     | 5,923 views

    Faith is so central to our salvation that there are those who believe believing is the ONLY thing we need to do to be saved. But is that true, and where did that idea come from?

    In my files I have a comment of an economics professor who explained his problem with Jesus. He said, “I really don’t see how Jesus can be the only way to heaven.

    This sermon is an exposition of "The Lord's Prayer." This prayer is sometimes called “The Model Prayer,” and it is an outline for prayer that all of us, as disciples of Jesus, should seek to follow when coming before the Lord with our petitions.

    In our message this morning, we are going to look at what is called “The Lord’s Prayer.” And I want to get started by sharing how the gospel writer Luke prefaces this prayer. We read in Luke 11:1-2, “Now it came to pass, as [Jesus] was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His ...read more

    The healing of the lame man at the Pool of Bethesda is an amazing picture of salvation. Jesus, our merciful deliverer, is the only one who can heal us of our sickness of sin.

    That’s Not How It Works John 5:1-15 • There’s a story about a man who died and stood before the gates of Heaven • An angel met him and said We have a new plan for getting into heaven • We are now using a points system • You need 1000 points to enter • The man confident in his righteous life knew ...read more

    Jesus warned about the problems associated with criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement. He then said that we need to use discernment when dealing with some people.

    This morning, we are going to look at the problem of judging others. The definition for the word “judge” that applies to our passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often being “critical” ...read more

    The great men of the kingdom came from far and near and stood around the image. Among them, by command of the King, were Daniel's three friends, the young Jews, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. For some reason, Daniel himself was not there.
