    Modern-Day Legalism (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Sep 23, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,274 views

    Legalism is potentially such a damaging, deceitful, and depressing way to view the Christian life.

    INTRO: I’ve tried to be very clear and practical at each point in this topic about what legalism is, what it does, and what it looks like. We spent the last message covering the statements a legalist might say, the specifics of legalism as far as the actual fundamental definitions of this way of ...read more

    The Interrogation Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020
     | 4,526 views

    As Paul continues to defend doctrine, he asks the Galatians 6 rapid-fire questions in 5 verses.

    INTRO: These next two chapters are going to be a little complicated. The 60 verses that make up Galatians 3 and 4 are said to be some of the strongest writing that Paul ever penned. His opponents, the Judaizers, were using every possible means to enslave the believers in Galatia, and Paul was not ...read more

    The Illustration Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020
     | 3,615 views

    As an example of salvation by faith and not works, Paul uses the Jews own patriarch Abraham against them!

    INTRO: Let’s review...we have been talking about works versus faith. At the crux of the debate going on in the lives of the Galatian believers was the question of salvation through works or through faith in Christ alone. How are we truly justified? Justification is the gracious act of God by ...read more

    The Importance Of Faith Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,018 views

    Paul anticipates the Judaizers next objection since they were huge fans of the law of Moses. In general, they recognized the importance of the Abrahamic covenant, but they gave priority to the Mosaic covenant. This led them to emphasize law over faith.

    INTRO: We have seen the interrogation of faith and the illustration of faith and today we’ll see the importance of faith. Next week is the identity of faith. What Paul has been hammering home in Galatians is that we are saved by faith and not by works. This is the distinguishing hallmark of ...read more

    The Identity Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020
     | 4,584 views

    There is an identity crisis in our country. I believe that our racial problems are a result of an unbiblical view of our identity. This passage has long been used to rebuke a racist and bigoted view of the gospel.

    INTRO: Galatians 3 has been a history lesson through the Old Testament. One of the more complicated chapters of Paul’s writings, it’s been a difficult hike, but like many hard journeys, there is a rewarding view at the end. We have climbed the mountain peaks of Abraham and Moses and have seen ...read more

    Slaves To Sons Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 26, 2020
     | 5,494 views

    To be a slave your entire life is devastating and discouraging. To be under the guidance of a schoolmaster is frustrating and limiting. But to be a son or daughter, to have a Heavenly Father, that’s a relationship you can enjoy for eternity.

    INTRO: I want to start the message with an excerpt of an email I received a few weeks ago where someone shared a brief glimpse of their spiritual maturation in regard to the topics we’ve been centered on for the last couple months. I enjoyed it very much then, and believe it could serve as a great ...read more

    Ministry In Daily Life

    Contributed by Carla Powell on Feb 2, 2002
    based on 71 ratings
     | 8,303 views

    Sermon describes how we minister in our daily life, relating our ministry to our work using Jesus’ images of being salt, being the light of the world, and putting our lamp on a lampstand for all to see.

    Matthew 5:13-20 - Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany [On this day, worshippers were asked to wear their work uniform or bring a symbol of their work so that we will be reminded of the connection between our faith and our work. I refer to it in my sermon several times.] Grace be to ...read more

    How The Grinch Couldn't Steal Christmas

    Contributed by Carla Powell on Jan 2, 2002
    based on 135 ratings
     | 10,196 views

    No Grinch can take away the true meaning of Christmas, because Jesus was born for us! (uses refernces from Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas).

    Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas has always been a favorite of mine, but this year, it has also made quite a box office splash. In this annual Christmas story, the old Grinch who lives on a mountain has been annoyed by the merriment of the Who-ville townspeople at Christmas. According to ...read more

    Seek Ye First At Thanksgiving

    Contributed by Carla Powell on Jan 2, 2002
    based on 173 ratings
     | 11,992 views

    Where do your priorities lie? Originally written as a Thanksgiving sermon, most of this sermon would be appropriate to challenge people to examine their priorities (e.g. beginning of the year, Lent, etc).

    <P>Thanksgiving Eve Service - November 22, 2000 A Money magazine article several years ago told of the life of a woman who saved 80% of everything she earned, investing it all in the stock market and turned it into a $22 million fortune within 50 years. It sounds like an incredible success story, ...read more

    Practicing Your Piety In Secret

    Contributed by Carla Powell on Jan 2, 2002
    based on 91 ratings
     | 6,333 views

    The life of faith is low-profile. We minimize ourselves so that God can be magnified and glorified. Contrasts showy piety and quiet faith actions.

    Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day in Lent, the season of the church year during which we focus our attention on our devotion to God before Easter. Ash Wednesday gives us an unusual opportunity to focus on our mortality and our sin. These are not popular topics, nor issues that we like to ...read more

    based on 128 ratings
     | 12,542 views

    Resurrection isn’t just about life after death; it is also about the promise of abundant life-now!

    [I have a tradition when preaching on Easter Sunday to insert "Christ Is Risen" as often as possible, to which the congregation respond, "Christ is risen indeed. Hallelujah!"] Christ is risen! (He is risen indeed!) Shouts of alleluia ring out; flowers adorn our sanctuary; people are dressed in ...read more

    What Can We Learn From Mary Magdalene?

    Contributed by Carla Powell on Jan 2, 2002
    based on 299 ratings
     | 71,120 views

    Investigates some common misconceptions about Mary Magdalene. We can learn how to love Jesus from Mary’s persistence, sincerity, and enthusiasm.

    Today is the day when we honor Mary Magdalene, dedicated follower of Jesus. Legends about Mary Magdalene abound. In fact, Mary Magdalene is probably most well-known for false details and unproven facts in her life. Often she is identified as a former prostitute, but there is nothing in the Bible ...read more

    based on 108 ratings
     | 8,398 views

    Urges the couple to seek faithfulness and communication in their marriage. Appropriate for an Interfaith wedding.

    You all know the story about fairytale marriages. A beautiful princess goes into a forest and sees a frog. She kisses the frog. He turns into a prince. They get married, and live happily ever after. Or maybe you remember the prince who searches through every house in town and won’t give up until he ...read more

    Love Your Enemies?

    Contributed by Carla Powell on Jan 2, 2002
    based on 45 ratings
     | 5,992 views

    Responding to Sept 11th and a (minor) break-in to our church building, this sermon focuses on how live Jesus’ call to do unto others as we would have them do to us.

    Today we celebrate All Saints Day, when we honor those well-known saints of the church. And All Saints Day also helps us to recall those faithful departed who have gone before, people who have died in the faith from this congregation and in our lives. But All Saints Day also serves as a reminder ...read more

    What's Love Got To Do With It?

    Contributed by Carla Powell on Jan 2, 2002
    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,638 views

    Discusses Paul’s use of love as the yardstick for Christian living, then turns to several congregational issues to ask what the loving response would be.

    Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany (Year C) 1 Corinthians 13, is a popular passage to use for wedding sermons, because of course the topic is love. Brides and grooms have often chosen this lesson because of the beautiful, poetic prose it contains. But Paul did not write this to the Corinthians so ...read more
