Biblical Preaching

If you could ask a prophet of God anything, what would you ask? A scribe comes to Christ after hearing Jesus answer antagonists and he asked, "Which commandment is the most important of all?” Christ is more than a prophet and Christ presents the core of devotion to God. This message also digs a little deeper into the passages behind Christ's answer.

This message reflects upon the theme of God's gift of salvation and the Christian's response.

To whom do you listen? What expert and authority has influence upon you? The fallacy of authority holds power by not recognizing that authorities can be wrong even in concensus. The transfiguration of Christ is a reminder of ultimate authority and truth.

What Christians think about Christ shapes every fundamental belief of the Christian faith from creation to the new creation of the final resurrection. This is how Jesus is the beginning and end --- the Alpha and the Omega. Furthermore, the identity of Jesus will offend every person's pride.

Blessed is the one who humbles oneself according to the model of Christ. Christ's life, death, and resurrection set the example for every Christian's life. This message pulls from Philippians 2:1-11 that includes the "hymn of Christ" to teach the depth of Christ's humility to serve and obey unto death.

How do you boast? The apostle Paul exposes the foolishness of boasting of oneself. This message pulls from 2 Corinthians 10:13-18 to reveal how Christians should boast in the Lord.

Blessed are those who see that God had appointed them for a purpose in the great commission. This message draws from Acts 26:12-20 to observe how Christ appointed the apostle Paul to bear witness of Christ before the nations and see how each Christian has a part.

A lack of gratitude is very revealing of a person's character. This message draws from Psalms like Psalm 69 to see each person's need to magnify God with thanksgiving.

Blessed are those who seek out God in difficult times. Why is knowing God so comforting to the faithful? This message draws greater insights about the encouragement and comfort of God from 2 Corinthians 1:3-11.

God has given Christians what they need to be strong and stand against evil. It is not by one's own morals or claims of faith. This message draws from Ephesians 6:10-20 to recognize the strength of the armor of God.
