    Jesus temptation in the wildness.

    The Temptation of Jesus When we look at the temptation of Jesus we sometimes say some very silly things. It is like we are so uncomfortable with the fact that Jesus resisted sin that we have to reason away His humanity to explain how He did it. Certainly if Jesus really was fully human He ...read more

    There are two sides to sin and evil. On the one side we can be very bad and break all the rules, on the other side we can be very good and keep all the rules. Both are trusting in ourselves and not God (thoughts from The Reason for God by Timothy Keller).

    (Ideas for this sermon come from the book: The Reason for God, Belief in an Age of Skepticism, by Timothy Keller) Introduction This week- complete- 2nd part of a two week series. Last week we looked at The Problem of Sin, this week we are going to look at The Problem of ...read more

    Paul warns the Corinthians of the dangers of exposing themselves to temptations by drawing their attention to the lessons from the past, highlighting the failures of their forefathers.

    This message examines Paul's warning against being judgmental.

    Has any of you ever been guilty of one of the most deadly sins? The sin I am talking about is the one Jesus attacked more often and directly than any other sin. Still clueless? This sin is the most widely justified and practiced sin in the world. I would even venture to say that this is the sin ...read more

    The second of six sermons addressing sexual sin. This message focuses on pornography.

    A. If you have your Bible, please turn to Jeremiah 2. For several weeks now, I’ve had this very strong sense that there are a number of things about which God wants to speak to us from this book. 1. It really is an amazing book. Now while there isn’t really any chronological or thematic order to ...read more

    Because Jesus continues to forgive us we will be victorious in our ongoing battle against the sin that lives within each one of us.

    Perhaps it’s not so difficult to consider that God is willing to forgive us the first time we sin. Especially if we learn from those mistakes and vow never to commit that same sin again. But what about after we have repented, after we have promised never to repeat that disgrace (that kind of lie, ...read more

    What is true love? How do you know if you have found it? In this message, we're going to explore Scripture to find the answers we need to know the love we have is the love meant for us.

    There’s a lot of so-called love in our world today that is not really love but is instead based on selfishness and even lust. Many couples marry to satisfy their own selfish needs, realizing later that it doesn’t work. There IS such a thing as true love, which is a selfless love. This is the ...read more

    Even though God is omnipotent, God allows Himself to be hurt. In this sermon, Jeremiah speaks of the irony of substituting the inadequate for the Omnipotent.

    Sometimes, even when a pastor is as true to God’s Word as possible and has preached a number of sermons to the text that have elucidated the Truth, God’s Holy Spirit comes back to that same pastor and causes something new to be eliminated, something passed over in previous readings and study. ...read more

    Am I A Whitewashed Christian?

     | 1,418 views

    A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, directions, guidance, and characteristics that Christ gave to us. Secondly, what is whitewashed? It is the concealment or covering of flaws, failures, blemishes, or unpleasant facts.

    This is the story of two men who prayed. Undoubtedly many have read or at least heard of this story. So why did I title this sermon "Am I a Whitewashed Christian? Well first, let me ask this, what is a Christian? A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, ...read more
