This is part three of a 5-part series on Christian ministry. Ministry is people serving people, led by the word and Spirit, to behold Christ and become like him. This must happen in the church. In this sermon, we consider the unity of the body in all its parts and the need for women's and men's ministry in the church and what that looks like.

This is part two of a 5-part series on Christian ministry. Ministry is people serving people, led by the word and Spirit, to behold Christ and become like him. This must happen in our homes. In this sermon, we consider the primacy of ministry in the home and practical wisdom for our roles and activities in service to Christ.

This is part one of a 5-part series on Christian ministry. Here we consider the foundation principles that define ministry and its focus. Too often we are pulled away to lesser things. Here is a call to see ministry as people serving people, led by the word and Spirit, to behold Christ and become like him.

Jesus closes his sermon by warning about those who come to hear him but do not do what he says. Here is a call to see Jesus as Lord and then live under his lordship. A life of discipleship and obedience is a life built upon the foundation that is Christ.

We consider the importance and application of Jesus' teaching that "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." Every thought, attitude, word, and behavior flows from the heart. If we are to avoid hypocrisy and grow as disciples, we must learn how to understand the heart and how to behold God and his truth to change the heart into Christlikeness.

This sermon examines Jesus warning about a judgmental or critical spirit stemming from a heart of self-righteousness. Disciples of Christ are called to show the forgiveness, mercy, and grace we've received through Jesus Christ. This is a call to see your sin and turn to Christ in repentance and to find peace in him and strength to love others.

This sermon continues to examine Jesus' command to love our enemies. The key to loving our enemies is to imitate the love of God. We can do this because we have received this love and are enamored with this love.

If we sing about this love, let us also live in light of this love.

This sermon considers what it means to love our enemies and how we can do that in the grace that God provides. Here is a call to be other-worldly in our dealings with our opponents. Timely and needed in our present hour.

This sermon begins our study through Jesus' "Sermon on the Plain." Here we see a stark distinction between those who follow Jesus for wrong motives. This is a call to be blessed in Jesus and his kingdom rather than in the false hopes of the world.

This sermon looks at how Jesus calls twelve to be his apostles. Jesus spends all night in prayer and then calls common men to go in his name to the ends of the earth declaring the good news of the kingdom of God. God works the same way today. So let us pray and go in Jesus name.
