    If You Love Me Premium Sermon

    The sermon explores the challenge of obeying Jesus' commands of love, forgiveness, and mercy, and the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering believers to live out these commands.

    I think we can all admit here today that obedience is difficult. It’s difficult to learn, difficult to teach, and it’s a difficult process to watch play out in the lives of others around us. It’s not something we’re good at, hard wired for, or frankly… enjoy. Once upon a time, there was a young ...read more

    3rd Sunday in Advent, Year A; The world is looking for the kind of joy God has promised us in Christ, but it is a deeper joy than just saying, "Don’t worry, be happy!"

    "The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the ...read more

    Part 2 - God cannot resist true humility in his children.

    A couple of weeks ago, as I was finishing our teaching on the life of Moses, I told you that I have a weakness for heroes. A part of what makes heroes so attractive is their rugged independence. They just don’t need anyone else…however, that’s really not a strength. In fact I need to learn how ...read more

    Jesus grew up in Nazareth and he was forever known as "Jesus of Nazareth". But what was it about this city that would have formed His teachings and what can we learn from this region? This was the 2nd in my series of lessons telling of my trip to Israel.
