The man of God, Moses, has led a host of Israelites to the foot of Mount Sinai. Jehovah, the God that rescued them from bondage in Egypt called Moses up onto the mountain to receive His Law for His people. We speak of awesome things - nothing was more awesome than the sight of a mountain, terri...

GREATER THAN (A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS) WEEK 02 - OH WHAT A SAVIOR

Powell Butte Christian Church - October 01, 2023 19:00 - 25 minutes
What have the Romans ever given us? What have they ever done for us? When I read the first three verses of Hebrews 1, this is what I think of. We live in a post-christian world. No longer do people recognize one absolute truth. Here’s the danger for believers today — unless we fully understand...

KOINONIA: WHY LIFEGROUPS, WEEK 2

Powell Butte Christian Church - September 17, 2023 19:00 - 28 minutes
I don’t know about you but there are some things I’d LIKE to change. There are sins, habits, hang-ups that exist that keep me from walking closer to Jesus. I KNOW I’m supposed to deal with these things - but I’ve tried…and I’ve failed…and sometimes I don’t WANT to change - though I know I’m supp...

DEVOTION NOT DIVISION: WHY LIFEGROUPS, WEEK 1

Powell Butte Christian Church - September 10, 2023 19:00 - 31 minutes
The Music Man… a con artist selling a boys band in River City, IA. Problem - he didn’t know music at all. Used a con called “the THINK system.” There was no practice; he just told the boys to THINK the Minuet in G (la de da de da de da de da…). And when they all came together, it was obvious th...

Powell Butte Christian Church - July 23, 2023 19:00 - 40 minutes
Mark 9 captures a story of a man who had a son possessed by a demon.. When the boy was brought to Jesus the spirit threw him to the ground and he began foaming at the mouth.

PSALMS SERIES: WEEK 10 - PSALM 84 - THE VALLEY OF BACA

Powell Butte Christian Church - July 02, 2023 19:00 - 28 minutes
Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we don’t want to be in - situations we would never CHOOSE to be in. I remember in my 20’s, after a lifetime (albeit a SHORT lifetime) of wanting desperately to find someone to love and to be married to, I remember being hopelessly single. I’ve known...

PSALMS SERIES: WEEK 09 - PSALM 95 - WHOLE-HEARTED OR HARD-HEARTED?

Powell Butte Christian Church - June 25, 2023 19:00 - 31 minutes
This morning will be different from other Sundays - and that’s okay. It’s good to be jarred from the routine from time to time in order to catch something that you might have become numb to. And it’s good that we are messing with the order of WORSHIP - because really what I believe would be goo...

PSALMS SERIES: WEEK 08 - PSALM 51 - THE SINNER’S GUIDE TO REPENTANCE

Powell Butte Christian Church - June 18, 2023 19:00 - 32 minutes
Let me ask a philosophical question: is perfection the main thing God wants of His people? It’s an interesting question, if you think about it. God gave His people the law - so it would seem obvious that God wanted them to be obedient to the law, thereby desire perfection of His people, right? ...

PSALMS SERIES: WEEK 07 - PSALM 62 - WAITING IN SILENCE

Powell Butte Christian Church - June 11, 2023 19:00 - 30 minutes
This morning, I'm going to talk to you about the theme of silence. What is the place that silence has in our lives and in a special way in our praying to God? Eugene Peterson once wrote that: “Language consists in equal parts of speaking and silence.” Equal parts…that’s significant. What does ...

Powell Butte Christian Church - June 04, 2023 19:00 - 32 minutes
Have you ever seen the verse from Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans that I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future.”?  You can’t miss it, since we put it on posters and coffee mugs and t-shirts! It’s one of the Christian’s favorite Bib...

PSALMS SERIES: WEEK 05 - PSALM 61 - HIGHER THAN I

Powell Butte Christian Church - May 28, 2023 14:00 - 31 minutes
When I was growing up, back in 1978, my family moved to a home in South San Jose. Our family was growing with the impending birth of my little sister, and so we found a larger home that we would stay in until I graduated from college. It was a nice home, good neighborhood, some good friends. Bu...

PSALMS SERIES: WEEK 04 - PSALM 23 - “THE GOOD SHEPHERD”

Powell Butte Christian Church - May 21, 2023 19:00 - 30 minutes
There are some memorable numbers. 1492, December 7, 1941, Y2K, 9-11.  9-11 is a number we won’t soon forget. But so is 23 - as in the 23rd Psalm. Most everyone has heard of Psalm 23. It’s been called the sweetest song ever sung. Abraham Lincoln read it when battling depression, we read it duri...

