Rounding the Bend

God continues to encourage the Hebrew Christians, and us by extension, to stay true to the course of following God. We've been warned about Drifting from the Word, Doubting the Word, and now Becoming Dull to the Word. In the course of the instruction we have been encouraged to leave the elementary teachings and those teachings were listed. We look at all that in this sermon and how our lives should look when we stay true to God's word.

Slope No. 2

We often hear about a "slippery slope" in politics or culture. The meaning is that one misstep leads to another as we decline down a slippery slope if error. This week we continue our study in the Book of Hebrews. In Hebrews 3:12-4:13 we see the Jewish Christians warned about letting their hearts be hardened as their ancestors were in the Wilderness. A hardening of the heart comes from doubting God's word. Listen as we talk about how Satan uses doubt to tempt us away from God. Additionally, we will examine several forms of doubt.

The Slow Drift

Few of us make a single decision to walk away from our relationship with God. Usually it occurs from a series of small steps away, a drift from the word, if you will. In this sermon we gain three reasons from Hebrews chapter 2 for staying steadfast in Jesus Christ.

Greater Than Angels

This sermon begins a series on the book of Hebrews. In the book of Hebrews we are taught that Jesus is superior to everyone and everything. He is superior to angels, He is the superior priest, and he is superior to creation.

Introducing Jesus

Based on John 1:1-13 we have this message reminding us of Jesus place in creation and His coming to earth.

The Disciple’s Prayer

What most of us know as The Lord's Prayer or the "Our Father" might be more correctly called "The Disciple's Prayer." We call it The Lord's Prayer because our Lord prayed it but He was teaching His disciples how to pray, thus it was to be the disciple's prayer. Regardless the prayer has given and still gives millions comfort to pray. There is great wisdom and instruction in this short prayer. Listen as we unpack this set of scripture found in Matthew chapter 6.

Great Challenges Are Great Opportunities for God

When God gives us a task to do to further His kingdom on earth, it is easy for us to get overwhelmed. God gives God-sized challenges. But God does not expect us to accomplish His challenge within our own strength, wealth, or knowledge. He expects us to put our faith in Him and let Him work through us in through the infilling presence of the Holy Spirit. In 2 Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat found himself in an impossible situation. Like the good, godly, king he was, he led his people to fast and pray. Listen to today's sermon to learn God's response and how the situation was resolved.

Jesus Got It All Wrong

Jesus tells us everything wrong! Things like turn the other cheek, love your enemies, and bless them that curse you. Everyone knows that the verse that says, "Do Unto Other As You Would Have Them Do Unto You" should be "Do Unto Others Before They Can Do Unto You!" What was Jesus thinking? Watch today's sermon as we sort out this mess! Luke 6:27-36

Spirit-Filled Manifestation

When we serve God using our motivational spiritual gift through our Holy Spirit given ministry, God brings a manifestation that glorifies Him and points to His existence and power. In this message we learn why we should pursue our spiritual gift and then the correct flow of the three categories of gifts. Today's scripture passage is II Corinthians 12:7-11

Spirit-Filled Ministry 3rd message in the series Developing a Spirit-Filled Life

Just as God through the Holy Spirit gives us a gift that motivates us in a specific way, so too He gives us a place of ministry through which to use our gift. Listen in today as we look at Ephesians 4:11-13 and 1 Corinthians 12:28 to discover what those ten ministries are.
