    Explores the tension in our lives generated by the absence of Christ after his Ascension. There is, however encouragement and hope for us, both in the "already" of our present salvation and in the "not yet" of the coming consummation at Christ’s Return.

    The Real Absence of Christ Part #1 For Ascension and Pentecost 2001 Acts 1:1-11 1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 ...read more

    Salvation is a personal matter but the church still has an important role in our faith, according to Jesus

    Introductory Considerations 1. "I really do not need the church. I grew up in a church and I was not too impressed. Saw these people come each week dressed in their Sunday best, not only their best clothes but in their best behaviour. They sounded so sincere but if I saw them during the week, they ...read more

     | 11,946 views

    What does God want from me? Give away all my money? Live as a hermit? We examine Micah’s answer to the ultimate question: How does God want me to live in the real world? *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Background: I’m wearing my gym clothes this morning – warm-up pants, jersey, tennis shoes. I had a friend tell me he couldn’t find anything to wear to church.

    New Clothes/New Image

    based on 26 ratings
     | 8,484 views

    We sense that we’ve got an image problem. Like Adam and Eve before us, we try to fix it with clothing. But it can only be truly fixed with the garments of Salvation which our Lord provides through his Son Jesus

    “I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness.” Does this look all right? Do these go together or do they clash? Does this make me look fat? These are the kinds of questions we impose upon ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,748 views

    This sermon gives the recipe for conquering fear. It also has a radically new interpretation of the command, "Stand Still." I used it for Halloween but it is applicable any time.

    CONQUERING FEAR Exodus 13:13-14 Since today is HALLOWEEN, I decided to go with that theme. However, when I went on sermon sites... looking for ideas... all of the resources were ANTI-HALLOWEEN. They all talked about how it is a pagan holiday and is about worshiping evil spirits, or Satan. Well, I ...read more
