    A small church far away from Hurricane Katrina damage - what do we need to hear? It seems that Jesus would tell us to repent.

    Luke 13:1-5 - A Little Less Conversation, a Little More Action Some of this sermon may sound familiar to you, and there’s good reason for it. Much of what I’m about to say, I preached after September 11, 2001. I felt it was time to dust it off and say it again. A pastor friend of mine, Denn ...read more

    Christianity: The Thinking Man's Faith

    We are not commanded to blindly believe what the Scriptures teach. Rather "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord". Paul "reasoned" with Felix. Christianity IS the thinking man’s faith!

    CHRISTIANITY: THE THINKING MAN’S FAITH “And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, "Go ...read more

    The dangerous implications of taking “To thine own self be true” literally.

    Bowing To The Great Idol Of Self

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Jan 13, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,595 views

    The OT has a lot of interesting stories about idolatry, but is that really just a problem of the past? This sermon addresses the very real problem that our culture has in worshiping our own desires above all else.

    To the reader: What inspired this sermon was a quote I read in R.C. Ortlund’s book, When God Comes To Church, p. 194. "Self is the great idol standing at the center of our conceptual world, to which all bow low. We even have a duty-to-self ethic, as if self-denial were harmful, immoral, and ...read more

    One of the first stories we learn as children is the story of Jonah and the Big Fish. But the story about Jonah that we remember is seldom the whole story.

    JONAH’S NIGHT OF SELF-IMPOSED MISERY But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty ...read more
