    This sermon pulls together the "bronze serpent" event in Numbers with John 3:14-21. Jesus is the object that is tangable. Other world religions offered in our pluralistic culture Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism offer ladders to God... Jesus is the lad

     | 6,100 views

    Seeking personal pleasure is seen as the highest priority of modern culture. In our passage today Paul affirms the opposite to be true: humanity’s chief goal ought to be to take pleasure in pleasing God. The question we are going to address today is ho

     | 4,895 views

    We’re to be counter-cultural in the way we fight against the social pressures of our world where the norm is to respond to hurt with anger and revenge, where lust is seen as normal, faithfulness as an option. Rather we’re to respond with the servant love

    According to the Age this week, the seven deadly sins have been knocked for six. No longer do we worry about sloth, gluttony or lust. In fact most respondents to a recent survey carried out by the BBC said they rather enjoyed those particular vices. The trouble is, according to a professor of ...read more

    The Irreducible Cross

    based on 19 ratings
     | 3,350 views

    As much as our culture, or we, might try, to remove it as a barrier...as much as the world might like to make it into only a symbol, and rob it of its eternal meaning, the cross is irreducible. It’s irreducible in time. It’s irreducible in eternity.

    The Irreducible Cross TCF Good Friday sermon March 25, 2005 I found this quote a few weeks ago in an article on a very popular TV preacher. This guy sells tickets to his national tour, and fills 15-20,000-seat arenas with his positive message. In this quote, he describes his own church, ...read more

    The Holy Spirit exposes how some leadership models only succeed temporarily as they meet some contextual need. Some leaders apply certain traditional leadership models because they are merely looking at the immediate cultural, financial and social needs o

    We as Christians have the truth found in the person of Jesus Christ. What is the problem in communicating that truth? Many people in our culture and world today don't even know the question to ask so that we can give the answer in Jesus.

    Intro: As the new year approaches we need more than ever to know who we are and what we are supposed to be about.

    based on 12 ratings
     | 21,933 views

    Justification sounds like a $20 word that nobody would use outside of Church. But surprisingly the words justify and justification are interwoven into our culture and are used in ways that tell us a lot about what God did when He justified us.

    How To Judge Not

     | 4,532 views

    Don't judge me! Who are you to judge me? Popular ideas in today's culture need biblical guidance. Let's look a bit at what this is all about and how God wants us to understand and act regarding judging others.

    Matthew 7 Jesus' words: do not judge, are perhaps the most popular words of our culture today. How do you judge not? Particularly, how do you judge not as Jesus taught us? This command in the sermon on the mount is couched in front of another command that seems very much like a judgment call. ...read more

    If we're going to accomplish the mission Christ gave us of equipping people to follow Him in a hostile culture, then we need to commit ourselves fully to God, communicate that commitment, and count on God to accomplish His plan in the midst of our pain.

    Our media and our culture here in the United States has tried to fill our minds with pictures of what the ideal person should look like. This has led many to develop eating disorders, The same happens in a spiritual sense also.
