"Following Christ-The Embodiment of Truth"
March 15, 2020 00:00 - 22.8 MBFor the next several weeks, I would like to lead us to think carefully about what it means to follow Christ in a world which does not. Even a casual observation of our modern culture would lead one to conclude that the world in which we live is becoming increasingly more chaotic, confused, dangerous, and deceptive.
The Radical Nature of the New Birth
February 23, 2020 00:00 - 22.6 MBToday we give consideration to the radical nature of the new birth. It is comprehensive. It's a complete over haul.

"Fed Up or Filled Up"
July 28, 2019 00:00 - 26.1 MB“Be Imitators of God” is the heading for Ephesians 5 in my Bible. The first verse carries that title: “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” What an assignment-to imitate God! Not only difficult, but impossible in our own efforts. In verses 15-21, Paul gives us the answer to how this can be accomplished in the life of a believer.
"A Lift that Lasts"
June 09, 2019 00:00 - 27 MBThe Lord makes it clear that His purpose and design for our lives as His followers is to make a difference!

In their encounter, we find some basic principles that will help each of us to be ready when God gives us the opportunity to help someone along our way. Employing these principles will help u...

January 27, 2019 00:00 - 22.3 MBPermit me to ask you a disturbing question: Do your sins ever cause you to question your salvation? This text in Galatians is quite helpful and instructive to us as followers of Christ. It speaks to each of us and the war being waged within us.
“The Race of Your Life”

“The Goal of Every Pastor”
December 16, 2018 00:00 - 25.5 MBBy definition, a goal is “an end that one strives to attain” (Webster’s New World Dictionary). Most people have goals.

Being “sorry” for the way we are living is always the beginning of refreshing, of revival in our life. One day, we will all stand before the Lord to answ...
“What Every Sin Deserves”
November 04, 2018 00:00 - 23.8 MBSadly, there is no shortage of people attempting to earn favor with God by being good, keeping the law, “not sinning,” not cursing the waitress at the restaurant, so to speak. What does Paul have to say about such efforts? The answer is found in today’s sermon text.
