    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.

Maybe you expect a little encouragement from your church; give us some spiritual justification ...read more

    Believers are created to emulate Jesus; we are to be like him in all our ways, that is why we are being called Christians; that is, we are Christ like.

    When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example.
