    Conversion does not mean arrival. It signals the beginning of a journey of growth. We are to be like Christ, and this growth requires disciplines.

    [Most of the thoughts in this sermon come from Dallas Willard’s book The Spirit of the Disciplines.] Eph 4:12 “…to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.” Matt 28:19-20 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name ...read more

    Christians need to have a "whatever" attitude in doing God’s work. It means that we will do whatever it takes.

    Having a “Whatever” Attitude 1 Tim 6 This pastoral letter written by Paul to his young charge Timothy is filled with practical advice to us in the 21st century.

    This sermon explores on how we can have peace with God and what it means for us to be living and sharing that peace.

    Being "in" the Will of God doesn’t necessarily mean that we aren’t distracted by human concerns and relationships.

    Personally, I have a lot of trouble with the theological term, “the permissive will of God.” We usually apply it whenever someone has done something wrong or merely made a foolish, but not deliberate, choice and then, God makes something good out of the human mess. My problem with the term is that ...read more

    Why is the term ‘Christ’ associated with Jesus’ name? What does ‘Christ’ mean? That is the topic that we will be considering today.

    We find that in the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as “Jesus Christ” one hundred and thirty-four times. For someone new to the Scriptures, since ‘Christ’ follows ‘Jesus’ so frequently, one might get the idea that ‘Christ‘ is Jesus’ surname or last name. However, there are eighty-six times in ...read more

    The church must hold to the right doctrine. In Pergamos, they held to the name of Christ, but it had no content or real meaning to them.

    As the messenger who was carrying this letter from the island of Patmos where John wrote it, he would have come to Ephesus first. He would have stayed there while it was read and then left them a copy. Then he would have headed north to Smyrna and done the same thing. The third stop on his ...read more
