The healing of blind Bartimaeus. Humility and mercy from Christ.

Sermon on drawing near to God.

This sermon looks at hope, not hopefullness, hope. The Christian's hope is external to him/herself. The Christian's only hope is Christ.

This sermon looks at this difficult section of Hebrews. Can a person lose their salvation? Is a warning being made against an event which cannot occur? What is the purpose of this warning? We must pay much closer attention lest we drift away.

In the sermon we explore how Christians need to continually deepen their faith and theological perspectives and understanding. We see that being a victim of persecution or anything else requires us to have a High Priest who deals with us gently but at the same time deals with us as he ought, challenging us to go further.

This sermon is about how Jesus, as our High Priest, is able to sympathize with our weaknesses and able to be genly with the ignorant and wayward. We have a holy God who is able to deal gently with us.

In this sermon we look at the deceitfulness of sin, the need to stay connected to the body of Christ (the Church), and the necessity of examining our hearts today.

The sermon talks about the need for perseverance in the ground for it. Also that we are the House of God and that He, Jesus, is the builder if this house. We are all called brothers. We are all made family in the house of God. This unity, with Christ and with one another is the basis of our strength.

1. Through suffering and death Jesus destroyed the one with the power of death, the Devil. 2. Through suffering and death Jesus propitiated the wrath of God. 3. Through suffering and death Jesus helps His people.

In this sermon we look at the example of Jesus' suffering to give encouragement to those who are now suffering or will suffer. For those in Christ, suffering has redemptive purpose. God reveals Hid very nature in His method of bringing many sons to glory. It demonstrates even more so than creation ex nehilo His power and glory.
