    God’s desire is for us to be builders of people (our family, fellow church members, co-workers, spouse, and kids). How can we do this? Let’s look at the negative example of the Pharisees and turn it into some positive principles.

    How to Be a Builder (not a Bulldozer) Mark 7:1-23 Introduction: 1. At the time of Jesus’ ministry to Israel, the Pharisees and scribes were the religious leaders who knew about the true God, knew the Scriptures, and knew about the prophecies of a coming Christ. 2.

  • The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,215 views

    The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

    A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more

     | 1,090 views

    We have been forgiven in Christ for the sins that we have committed and confessed. But the underlying condition out of which these sins arise - what’s to be done about that?

    “Out, damned spot!” may be one of the most widely recognized lines Shakespeare ever wrote. I wonder why? In a more innocent age it might have been for the forbidden thrill of saying “damn.” But of course that doesn’t apply any more, does it. It’s one of the milder epithets available. If that’s the ...read more

     | 912 views

    Walk by the Spirit is the secret of the Christian life. In this message we look at the well-known verses connected with the deeds of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. God’s appointed way to walk is by the Spirit, and NO OTHER way is acceptable; the walk of faith through the Spirit.

     | 296 views

    Jesus, in the Gospel, enumerates the evil we must avoid, or repent of if we haven’t avoided it. It’s like a to-do list from a modern person’s daily schedule, isn’t it?
