This is a sermon that helps us develop the right perspective about our needs. God meets our needs for our good, but EVEN MORE than this, he meets out needs for His own Name's sake.

Ways God Vindicates His Name...

GOD FORGIVES SIN

GOD CONDEMNS ENEMIES

GOD DISPATCHES PRAISERS

We considered three things the next generation needs

THEY NEED TO BE TAUGHT

THEY NEED TO BE SHOWN

THEY NEED TO BE SAVED

Asaph struggles with doubts about God's goodness...

ASAPH THOUGHT PRAYER WASN'T WORKING

ASAPH THOUGHT PRAISE WASN'T WORKING

ASAPH REALIZED HE HAD NOT BEEN LOOKING AT GOD

The final sermon in the Upside-Down Kingdom series. We see in Jesus

THE COURAGE TO STAND UP

and

THE COURAGE NOT TO FIGHT

each in it's appropriate situation

Did Jesus have to BELIEVE? Yes! He was faithful in both senses of that word—he always followed through obediently AND he did so because he was full of faith in God. We see this in the story of Jesus rescuing a young boy from demonic possession. We see "three C's" in this passage:

A COMPLICATED PROBLEM

THE COMPASSIONATE HEALER

OUR CONFLICTED FAITHS

In the transfiguration, Peter, James, and John have four specific experiences which we too have in our own way:

AN AMAZING ENCOUNTER

INCREASING UNDERSTANDING

FEARLESS HUMILITY

A RESURRECTION MINISTRY

Christ gives us three reasons to come after him and forsake the world:

BECAUSE THE WORLD'S GAME IS RIGGED

BECAUSE THE WORLD'S PRIZES ARE JUNK

BECAUSE GOD'S JUDGE IS COMING

This is the seventh sermon in our Upside-Down Kingdom series. In it, we consider four ways of answering Jesus's question: "Who do people say that I am?"

AN ENEMY

A PROPHET

CHRIST THE CONQUEROR

CHRIST THE SUFFERING SERVANT KING

In our ongoing series on Spiritual Disciplines, we are studying the Disciplines of FELLOWSHIP with GOD. Keeping a Spiritual Journal is one of those disciplines; it helps us to defend against three kinds of "drunken" thinking about ourselves:

THINKING YOU HAVE GRACE WHEN YOU DON'T

THINKING TOO MUCH OF YOURSELF

THINKING TOO LITTLE OF YOUR FAITH

Continuing our series through the Baptist Faith & Message, this sermon examines Article 11 on Evangelism and Missions. Four Essentials of Evangelism & Missions:

The Evangelist Must Call for CONVERSION

The Scope of Evangelism is COMPREHENSIVE

The Believer's Decision Will Lead to CONFRONTATION

The Believer Will Enter a New COMMUNITY
