Life’s InstructionsMatthew 5:38-41Intro. One winter day not so long ago a man went shopping at the local neighborhood mall. When he returned to his car he noticed a rather foul odor coming from under the hood and so he checked the engine. In the compartment he discovered a dead cat rather mutilated from being caught in the fan belt. The poor cat had sought shelter from the snow and cold and didn’t realize the dangers of resting on the engine block. Mr. Jones was lucky though, on …..

John 3:16-For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.It doesn’t say, “For God liked the world!”It doesn’t say, “For God found the world attractive!”It doesn’t say, “For the world loved God so much He gave His only begotten son!”He loves the world not because we first loved Him, or not because we are kind and sweet, and treat Him good …..

Proverbs 15:8- “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.”In his book Invitation to a Journey, Robert Mulholland writes, “Prayer is the act by which the people of God become incorporated into the presence and action of God in the world. Prayer becomes a sacrificial offering of ourselves to God, to become agents of God’s presence and action in the daily events and situations of our lives. How different thi …..

The Best Plan to Save ManRomans 10:13 - 21 Intro: During this election year we have heard and will hear a lot of flowery words on how this person or that person has come up with an amazing plan to save our economy, to secure our borders, to fix our healthcare system, to reduce poverty and unemployment, to improve our education and so on.

The Accessible SaviorRomans 10:1-13 Intro: Perhaps you’ve heard of the game, 4 truths and a lie. It is often used as a mixer for people to get to know each other better. You write down 5 things about yourself, and they are all true but one. The other person tries to guess which one is not true.-Well, Paul was confronting some of the lies that were hindering so many of his fellow Jews from being saved, or made right before God. There were many truths that they embraced from God&#8 …..

The Ultimate Conspiracy

faith — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:02:51 +0000

The Ultimate Conspiracy I have heard quite a few conspiracy theories since I became a Christian in 1975. It seems like every year there are new and wilder theories as well as supposedly absolute proof that the old ones are true and we best beware. What they all miss is the ultimate conspiracy because all the things the theorists see are just smokescreens to cover up the BIG ONE! 2 Thess 2:1-121 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gath …..

Loving the Right ThingsI Cor. 13:1-13Introduction:There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless …..

ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED?

faith — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:02:05 +0000

ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED?Proponents of “Once Saved Always Saved” teach that once a person has been converted, “all the sins he may commit from idolatry to murder will not make his soul in any more danger" (theologian Sam Morris), even if he never repents those sins! They say that when the rapture occurs, Christians will be raptured straight from acts of adultery into heaven! I can’t think of a more scandalous and damaging doctrine. Why?I. MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS …..

The Story - 29May 8, 2011Holy . . . ?For Easter I wrote 2 sermons, but only gave one, yet, today’s message was much more difficult to write. This was the longest chapter in The Story, but basically what I’m going to talk about occurs in the first few pages of the chapter. When I go over this section from the middle of Acts, I’m struck over and over and over again by what’s happening.When I read Paul’s letters, I marvel at what he’s doing and how …..
