What should Christians do with the desire to sin in their lives.

From John 13:1-17, we see five actions of Jesus that help to reveal our Savior’s character and remind us of our calling to humbly serve one another.

Psalm 51 is one of the most well-known and beloved passages in all Scripture. As we examine David's prayer after his sin with Bathsheba, we learn how to seek God’s forgiving, transforming, and restoring grace when we commit sin.

Many are troubled by the distressing news stories coming from all around the globe. The world today seems to be spiraling out of control, and we are tempted to ask, “Why can’t things go back to the way they were?” However, God’s Word tells us that such a question “does not come from wisdom.” In this sermon, we will explore the seven deadly stages of this kind of “foolish nostalgia.”

In this sermon on Hab. 3:16-19 we learn how to respond in a God glorifying way to very difficult foes, fears, and circumstances.

At one point or another, we have all wondered about the big questions of life: “Why do I exist? Is there real meaning to my life? Why is there evil in the world? What is the point of it all?” Far from shying away from such questions, God’s Word faces them head-on and provides answers that many might find surprising. In this sermon, we will join the author of Ecclesiastes on his quest for the answers to life’s toughest questions.

The subject of sanctification often suffers either from neglect or from misuse. Some Christians have been taught that sanctification is optional. Others think that doctrines of justification and sanctification are pitted against one another as opposites. One is sweet and glorious – one is wearisome and laborious. What is the truth about our sanctification? How important is it? How does it work? The answer God gives in Philippians 2:12-13 reveals that our obedience is both a daily necessity and also a marvelous mystery beyond our comprehension.

In context, the danger is false teaching. Assuming you have received Christ Jesus as “the Lord,” the real thrust of this text is the stability of your walk in Him. Your thankfulness externally confirms God’s work internally.

We all often face times of trial and trouble in life. As believers we want to know, how does God want us to respond in the day of trouble? What does it look like to respond with faith even in the midst of difficult circumstances? From Psalm 86, as the king of Israel calls out to God in the day of his trouble, we learn five practical ways to demonstrate faith in the face of difficulty.

Jesus’ teaching on the Father’s perfect provision for His children liberates us from the shackles of anxiety about our lives. What are we to pursue with this new-found freedom from worry? What is to be the primary pursuit of the Christian? This sermon focuses on Jesus’ command for His disciples to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
