    This is the first sermon in a ten-part series on Philippians which introduces the background adn theme of the book and also the style of studying a New Testament letter.

    This is a letter from Paul to the church in Philippi, a Roman city in Greece that Paul visited with Silas on his second missionary journey. This letter was written by Paul when he was in a Roman prison, very likely the last place he would be before his execution for being a Christian. It begins ...read more

  • An Accurate "I" Exam Series

     | 4,435 views

    This is a New Year's sermon when our culture preaches "believe in yourself" and Scripture teaches us what happens when we do. It is a prelude sermon to a covert series on Calvinism.

    It is the first Sunday of the new year. In our culture this is a time of getting psyched up for a new year of doing our best, setting some ambitious goals, trying harder, putting our best foot forward. Maybe you expect a little encouragement from your church; give us some spiritual justification ...read more

  • Diagnosing The Problem Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,973 views

    This is the "Total Depravity" sermon without using the stock theological labels. It is the first sermon in the series and it's covert because too many of our listens will shut down their receptors when they hear the words "Calvinism."

    Last week we listened to a story, a parable, that Jesus told about a Pharisee and a tax collector. Here is what he said: “To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a ...read more

    Second sermon that focuses on God the Father choosing us to be his children. It uses biblical, not theological, language to teach about election.

    This winter I want to dwell on the subject of salvation. Because the more we understand our salvation, the more we understand our identity as Christians, our mission as a church, and the more we appreciate and worship the God of our salvation. I’ve been gone a few weeks, so let me remind you ...read more

  • One Name Series

    Contributed by Rob Jansons on Sep 14, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,176 views

    Third Sermon in the series, often called Limited Atonement by Calvinists. That sounds so wrong-- how can the incredible sacrifice of Jesus be limited in any way? There is nothing limited about Jesus, but there is no other name under heaven by which we are

    This winter we are lingering on the topic of our salvation–learning about it, celebrating it. We began by talking about the human condition of sin–you can’t appreciate the cure until you know the disease. Our disease is sin, and it’s fatal. It has left us for dead. Last week ...read more

  • Simply Irresistible Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,332 views

    Fourth sermon in the series on salvation, examining the "order of salvation" and how God's grace works behind the scenes in our lives during the process.

    We are talking about our salvation. Spending time thinking about how God saves us. In once sense, it doesn’t really matter - we are saved! Thank God. Why analyze it? But on the other hand, it is helpful to our understanding of God and to our Christian life if we spend some time thinking ...read more

  • Embraced Series

    Contributed by Rob Jansons on Sep 14, 2010
     | 4,587 views

    This is the fifth sermon in the series and examines the "Perserverance of the Saints."

    We have been talking about our salvation–trying to better understand the process that transforms our lives. The Bible uses such vivid images: we’ve moved from death to life, darkness to light, being lost to be found, born again. We’ve focused on the fact that God is the author and ...read more

  • Grace: It’s All God Series

    Contributed by Rob Jansons on Sep 14, 2010
     | 4,055 views

    This is the summary sermon where I finally reveal that this series covers the same material that is often called the "5 Points of Calvinism." It emphasizes God's grace and that our faith response is us just showing up and accepting what Jesus has already

    Today is the wrap up sermon of our winter sermon series. Sadly, though, it is still winter. We have been talking about salvation for five weeks. Today I want to review a bit and maybe tie some loose ends together. This concept is really important: that we understand our salvation so that we value ...read more

     | 6,275 views

    How we respond is more important than whether or not God explains himself.

    Scandals of Christmas: Part 1—The Scandal of the Virgin Birth Introduction In some ways it is an interesting time to begin this new series. It was this weekend, one year ago, that news of a potential scandal involving golfer Tiger Woods began playing out in the media. As always seems to be ...read more
