    Friend of Sinners, Pt. 6

    THE CRY OF MY HEART (LUKE 18:1-8) Prayer is a way of life and inseparable from life for most people.

The rest of the movie follows the lives of some who are part of “the resistance” in occupied America territory. It was an ...read more

    An examination of the way that God keeps His promises.

    Your name is important, isn’t it? I know it is, because I have a name, and I know how much it means to me. I also know because about the time I mess up a name or forget a name, I hear about it! Names, especially of people, have always been important to us. A Mr. Simpkin of Phoenix, AZ, gets ...read more

    (have the text read ahead) I have obtained a copy of a recently discovered document from the 1st century.

    Jesus calls Himself the light of the world. And I think we can simply study what effect physical light has on the areas that it touches and gain some spiritual lessons from that.

    If you remember, last Sunday morning I spoke to you about how God described Himself as the I AM and what all that means to us today. It’s good to know that God is, that He does not change, and that He can be everything we need Him to be. Well, tonight I want to begin a series that will span over ...read more

    Why did God choose to let shepherds be the first to hear the news of the Messiah?

    Over the past few weeks we have been taking a new look at some of the figures of the Christmas story. We’ve taken some time to study the stories within the story. We’ve looked at the story of Mary, the teenaged girl that God chose to be the mother of His Son. Last week we discussed the story of ...read more

    In this sermon we see that Abraham was not justified by circumcision or by the law; rather, he was justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

    Scripture Let’s read Romans 4:9-17: 9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was ...read more

    Most of us are probably familiar with the advertising for Motel 6 that ends with the advertising tagline, “We’ll leave the light on for you.” The image that those ads are trying to create is that Motel 6 is a place of hospitality, refreshment and rest for weary travelers.
