    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 1, 2023
     | 1,714 views

    Scripture constantly promises that God will exalt the humble. But what if you don’t desire exaltation? This message will help you see why we must pursue exaltation from God and how we can do so by fulfilling what is lacking in Christ’s suffering. Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 1, 2023
     | 1,383 views

    Jesus was fully God and fully man, and the fourth aspect of his example of humility was obedience – to God and to human authorities. So God exalted him by making him Lord and Judge over all. Therefore we should obey – because of his example and because of his supremacy and lordship as judge.

    Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the very form of God, did not consider that equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very form of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 1, 2023

    The commands God gives us are like a foreman telling a worker to move a mountain. A shovel (his own strength) won’t work, but neither will a lawn chair. The power comes from the earth mover, but operating that entails hard work.

    Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act for the sake of his good pleasure.

    There is controversy surrounding how the Sermon on the Mount should be interpreted. Is it law? Grace? Is it binding on us today? How can we possibly live that way?

    The sermon on the mount makes some very hard demands on us.

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 6, 2024
     | 2,188 views

    I believe this is one of the most important sermons I’ve ever preached—especially the first half, which describes what “seeing” an invisible God means, and the specific ways in which seeing God transforms your character. The rest of the message is about how to see God through purity of heart.
