Trusting God in trials, resisting temptation, and living out our faith through obedient action shapes us into Christlike people who impact the world.
Some weeks feel like a head-on collision with life, don’t they? The calendar crowds you. The headlines haunt you. The phone rings and your heart sinks—another bill, another doctor’s report, another hard conversation. In moments like these, James steps into our living room with a calm, steady voice ...read more
Scripture: James 1:1-27
Topics: Practice, Perfection
Following Jesus means embracing His challenging teachings, trusting Him even when it’s hard, and letting His words transform us beyond our comfort and preferences.
Some of the most life-giving words Jesus speaks are also the ones that make us swallow hard. You’ve felt that, haven’t you? You’re reading the Bible in the early hush of morning, coffee cooling by your chair, and a sentence seems to stand up from the page. It has weight. It has heat. It asks ...read more

A study in the book of Romans 11: 1 – 36
Romans 11: 1 – 36 The special number? 1 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads ...read more

It is better to rejoice over what you have than to weep over what you used to have.
Overcoming Disappointment Ezra 3 The year is 537 B.C. The place is Jerusalem. The Jews have just returned from a long captivity in Babylon. Some have been gone from their homeland for 70 years. Others have been gone for 50 years. They were sent into captivity as part of God’s judgment on ...read more

Is the Christian life a constant challenge to improve and please God, or a soft rocking chair of comfort as we wait for heaven? The truth is somewhere in the middle.
Sometimes it seems that the Christian community is divided into two different camps. One camp views the Christian life as one of a constant challenge to do better, to try harder, to work to please God. And the other extreme tends to see the Christian life as basking in the warm glow of salvation ...read more
Scripture: 1 John 2:12-14
The young church plant in Thessalonica serves as a good example for what the witness of a healthy church looks like.
The Witness of a Healthy Church I Thessalonians 1:8-10 Introduction: This morning’s message is the last in a three-part series in which we’ve looked at the characteristics of a healthy church. We’ve been looking at the young church in Thessalonica, which the apostle Paul planted almost two ...read more

Today we move to an unnamed mystery man. We established that the first verses in Matthew’s gospel are perhaps the most neglected in the New Testament; and this morning we’re going to look at one of the most widely known sections of Scripture.
Three years ago I began a message with a Christmas Quiz. I recently came across some additional questions to test our knowledge of the Nativity. 1. Jesus was born in what town? a. Jerusalem b. Nazareth c. Bethlehem d. Milwaukee 2. Why didn’t Joseph and Mary stay at the inn? a. It was too ...read more
Scripture: Luke 2:1-7
This sermon looks at the command of loving those of the household of faith, conflict in the church and restoration of those who stumble.
Love is the single most important command in the scriptures. Jesus taught that the single greatest commandment in the Bible is to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. He followed up by saying that the second greatest commandment draws from the first – love your neighbor as ...read more
Scripture: Hebrews 12:14-15, 1 John 4:20-21
Not only is Psalm 139 important theologically, but it is a good model for learning what we need to do in beginning to pray successfully by praying the Scriptures themselves.
In the “Dark Ages” of television, before there were hundreds of cable channels with nothing to watch and before there was even color broadcasting, much less HDTV, the news division of one of the networks (CBS) had a show entitled, “You Are There!” The idea of the show was to take you back and allow ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 139:1-24
We can be hearers of the Word and deceive ourselves, or we can be doers of the Word and be blessed. James calls each Christian to be a doer of the Word, receiving the blessing of doing what God commands.
JAMES 1:22-25 MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL… “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what ...read more

One of the hardest things about looking forward to Christmas morning is the anticipation. Especially for kids, it seems to take forever. You often get the reasonable question of “how many more sleeps until Christmas morning? Now for many of us it makes a big difference what family you visit on ...read more
