Glen Allen Church of Christ Sermons

Asaph's worship in Psalms 73 changed his attitude. Isaiah's worship in Isaiah 6 changed his whole life! What was going on when Isaiah had this vision?

John 4:1-26 To take the focus off of her life, the Samaritan woman wanted to discuss the correct place of worship, a matter of dispute between Jews and Samaritans. Jesus didn't let her off so easily.

Psalms 73 Asaph was an important musician in the days of King David, but he was having a faith problem, which he describes in Psalms 73. His struggle was over the question of why good things happen to bad people!

Acts 2:42-47, 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 Millions of believers in Jesus see no connection between their faith in Christ and participation in worship with the church.

Revelation 4-5 John had an amazing vision of heaven: "a throne, with one seated on it." This answered the question of his persecuted readers concerning who was in charge of the world. He also saw a "Lamb" standing as though it had been slain," but which is also called "the Lion of the Tribe of Judah." Only the Lamb was able to open the scroll which was in God's right hand. All the while, worship was taking place!

John 6:60-71 What happens when we miscommunicate life-saving messages? The scripture in John is the aftermath of what was considered difficult teaching by Jesus. The disciples chose to walk away from this difficult teaching. Jesus' message was meant to be taken seriously but something the disciples found difficult to grasp; I think in large part because they didn't want to believe it.

Acts 22:1-16 What is baptism? The verb means to dip or plunge, so in the Bible it is always by immersion. Why is baptism important? Who is baptism for? Can I be saved without being baptized? When should I be baptized? Listen to learn more.

Matthew 18:21-35 Peter heard what Jesus said about forgiveness and wanted to know more. The problem was, that he tried to quantify it.

Matthew 18:10-20 Cain asked, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Another question: Are YOU your brother's keeper? Jesus says you are!

Matthew 18:1-9 Before Jesus came nobody believed humility was a good thing. In the ancient world, humiilty was viewed as degrading. Jesus came and showed that humility is not a weakness; in fact, it is a power. Humility is the ability to lower oneself for the benefit of others.
