    Proper 17 (A) We are lost in sin and lost in ourselves. But Christ has redeemed the world. Therfore, those who lose their old selves shall find themselves in Christ, who is Life indeed.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Keepers, Weepers, Losers, Finders” Jesus tells us that to be His disciples, we must deny ourselves, and take up our cross. Now, whatever ...read more

    What Is Church?

     | 6,311 views

    This may be one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Christian faith. A look into the word of God in Matthew brings to light the amazing calling that Jesus intends for us.

    What is Church? Listen to Matthew 16:13-28. Pay attention to how Jesus describes "Church," his path, and our relationship with Him. Matthew 16:18 gives us the first mention of the English word “church” in the New Testament. In all of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John this word “church” only occurs ...read more

    Peter fails to see Jesus's supremecy and plan for the coming kingdom and tries to push his plan instead. We often do the same in telling God how things are going to work instead of looking at his plan

    Have you ever stuck your foot in your mouth? Have you ever had a time where you thought you knew what you were talking about but it turns out that you didn’t quite have all the facts straight. It can be a little embarrassing. [Like the stock boy at the grocery store. A lady asked him, "Can I buy ...read more

    This is a sermon that will help us to look at circumstances in a new light.

    Today is Mission Sunday. There are many different preaching styles. One of my favorite styles is to ask a question and then answer the question through the sermon. Jesus used this style in his ministry. Usually Jesus did this when the Jewish leaders were trying to trap Him. He would answer ...read more

    What if this text is about not being afraid; not being afraid of death. About not fearing the suffering places in our lives that can often feel so much like death. For the moment we start to fear death, it will not long before we start to fear life. Updated August 2020.

    “But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man” (Mat. 16:3).

How to become a Christian is relatively easy to answer and is illustrated in Peter’s confession ...read more
