    This sermon explores a bible passage from Lukes Gospel and shows that people everywhere are looking for a light to follow. It challenges the audience on their Christian stand on various issues and gives the reassurance that God’s love and blessing falls on each true believer.

    The nonverbal communication that we are Christians comes in the form of service that we do for others.

    The Church is described as the Body of Christ to stress the connections that we all have to one another, as well as our response to the direction of the head, Jesus Christ.

    For the next several weeks I’m going to be preaching a series of messages called “A God’s Eye View of the Church.” In these sermons we’re going to be taking an up close and personal look at what God wants the church to be, and hopefully an honest appraisal of who we really are. Now I want to be ...read more

    The body of Christ (his physical body, the bread, and the church) are most useful when broken, for God’s plans to save the world. Bulletin notes attached.

    John 1:14; 1 Corinthians 12:27; Luke 22:19 – The Body of Christ Have you ever broken anything? A dish, a plate?

    Text: Ephesians 4:1-6 In the Messianic Psalm 22 we read of the description of Christ on the cross feeling all his bones out of joint. Could this be a picture of the church today? We are one body and we should speak and act toward one another in love reg

    INTRODUCTION: "White Line Syndrome" is a phenomenon I first encountered when playing basketball in a kid’s league years ago. How it works is, late in the game our coach would call a time-out, and instruct us in what we were to do once play resumed. I remember how clear his instructions sounded in ...read more

    Jesus claimed that the bread of Life is his body, and that his body is true food and his blood true drink. We look at three objections to this teaching.

    The Bible speaks of the church as the Body of Christ for a reason, but most believers fail to celebrate their unique place in the body.

    The ancient Romans had an aphorism that went “Mens sana in corpore sanos.” It means, “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” The ancients were quite correct that the two go together. The mind directs the body. It may do it on a subconscious or even unconscious level, but without signals from the brain, ...read more
