    Jesus quotes the first line of Ps22 but evokes the entire Psalm as an expression of what he’s experiencing at that moment. His experience of abandonment is tempered by his faith in the God who saves.

    This page contains the entire service but without the poems by Nell Hodgson for which I do not yet have copyright release or the Audiovisual Meditation (Powerpoint Presentation) which was too large to be included.

    What's A Preacher To Do? Series

    After Paul's customary, brief introduction, he moved right into the challenges facing Timothy in his ministry in Ephesus. We can distill Paul's advice to Timothy down into four directives.

    Introduction: A. Ministry can be a challenge for ministers and for members – How’s that for an understatement? B. But imagine seeing this “want ad” for a preacher: 1. “Must have experience as a shepherd, CEO, office manager, educator, salesman, diplomat, referee, writer, theologian, politician, ...read more

    Part 3 in series Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, this message looks at false messages we learn in childhood and their effects on us in adulthood, and explains why the pain of moving out of the false self is preferable to the pain of staying in it.

    Paul defines and defends the Gospel message against all counterfeit gospels.

    One of the early Church Fathers said that, when reading Paul’s letters, he could hear thunder! Galatians is a thunderous epistle, filled with passion and warning. Martin Luther declared it his favorite book of the Bible. The German Reformer said that the message of Galatians would ...read more

    I Have A Friend Who Thinks That The Bible Is Just Another Book

     | 3,000 views

    If God who we know exists were to write a book - we would expect it to be unique (to be in a class all by itself) accurate (we could trust what it says) and supernatural (it would know stuff that only God could know) - I contend the bible is such a book.

    I Have A Friend Who… (pt 2) Thinks The Bible Is Just Another Book Last week we began a new message series called – “I Have A Friend Who…” The theme verse is 1 Peter 3:15… “…always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with ...read more

    A preacher is very much like a traffic engineer. And the preachers of Jesus’ day were routing the traffic right off a washed-out bridge with no warning. For real love always stands against deception.

    While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of ...read more

     | 4,130 views

    Having been betrayed, arrested, and taken to the home of the high priest, Jesus then faced preposterous allegations. Finally admitting that He was the Son of God, the council voted to codemn Jesus for blasphemy.

    Accused before the Council Mark 14: 53-65 Jesus has now been betrayed by Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane and is led away to stand trial before the Sanhedrin. Our text deals with the mock trial, standing before the council of the Pharisees. John’s gospel records that Jesus stood before Annas, ...read more
