    Using several of the other "Narnia" contributors’ information and ideas about C.S. Lewis and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, I shaped this sermon, based on John 1:1-14 and John 3:16

    Trinity Baptist Church, December 18, 2005 What if there were no Christmas? John 1:1-14, John 3:16 When he became a Christian, C.S. Lewis called himself, “perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all of England.“ He had fought hard to hold onto his atheistic worldview. He had ...read more

    Third in a series of three. This message brings the message of CHristmas and Narnia together for a conclusion focusing on Aslan the Roaring Lion.

    ASLAN: TURNING TRAGEDY TO TRUIMPH Eveyone here knows that line from Away in a Manger that says: The cattle are lowing the baby awakes but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

    It’s been said that there are two kinds of people in the world -- those who are millionaires and those who would like to be. And that’s one example of jealousy, but it’s only a piece of it.

    Introduction: Those of you who are Muppet fans will know that one of Kermit the Frog’s most famous lines is, “It’s not easy being green.” But I beg to differ. Shakespeare called jealousy “the green sickness”, and we often speak of people being “green with envy”. And, in that regard, it’s all ...read more

    Sermon 5 in a study in the Sermon on the Mount

    “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” As we come to examine this fourth beatitude I make two fundamental observations.
