On Triumphalism sermon

Luke 22:31-34;  Daniel 3:16-28; Acts 12

In our social media driven society where memes are the norm and thoughts are short, it is critical that Christians pay attention to the messages we send. Where a full understanding of victory in Christ leads to freedom and joyful service, triumphalism that mimics the concepts of worldly victory will lead to faith that is constantly under attack, despair, and devastation. Let’s concentrate on being filled with the love of God so fully that the enemy trembles at the power of His presence in us, and those who are currently the devil’s captives find hope as they long for Jesus.

On Drowning sermon

Romans 1:18-32; 2:1-4

With the goodness of God and the Gospel of Jesus as the beginning, the list of sins Paul shares in Romans reads in a different light. Not laundry list for us to vindicate our thoughts on “them” nor a screed against sinners, it is instead a moment to make the faithful weep with compassion over the plight of humanity, lost without Christ, drowning in the despair of wickedness run rampant without the grace of God. Who will save me? … God’s kindness leads to repentance.

PS – I had a song line in my head that kept rolling with the On Identity episode. I couldn’t remember it. It had a line about the devil saying “Who do you think you are?” I ran across it today. Shoulda known it would be Casting Crowns.

PSS – One more. God brought this one to me this week, and it seems to fit here. If you want the rest of His message that came with it, you can visit the Facebook Post here.

On Beginnings sermon

God is the hero of Scripture, and He introduces Himself before He reveals anything else in creation. When we prepare to look at understand sin, we must see it in the context of the whole story, beginning with God’s goodness in creation and ending with His redeeming the whole creation. Sin is important to understand, but it’s really just the bit in between.

On Identity sermon

The enemy of our soul is a thief out to steal our identity in Christ. When he asks, “Who do you think you are?” we need to know we are called to belong to Jesus.

On Worked Together sermon

Romans 8:18-39

Sometimes it’s hard to feel our lives will be worked together by God for good. Often we just feel worked over, beaten down, and struggling to hold hope. We need to fix our eyes on the things of God, and realign our expectations with the full Word God speaks to us in this passage.