PSALMS SERIES: WEEK 03 - PSALM 5 - “PERSUASIVE PRAYER”

Powell Butte Christian Church - May 14, 2023 19:00 - 32 minutes
Psalm 5 is an interesting psalm to study. The things of this world that the Psalmist brings up in prayer to God have a tendency to “stink” to many people. Injustice - the bad guys win and it doesn’t seem fair - in fact we even sometimes use the phrase “well, that stinks.” And yet as you proceed...

PSALMS SERIES: WEEK 02 - PSALM 136 - “HESED”

Powell Butte Christian Church - May 07, 2023 19:00 - 31 minutes
I want to talk today about a Hebrew word that adds richness and depth to our faith - and it’s sad that far too many believers have no idea of the word because they don’t read Hebrew. It’s the word “chesed.” This word appears 250 times in the OT. You’d think it's kind of important, right? And wha...

PSALMS SERIES: WEEK 01 - PSALM 100 “HIS LOVE ENDURES”

Powell Butte Christian Church - May 02, 2023 19:00 - 23 minutes
Sometimes I think we come into this place and we leave our stories outside. Sometimes I think we come in here and we try to separate ourselves from the things that have distracted us or overpowered us all week. And yet, that’s not being true to what it means to be fully devoted to following Jesu...

LUKE: YEAR OF OUR LORD (WEEK 51): RESURRECTION PEOPLE

Powell Butte Christian Church - April 23, 2023 19:00 - 33 minutes
My wife, Jenny, has just a few shows that she records and does not miss. One of these is the show “Survivor,”  a “reality” game show in which people are “marooned” on an island where they compete for a million dollars at the end of the season. It’s now in its 44th season. The show uses an elimin...

LUKE: YEAR OF OUR LORD (WEEK 50): MISSION DRIFT: LOSING YOUR FOCUS

Powell Butte Christian Church - April 16, 2023 19:00 - 26 minutes
A book called Mission Drift  explores why organizations such as Harvard University or the YMCA that BEGAN as Christian organizations eventually wind up “drifting” from their original goal and even landing in direct opposition to the mission of Jesus.  The authors believe that, without making in...

LUKE: YEAR OF OUR LORD (WEEK 49): BECAUSE HE LIVES

Powell Butte Christian Church - April 09, 2023 19:00 - 24 minutes
To be honest, as I was trying to put together the message for today, it hit me how mundane, how routine, this story may be to some. For preachers, it’s hard to find a new angle, or an exciting new way to tell the story of the resurrection. I spoke with my dad, who is also preaching an Easter mes...

LUKE: YEAR OF OUR LORD (WEEK 48): GOD’S LOVE LETTER

Powell Butte Christian Church - April 02, 2023 19:00 - 40 minutes
Last week I mentioned the most unfair, illegal trial you could ever imagine. And if you’re like me, when you begin to read what’s happening at this point of the story of Jesus’ life and ministry, you think, “This ain’t fair. This REALLY stinks!" In the movies we are accustomed to the guys in th...

LUKE: YEAR OF OUR LORD (WEEK 47): THE FULL COURT PRESS

Powell Butte Christian Church - March 26, 2023 19:00 - 35 minutes
March Madness. A defensive play in basketball - the Full Court Press. Things get tight, lots of intensity. A good chance of giving up possession and letting the other team score. This morning we will look at a place where you could say that Jesus was facing a full court press. It all happens in ...

LUKE: YEAR OF OUR LORD (WEEK 46): YOUR TABLE IS READY. COME THIS WAY

Powell Butte Christian Church - March 19, 2023 19:00 - 44 minutes
On Thursday of the final week of Jesus’ life, he and His disciples would share a special meal together. This meal was special because it celebrated the Jewish feast known as Passover. It was a very special time for the Jews - a time of remembrance, a time of celebration. It was a meal the disci...

LUKE: YEAR OF OUR LORD (WEEK 45)

Powell Butte Christian Church - March 12, 2023 20:00 - 41 minutes
Today we are going to look at a passage that has been quite possibly misinterpreted for some time. Many who read this passage automatically jump to a preconceived notion of what it means, namely, the end of the world. For the past century and a half, there has been teaching that Luke 21 and the...

LUKE: YEAR OF OUR LORD (WEEK 44) - WHO DIED AND PUT YOU IN CHARGE?

Powell Butte Christian Church - March 05, 2023 20:00 - 33 minutes
 I have become increasingly fascinated by the response to Jesus by the religious leaders of his day. We speak often (and most times disparagingly) of the Pharisees and Sadducees, the Scribes and the Teachers of the law that opposed Jesus at just about every step of His ministry life. And why I’...
