianity Today” titled “A Victorious Family.” [Read first part of article]. We’ll come back and finish this account of Necati and Semse a little later, but ...read more

    Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus displays the scope of God’s grace. Matthew’s genealogy is unusual in that it contains the names of four women. Four unlikely women at that; three are gentiles, three are involved in some kind of sexual immorality, one is a pro

    A Reputation Worth Having Series

     | 10,578 views

    The faith of the Roman Christians gave them a reputation that was worth having. Paul shows us two qualities about their faith that gave them a reputation worth having.

    Scripture Benjamin Franklin once said, “Glass, china, and reputation are easily cracked and never well mended.” William Shakespeare’s Othello lamented the loss of his reputation after he had acted foolishly, “Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the ...read more

    Understand what prompted Paul to write the book of Galatians and how his words affect us today.

    “Astonished!” Galatians 1:1-9 INTRO: Have you ever experienced the frustration and shock of finding out that something you felt was very clear and plain had become muddied, confusing, even forgotten?

    If we observe the days, times, and seasons that we live in there are many things that we as a church family can come to conclude. One conclusion that I have come to is that if there has ever been a time that the church must be genuinely healthy, now is th

    Third in a series looking at spiritual warfare not on the basis of popular Christian views, but based on the biblical text.

    The third and hopefully last in this series on spiritual warfare. To go back and recap: 1) So much has been written in the last 35 years, much of it with wild sounding terms like spiritual mapping, casting down strongholds, generational curses and binding spirits. I am not saying, nor have I ...read more

    In today’s lesson we see, first, the request for a sign (that Jesus prove that he is the Messiah, the Son of God, and the Savior of sinners), and second, the response of Jesus.

    Scripture Today is Easter Sunday, the day that the Christian Church around the world celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Two thousand years ago Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Jesus knew that his life mission was “to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). He knew that he was ...read more
