Ephesians 5:19 As human beings, we have been created in the image and likeness of God, which means that God made us to reflect his greatness and goodness through our attitudes, words, and behavior. One special way that we do this is through the ability God has given us to be creative and communicate…

Introduction This message is serving as an introduction / overview of the series “Jesus in the Tabernacle” Today we’re going to examine a topic that is an amazing bridge to both the Old & New Testaments and as well as our understanding.

On Wednesday, my children received a book of riddles as a gift and have been asking us all riddles nearly non stop since then. The have been some good ones, some classic ones, some interesting ones, and all are fun ones. One of my favorites is the classic misdirection riddle. As I was going to St. Ives,…

The beauty of the Gospel is seen in the gracious gift of Holy Spirit to convict and comfort.

1 Tim 2:8-14 No Girls Allowed! I’d like to answer the simple question, “What can women do in a worship service?” On one hand, this question sounds awkward or unusual because God created men and women as co-equal persons. Both genders equally express God’s image and both share equally important roles…

4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”? 6 And again, when he brings the firstborn…

Introduction: We continue our journey through the book of Hebrews We have worked our way to the central part of the book We began with an introduction and a stage setting for the book Jesus is Superior Last week, the author took a side step and gave a warning before he continues on into the primary point…

Prayer Introduction & Summary We spent our time together last week establishing that the Holy Spirit is a person. He’s not it or a what; he’s not an essence, a power, or a mystical force; he’s a person – the third person of the Trinity. Today it seems that there’s an erroneous belief that the Spirit’s…

Context: Paul and Barnabas have set out on their missionary journey. After making a few stops they arrive at Antioch of Pisidia. This is a different Antioch from the Antioch which was the early Christian church hub for international missions. This was a small town known on the Anthius River founded by…

Study Two If God is the source of salvation, then it is safe to say that Salvation is accomplished when God chooses to accomplish it. That is the doctrine of election or what the Bible means when it refers to God’s people as His elect. D. L. Moody was known to say, “The elect are the whosoever wills,…

In need of a king. In today’s sermon I intend to pick up where I left off last week in terms of establishing the background of the book of Judges. Last week I preached less of a sermon and gave more of a historical lecture on the history of the Israelite people as they were called out by God in Abraham,…

The King Priest This morning we are wrapping up our Advent in the Psalms sermon series. I love preaching and teaching through the OT. I love looking through the history that God has given us in the bible and seeing how his plan takes shape and plays out. B/c it is absolutely astounding and mind blowing…

1 Timothy 5:19–22 (ESV): 19 Do not admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 20 As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. 21 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge…

Advent is about waiting. This is a reminder I know but it is an important one. Waiting puts us in the “Biblical” story alongside many others. Exodus 23:20 (NIV) “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Isaiah 40:3 (NIV) A voice…

Once again, I would like to use Ephesians 2:18-22 as our Scripture text this morning. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation…

God’s Law - God’s Council I’ll admit, it’s a little hard to get excited about the Law of God. How many of us would echo Paul’s sentiment, that he delighted in the Law of God in his heard? Or how many of us think of the law the way David did? The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony…

Many are familiar with a series of sci-fi movies called the Matrix, in which artificial intelligence machines covertly tap human energy in order to sustain their own existence, while at the same time connecting the humans’ consciousness to a artificial matrix, a virtual world, in order to keep their…

Introduction Thus far in this series, I’d preached in introductory message. In that message I attempted to show that: Not only were the OT & NT connected, but that the OT was the foundation of the NT. They are not contradictory, but complementary That Salvation has always been by faith - it was never…

Intro: There is a foundational truth in many sports. You have to often go backward to move the ball forwards. In soccer, you will often see a team reverse field, which means the ball is played back from the midfield to the defense to even the goalie, only to have the goalie send the ball up the opposite…

Introduction Tonight we continue our exploration into the book of Colossians, and in doing so, will finish out the first chapter of this epistle to the church at Colosse.

4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father…

Isaiah 9:6 Political leaders always disappoint. Here’s the thing about political leaders. They always disappoint us and they never accomplish everything they promised to do. Some accomplish more good than others, some last longer than others, and some behave more wisely than others. Yet, in the end,…
