    In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

    Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more

    This sermon focuses on "Your Kingdom come" in the Lord's Prayer. What does it mean to pray for that to come about?

    “YOUR KINGDOM COME": Jesus is inaugurating a kingdom. - Matthew 6:10. - So there is an important and underused word here in this part of the Lord’s Prayer: kingdom. - Let’s set the stage as we have in previous sermons. This is the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus is teaching us how to pray. He is ...read more

    This is the 37th sermon in a series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we examine the crowds that shouted Hosanna during the Triumphal Entry, but then later demanded that Jesus be crucified, and we discuss what led to this, and how true faith differs from this.

    Looking Closer at the Triumphal Entry (John Part 37) Text: John 12:9-19 We’re continuing on with John’s Gospel this morning, and we’re looking at a text that usually gets addressed on Palm Sunday; we call it the Triumphal Entry. It’s when Jesus enters Jerusalem, riding on a young donkey, and the ...read more

    Bitter or Better The choice really is yours, We cannot choose what comes to us in life but we can choose how we respond to it and that is what determines whether we become better or bitter.

It could also be said: for better or bitter. Or bitter or sweet. Life just has some bitterness built into it. Everyone comes to bitter waters ...read more
