     | 5,008 views

    After John the Baptizer was arrested, Jesus began His ministry. Jesus comes in and calls His disciples to be “fishers of men” against the backdrop of John the Baptizer’s arrest.

    FISHERS OF MEN Text: Matthew 4:12-23 Paul Harvey once said, “We’ve drifted away from being fishers of men to being keepers of the aquarium.” (Roy B. Zuck. ed. The Speaker’s Quote Book . Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1997, p. 134). Is he right? Have we become keepers of ...read more

     | 1,929 views

    Paul deals with many of the same things we have all had to deal with before we became a Christian. Everyone has a past, everyone needs a pardon and everyone is called to proclaim the Gospel.

    Good Friday: All of us have ideas about the person of Christ and His work. Because of their presuppositions, the chief priests and Pharisees were unable to see the "truth" that Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah and Savior.

    I’ve entitled our message this evening, “One Man Shall Die for All.” We call the day that our Lord died on the cross Good Friday, but there was nothing good about it for Jesus. This day is called “good,” because it’s good for us. In a prophecy of the Messiah, in Isaiah 53:4-5, we read, “Surely, ...read more

     | 4,676 views

    The incarnation is a unique touch of God in the world, unparalleled since the creation; all Christians are given a glimpse of this mystery to share.

    Do you remember how exciting Christmas was when you were a child? The lead up into the great feast of the Nativity was almost too much to bear. We sang advent hymns at church; we colored candy canes and cut out snowflakes at school; we decorated the Christmas tree and set up the crèche at home. ...read more

I’ve told this little story before, but I’m going to tell it again because it helps to make a point I want to make ...read more
