The modern-day concept of a family trust is a good way to think of Hebrews 13:1-6.  God has given God's people an inheritance that we are already beginning to receive.  In the words of the sermon, it is a "done deal."

This sermon comes from Hebrews 12:18-23 which describes the huge contrast between Mount Sinai and Mount Zion.  The text describes the unshakable nature of the kingdom that God has prepared for us.

Jim Grasley uses Genesis 16:7-9,13-14 as his text for this sermon about the plight of Hagar, servant girl to Sarai, wife of Abraham.  This is a challenging and very contemporary subject.

This concerns an encounter that Jesus had with a man wanting Jesus to legislate in a family spat about the division of the inheritance.  Jesus was not drawn into that debate, but rather told him the story of a rich farmer trying what to do with his excess grain wealth.  Found in Luke 12:13-21, the sermon is about the role that wealth plays in our lives.

This is the second sermon from Colossians.  Last week we looked at how the Empire seeks to capture our imagination, causing us to be poor representatives of Jesus and the Cross.  In this week's sermon from Colossians 2:6-19 we will look at how the Empire seeks to remove our power and replace it with the power of the Empire.

The text for this lesson is from Colossians 1:15-28 and it concerns the threat posed to the Colossians church by cultural forces that wanted to steal their Christ-inspired imagination.

Sunday's sermon came from Luke 10:25-37 in which Jesus tells a religious scribe or lawyer the story about who we call "the Good Samaritan.  The question that prompted this story was the lawyer's question, "Who is my neighbor?"  You can go to this link to see a 3 minute 20 second video clip of the conclusion of the sermon:  Who is My Neighbor? - YouTube

Jim Grasley brought this powerful sermon on Sunday, 9/6.  A compilation of texts, this sermon looked at the way we often treat the alien and stranger as opposed to what God asked us to do in the Bible.

This week's sermon comes from 1 Kings 19 which describes Elijah's rescue from Jezebel and a terrible drought.  The sermon looks at the way in which, in spite of difficult circumstances, Elijah remained attentive to God's voice.

Have you ever wondered about how you should listen to a sermon?  Conscientious pastors will tell you that there is a partnership between speaker and listener that is to be desired, and this sermon is about that.  Acts 2:37-41 is the text.
