This month we are considering the Christmas story as told by the authors of the four Gospels. We have looked at Matthew’s and Mark’s account; today we consider Luke’s account. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all give us a little bit different version...

This morning, we begin thinking in earnest about Christmas. To complete our year-long emphasis on the word “Story” I am prepared to preach The Story of Christmas as given in each of the four Gospels over the next four Sundays. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and...

Philippians is a book of joy. The key verse of the book is Philippians 4:4. In addition, throughout the book, joy is the theme. The Greek word for joy is used 9 times and various related words (with prefixes, etc.) are used approximately another 7...

In Luke 15, we find one of the most well-known stories of the Bible. We usually call this story the Parable of the Prodigal Son. I have preferred over the years to refer to the story as “The Parable of the Lost Boy” because it comes in a sequence of...

My introduction to the Lord’s prayer was, perhaps like most of you, as a child. We memorized it and got a pencil or something for our memory work. In our Baptist tradition, we have not recited this prayer as often as other Christian traditions. My...

In January, I announced to you that I wanted to focus this year on the theme of story—God’s story with us. We spent the first months of the year tracing the story of God’s redemptive plan for his most special creation—humanity. We called that journey...

We have been in a series of messages on the Power of Story—not just any story, but the story of God’s activity in our lives. We are beginning to wind down. We will conclude next Sunday with a final message for this series. Our purpose has been to...

Sometimes, we must preach Christ to the masses. That is certainly communicated in the beginning of chapter 8. The opening verses of this text tell us that the first Church was experiencing persecution. As a result of this persecution, the believers...

We are in a series of messages on the Power of Story—not just any story, but the story of God’s activity in our lives. We are examining New Testament stories of individuals sharing their story. We want to specifically see what God would teach us...

The purpose of the Gospel of John is to point people to Jesus. The testimony of John the Baptist fits well into this overall purpose of the Gospel. John the Baptist’s testimony shows what it means to “meet, know, and follow Jesus.” (NIV...

Several years ago I asked you to adopt with me several guiding principles for our work. Because people are constantly being added to our church, I think it is important to find strategic opportunities to talk about these principles for purposes of...

David’s sin with Bathsheba is hard to understand. How could this man who sought God so often fall to sin under these circumstances? Well, that story is played out over and over again in people’s lives today. You see, perhaps the biggest giant of...

I want to talk to you this morning about facing our giants—about being ready for what might happen today.

For the last three weeks as the world’s attention has focused on London and the Olympic Games, we have used these weeks to focus on “Going for the Gold Spiritually.” We have discovered the urgency and necessity of becoming spiritual champions. We...

The Olympic Games are crowning athletic champions, but God has called us to be spiritual champions. So far, we have considered the seriousness of our calling as Christians. We have also considered our opponent, the devil, that He is real, he seeks to...
