     | 4,815 views

    A sermon discussing the need for ritual in raising our children in a post-modern society.

    Last week I spoke to you about the need to throw traditions by the way side if the principles of the gospel or models of the New Testament dictate the need to do so. I’m changing my mind about that this week. Well, not really, but I am going to try to provide the balance to that ...read more

    Jesus invites us to be shrewd in our efforts to spread the gospel, and extravagant in our praise of God.

    16 Pentecost C Luke 16:1-13 23 September 2001 Have you ever been suckered by someone shrewd? So shrewd that you can only admire his shrewdness?

    John the Baptist declares, "It is time!"

    This is a great text. The majesty of the writing -- what would Christmas be without the Christmas text from Luke? "In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus . . . ." All the names and dates. Historical details that make the story come alive. The event, marked in time and place -- in the ...read more

    "You brood of Vipers!" and still they come.

    What do we do with this John the Baptist? Here is the third Sunday in a row with him. Such a strange man. "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" Heaping abuse on the people. And still they came in droves to be baptized. John had that charisma that attracted people ...read more

    A response sermon to the September 11th WOrld Trade Center attack based on Luke 13:1-5. It deals with both tragedy and terrorism.

    To paraphrase a past President, Tuesday, September 11, 2001 will forever go down in history as a day of infamy. I remember watching as a child the funeral of John F. Kennedy. I remember as a young college student watching the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. The bombings of embassies, the ...read more

    A CULTURE OF CONVENIENCE: Speed, convenience, and ease are all important words. Consumers look for these things.

    We are stewards of God’s property and, as stewards, will be held accountable for our managing of what has been entrusted to us.

    The Bottom Line For obvious reasons, this is Jesus’ most difficult parable. How could Jesus use such an obviously dishonest man as an example for His disciples? I think God uses evil things ...read more

     | 6,147 views

    Why receiving God’s forgiveness and extending forgiveness to others is essential to prayer.

    This last week we’ve heard a lot of rhetoric in light of September 11th’s terrorist attack on our nation. We’ve heard our president use words like "dead or alive" and punishing evil doers. We’ve heard the military’s phrase "infinite justice." We’ve been bombarded with words like hate crimes, ...read more

    A message addressing the reality of hell.

    It Makes No Sense! A Message on Hell 1. As real as the Bible’s teaching on Heaven is, is its teachings on Hell. It is not a popular subject, and not a popular place. It is as negative a teaching as found in Scripture, and as emphatic as any truth in the Bible. ...read more
