  • How God’s Blessings Can Lead To Pride Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 17, 2015
     | 7,612 views

    A look at the ways that God's blessings can lead us away from Him. Uzziah provides a clear example of the problem.

    WHEN GOOD THINGS GO BAD: Sometimes God’s blessings lead people away from God. - 2 Chronicles 26:16. - This is not just something we see here. In the Mosaic Law, as God tells Israel that their obedience will lead to Him blessing, He then explicitly warns them that there is a great danger ...read more

    Four insights on receiving more from the Word in worship.

    WHY DID THEY PUBLICLY READ THE SCRIPTURE? Because most of the church could not read. - 1 Timothy 4:13. - Why does Paul command for the Word to be read in worship?

    Some reflections on Nehemiah's opponents, Sanballat and Tobiah; sermon for a church about to vote on a building program.

    Last week as we spoke about Nehemiah and God’s vision for the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s wall, I hope one theme came through loud and clear: When God wants something, He’s going to get what He wants. The only question for us is, “Who is on the Lord’s side?” In ...read more

    WHY TREAT EACH OTHER LIKE FAMILY? We are God’s eternal family. - 1 Timothy 5:1-2. - Because we are family! - Why is this so needed today? a. The prevalence of loneliness in our society. b. The joy of being “where everybody knows your name.” c. How hard life is and how much ...read more

  • Why Does The Government Do More Than The Church To Help The Poor? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2015
     | 5,428 views

    This passage on the care of widows opens up a larger question: what's the place the church should have in the care of the poor (versus the place the government should have)?

    THE POINT OF THE PASSAGE: Taking care of the needy widows was a big deal in the early church. - There was a different societal structure and a lack of social safety net back then. The church stepped in to help. - Unpack some of the passage. - The passage raises a more general question: why ...read more

     | 5,951 views

    An examination of what HAS changed, what HAS NOT changed, and what NEEDS to change in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to force same-sex marriage on the American people.

    I want to address three matters in this message with regard to the Supreme Court’s supremely satanic decision in Obergefell v. Hodges: What has changed, what hasn’t changed, and what must change. First of all, what has changed? For one thing, this nation. Obergefell v. Hodges is new ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,956 views

    A look at two of the sections in 1 Timothy that deal with the pastoral role.

    - First, let me say up front that this is not going to be an exciting sermon. I say that because the subject is one that is not particularly pressing. It is important, but most prefer sermons that focus on your personal walk with the Lord. This message deals with a corporate concern. - ...read more

    WHAT ARE OUR JUDGMENT DAY PLANS? - Hebrews 9:27 tells us that everyone will be judged by God. - This is something that we all intrinsically know: there needs to accountability for what we’ve done in this life. - So many things are left undone by this life in terms of justice that there has ...read more

    WHY DOES GOD JUDGE CHRISTIANS? Christians will be judged, not for salvation but for rewards. - 1 Corinthians 3:11-15. - There are two judgments: one for the unsaved and one for the saved. The one for the unsaved is a judgment for heaven or hell and it doesn’t end well. The one for the ...read more

     | 7,279 views

    An examination of the call for us to pray for our political leaders as well as some of the reasons that we usually fail to fulfill that obligation.

    THREE WAYS WE INTERACT WITH OUR POLITICAL LEADERS: 1. We complain about them. - Today this is our default position. Everyone is terrible, everything is terrible. This one’s a liar, that one’s a thief. This one is kicking puppies, that one hates babies. - And so we complain. 2. We ...read more
