Hope does not exist in a vacuum. It is not rootless optimism, unfounded yearning, or ungrounded wishing. Authentic hope comes from God. It is based on His nature and promises. Amos chapter 9 gives us a basis of lasting hope. As you scan the chapter, you may think I am referring to the last five verses…

Like every generation of believers before us, we may be tempted at times to see the rampant evil in our world and wonder if God is ever going to close the chapter on this time and if the Day of the Lord will ever come. The early church sometimes wondered, too. In the second letter of Peter, he encourages…

A changing missionary team From Barnabas, Paul and John Mark the team is changing now. Tonight we see new members. We are looking at what we can know about one of our new members.

1 John 2:15-17 1jn2 15-17 “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing…

I’m Certain, He’s Alive! Today we finish our series in the Gospel of Mark and begin a new series entitled “I’m Sure!” which looks at the components of a Biblical Worldview. In Mark 15 covered the crucifixion of Jesus and His death. Today we celebrate His resurrection. A resurrection that I am certain…

Three reasons the LORD’s Judgment is certain I. Judgment is certain because the LORD is against the wickedness of sin. Lets begin by looking again at the sin of Nineveh (1,4) 1 Woe to the bloody city, all full of lies and plunder— no end to the prey! 4 And all for the countless whorings of the prostitute,…

Maturing as a Christian involves life change. As we grow, there are certain things we are to put away. A mature Christian should stay away from certain behaviors. Listen as Pastor Leger unpacks these behaviors in our text today.

Today's sermon is about how certain the Gospel of Jesus Christ is. (Pardon the last few minutes - wireless mic connection issue. See below for manuscript if needed!)

Karen and I had a residence director in college named Phil. Phil is one of those people that is so comfortable being himself that it’s off-putting for a young man very full of himself but totally insecure. Phil never argued with anyone. If he knew the truth, he was at peace whether or not you accepted…

This morning I am going to plagiarize and entire sermon! This morning I am going to preach someone else’s sermon entirely. And I guess if you are going to plagiarize a sermon you might as well steal a really good one right? So this morning I am going to preach to you a sermon from the Apostle Peter.…

The exercise of Christian liberty must never be done at the expense of others. We must consider how our actions impact those in the body of Christ. We must also consider the unintended consequences of certain freedoms.

There are certain things in our lives we simply need to let go of in order to grow in our walk with Christ. These things do not have any place in our life as a Christian. We need to get rid of them and don't let them back in.

We may believe certain things about the Bible, but do we believe God can make them a reality in our own lives?

Did you know that God really loves moms and kids? He does! He loves them so much that He set certain rules and regulations to care for them and to remind them of His love for them that is ultimately demonstrated through Jesus Christ. Let’s find out more as we look at this chapter in the Book of Leviticus.

The love of God is beyond our understanding. He loves the lost and even sent His Son Jesus to provide salvation for all who believe. But God hates certain things. He hates things that bring His children pain. We consider three of them in today's message.

Many passages point us to the importance of the heart. Solomon does the same in this passage. The heart is a major battlefield in salvation and Christian living. Certainly, the first truth the Christian needs to understand is their need for the Gospel. But after the Gospel, this passage becomes another major truth we need to live for Christ. May we in the New Year consider and guard our hearts.

Jude 3–4 (ESV) — 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation,…

When I moved to Japan, I needed an "Alien Registration Certificate" to show, ironically, that I belonged there. I certainly felt like an alien, but the real shock came when I came home to Australia and felt just as alien there! So often we feel alienated and alone, but for those who give their lives to Christ, there will always be a home: the church. Listen to Malcolm explore Ephesians 2:11-22 to find out how the church transforms humanity, and offers our only hope for peace and unity.

Review This morning we saw from Scripture that the Christian truly has hope through Jesus Christ. We learned that we can equip ourselves with the helmet of salvation by remembering all that we find hope in. We saw that because of our salvation, we can look back in God’s Word and we can claim the promises…
