John 1:1-18 - Behehld His Glory

Hebrews 2:9-18 - Born to Die

Colossians 1:25-2:15 - In the weeks before Christmas we want to consider why Jesus is the reason for the season. Why is He so special? How does His incarnation make a practical difference in our lives? How is it that the incarnation of Jesus Christ can actually affect my work, my play, my marriage, my family and my personal problems? Paul addresses many of these issues very pointed in his letter to the Colossians.

Galations 5:13-6:5 - How do you know the difference between living and acting in the power of the flesh or by the power of the Holy Spirit when you are engaged in routine daily Christian activities? In this message we will attempt to explore some of the tell tale signs that mark the activity of the Holy Spirit in our lives versus functioning in the natural man or fleshly nature.

Romans 7:14-25 - Most of us have heard throughout our Christian experience that we have two natures and that we will live in conflict between those two natures as long as we are on this earth. But, Paul does not mean by the flesh these human bodies, nor does he leave us with despair over a struggle that will never end. The triumphant note in verse 25 carries us into Romans 8 and a wonderful life in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 7:1-13 - The Power of the Cross in My Life. An overview from Romans 7 on how Jesus sets me free from the Law.

Romans 6:15-23 - Beginning Life in the Spirit. Truly understanding this resurrection life in Jesus Christ and the freedom that it brings raises some interesting questions. One of these questions includes shall we continue in sin because we are living in grace? Merely asking the question exposes a failure to understand the deeper work of Christ, while affirming that we have, indeed, understood Paul correctly on the nature and scope of grace! In this sermon we will explore both grace and freedom and the heart attitude Jesus produces in us.

Romans 6:12-14 - A Living Sacrifice. Understanding the marvelous work Jesus did on the cross to solve our problems with the sin nature, we must now appropriate this work by faith in an act of dedication, once and for all, wherein we offer ourselves to God and all the members of our mortal body as His instrument to be filled and controlled by His Spirit in this resurrected life we have in Jesus. This is a decisive act of the will, also executed on the basis of faith.

Romans 6:12 - Understanding What Is Possible! A practical look at applying Romans 6:12.

Romans 6:5-11 - Paul is laying a foundation in these verses for us to understand how it is possible to be joined to Jesus Christ in His resurrection and indwelt by His Spirit in order that we might live free from the power of sin. It is the second point in the gospel. Not only am I forgiven, I am set free to be a new person, a person who is pleasing to God in deed and fact.
