    Move Forward, Not Back

    This sermon examines what we mean by "Holiness Unto the Lord," and examines why we must seek Christ and His Holiness - we must continually move forward lest we fall back.

    Usually, when I get ready to preach, I go to the Common Revised Lexicon to find a scripture passage. Then I look at what others have had to say about that passage of scripture both online and the good old fashioned way of looking things up in books and commentaries. Sometimes a word in the passage ...read more

    Christians should not take sin lightly, but need to focus on developing their relationship to God instead. Paul offers several arguments to convince us of this. There are other motivations besides merit and fear (Law); Grace motivates us out of love, app

    I used this as a subtle stewardship sermon to get people thinking about how they look at "stuff," what they make as priority in their lives and how their choices affect them, their world and even the church.

    I think there are three things that will determine the way we live and the way that we give: Our perspective – how we not only look at things but how we see them. Our priorities – what we place as of utmost importance in our lives (and, often, in our world). Our personal choices – what we hang to, ...read more

    The church tries all sorts of gimmicks to quell falling numbers, but God simply wants us to get back to the basics... Faith, Hope and Love.

    Faith, hope and love. In AD 50 Corinth was one of the most important cities, commercially of the day, controlling much of the shipping between the East and the West.

    Wise people have a sense of what Jesus wants and have plans to achieve them. Wise people have a sense of their God-given destination and have made plans to arrive there.
