    The hard commands of Jesus are best understood as being directed to the church, which should be a Community of Grace. This sermon addresses Jesus’ teaching on lust, sin and adultery.

    The Examined Life in the Community of Grace Our key scripture today suggested to me the sermon title, The Examined Life”. You may have heard of this saying by Socrates, an ancient philosopher: “The unexamined life is not worth living." It struck me that, in some very strong language, what ...read more

    I’m afraid that the sad testimony in America today is that anything and everything causes us to quit; yet in the Book of Hebrews, nothing could stop them. People hit a little problem or anxiety, and they’re ready to bail out on their faith and bail out on

He was a man of stature, taller than all his peers, an apt warrior king. Just the sort of man Israel needed to oppose the Philistines. Except that he was ...read more
