    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jun 28, 2004
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,435 views

    The preeminence of Christ should not only be our dogma, but it should also be our practice. If we truly practice the preemeninence of Christ, it will affect every area of our life.

    PRACTICING CHRIST’S PREEMINENCE Text: Col.1: 18; Col.3: 17 Intro: Paul wrote the letter to the Colossians while a prisoner at Rome.

    As the light shines, the hostile opposition to it, & thus to Jesus the light bearer, grows. It was now dangerous for Jesus to appear at the Feast of Tabernacles. Despite the danger Jesus follows His appointed path but with wisdom.

    JOHN 7: 1-13 [The 5th Discourse] THE COURAGEOUS CHRIST [Leviticus 23: 33ff] John chapter 7 conveys the reactions of the world to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Again and again throughout this Gospel John has emphasized the difficulty and ...read more

    Hope is Jesus Christ.

    Text: “And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you” (Psalm 39:7). What does the word “hope” means to us? When we hope for something, we are looking forward to something.

    What kind of fire is Jesus talking about? Is this the fire of judgment? The fire of hell? The fire of destruction? I don't believe so. This is the fire of purification, the fire of truth, the fire that burns away what is false so that what is true can shine forth.

    OPENING Good morning, church family. I want to begin today with a story that might help us understand something profound about the nature of Christ's ministry. Last summer, I had the opportunity to speak with a forest ranger in Colorado. As we drove through a section of the national forest, I ...read more

     | 3,274 views

    God describes sin with words like disobedience, lawlessness, iniquity, wickedness, trespass, transgression, and rebellion. The truth about sin is not only repulsive, but it is also personal. Sin is not other people’s problem. It is ours.
