How do we give our kids a chance to succeed? Using Moses’ mother, Jochebed (We learn her name in Exodus 6:20). As our example, we learn several key principles in giving our kids the chance to succeed or “God’s Strategy for Reaching the Next Generation.”

There is a part of me that absolutely detests preaching on Satan. I don’t want to give the Devil more of a platform than he deserves. I want to preach on the victory that we have through Jesus Christ. Yet, we must be aware of the strategies of...

When life comes to an end, there is great hope in knowing what God has planned for us in death. That seems to be the issue for the Thessalonians. The passage before us today has a very specific context. The issue comes up rather suddenly in the...

Last week we began looking at this idea that we are calling Spiritual DNA: An Examination of the Church. Our guiding text is 1 Thessalonians 1:3 which tells us that God gave thanks for this church which exhibited a faith that works, a love that...

Today, we want to highlight a church with a faith that works. Here’s the point. Sooner or later, we all have to face this question: “Will our faith work?” That is, faith is not really on display when everything is easy; faith is on display when...

We are in a series entitled Just Like Jesus. The idea is that in certain specific events in the last week of Jesus’ life we might learn to live like Him in similar episodes of our lives. Thus far, we have examined the topic of living like Jesus in...

A Commentary on the Lords Supper

We are in a series entitled Just Like Jesus. The idea is that in certain specific events in the last week of Jesus’ life we might learn to live like Him in similar episodes of our lives. Last week, we examined the topic of living like Jesus in our...

As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to be just like Jesus. Now, understand that God loves us all just the way that we are, but He loves us too much to leave us just the way we are, He wants us to be just like Jesus. That’s not just in some...

We are announcing a major initiative in our church joining with other Baptist Christians across our state to Share the Peace of Jesus. One of the initial waves of our initiative is to pray in neighborhoods across our city, “The Peace of Jesus.” (Our...

We have been examining the truth of Jesus’ claim that He is the “way, the truth, and the life.” As Christians, we believe that this claim is true. We said last week that if we believe that truth, then we must live like it. Today, we conclude this...

We have been examining the truth of Jesus’ claim that He is the “way, the truth, and the life.” As Christians, we believe that this claim is true. The question is whether we live as though we really believe. Luke records Jesus’ encounter with three...

Christianity stands or falls on the validity and certainty of the resurrection of Christ. It is as Paul said to the Corinthians, “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty….your faith is futile, you are...

Last week we began looking at Jesus’ claim, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” How do we know this claim is true? Who is this Jesus that He could make such a claim? We considered the question of unbelievers which is “Isn’t it offensive to...

Along the way the way this year, I want to do some major teaching on our core values as a church. I have suggested that we adopt these four core values as a church. 1. We much preach the same Gospel. 2. We much declare this message to the next...

Why this sermon this morning? Well, for starters, every generation is going to be faced with a new temptation to believe the lies of Satan. Though, in our midst this morning, I have no doubt that we are thoroughly convinced that abortion is a sin...

Last week, we talked about “A Biblical Solution to Chronic Procrastination.” We learned that in order to avoid procrastination we ought to follow the will of the Lord, be filled with the Spirit, and focus our life around worship. When we thing about...

How would your life change if you were absolutely convinced that God Himself was with you? In these weeks leading up to Christmas we have been studying the subject of the “Theology of Christmas.” We have examined the sovereignty of God, the...

As we considered last week the humanity of Jesus, I made the statement that “No one really doubted the humanity of Jesus.” The same is not the case, of course, when we consider the deity of Jesus. Understand that the Jews of the first century had an...

This Christmas season we are considering some theological themes underscored in the Christmas story. One of the mysteries of the Gospel is that Jesus came to this earth fully God and fully man. He was not sometimes God and sometimes man. He was not...
