    God's Call Series

    This begins with the historical evidence from the ancient kingdom of Ebla that validates the life of Abraham and then I will look at God’s call. How He used Abram’s humanity, weakness and faith to open the door of God’s purpose.

    God’s Call Genesis 11 ends with the genealogy leading up to Abram (later Abraham). Terah took his son Abram and his wife Saria, and grandson Lot and headed toward Canaan. They did not get to Canaan, but dwelled in the city of Haran (which is probably named after Abram’s brother who died after he ...read more

    How can you know for sure if you are a Christian? James has a pretty good idea . . .

    Is Your Faith Alive or Dead? James 2:14-26 Suppose I were to stand before you today and hold up this object (in this case, a piece of chewing gum) and tell you that it is a piece of gum. How would you know that what I am saying is true? You could assume that I am telling the truth because you ...read more

    A challenge to anyone who professes to have faith in Christ.

    INTRODUCTION It’s not what we claim to be as Christians, but what we are seen to be that really matters. Anyone can claim to have faith in Christ, but if that claim to faith is not backed up or authenticated by the things we do, then, says James, it’s nothing more than dead faith: an empty ...read more

    based on 99 ratings

    The smoking pot, flaming torch and God’s covenant with Himself that benefited Abraham is a reflection of our covenant of grace. This sermon looks at the promise that is not dependent upon us, but on God’s grace.

    The Covenant of Grace Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer ...read more

    Faith and works are not mutually exclusive - only two sides of the same coin.

    James 2 vv 14-26 Don’t just sit there. Do something! My dearest Sally, I love you more than anything else in the whole world. I would climb the highest mountain just to be with you. I would walk across the hottest desert just to be with you. I would swim the deepest ocean just to be with you. ...read more

    A sermon on racial tolerance and love for all humankind.

    Mark 7:24-37 "There are No Foreigners in God’s Sight" We humans are a strange breed. Why on earth do we feel as if we have to discriminate between others based on where the others were born, or where they live, or what color their skin is, or if they are rich or poor, a Southerner or a Yankee, ...read more

    A neglected friendship teaches that faith and works must be the "best of friends."

    On a pleasant leisurely day this past summer, I drove my car up the steep hill on Urf Road in the little town of Cowlesville, and stopped by the childhood home of my best friend from middle school, Bret. Bret and I spent a lot of time together during the summers and did the kinds of things that ...read more

    Pentecost 17: It is uncomfortable to consider the shortcomings of our faith life. This message focuses on The advice that the Epistle of James gives us to make our faith vital and active.

    There is one device in many homes that is despised. It is often ignored and hidden away because we just simply don’t want to deal it. When we use it, it can have a wonderful or terrible effect on us. Is it the lawn mower? No! Is it the microwave oven? No! Is it the vacuum cleaner? No! It’s the ...read more

    There’s no conflict between faith and works in the Bible- nor in James. Genuine faith will lead to works. (slight evangelistic edge to sermon)

WBC 26/10/03am INTRODUCTION: Blondin (Jean Francoise Gravolet) B. 1824. was one of the greatest tightrope walkers of all time, and there are many legends told of feats he performed.

    faith without works is dead

    James 2:19-26 Show Me Your Faith. I once heard a pastor say, “If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?” I believe that it was Augustine who said, “Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is never alone.” Good works do not save, we are saved ...read more
