Woodbury Church of Christ Sermons

God has always used negative situations for positive outcomes. Where are the blessings of this current situation? 

This is the first in a series of conversations from our ministry staff about issues, passages, and topics regarding revival and our discipleship. Today we're talking about the idea that our culture still has enough trappings of Christianity that some people feel like they're Christians even when they're not following Christ. 

The biggest threat to our faith may not be the overt sin or false teaching. The biggest threat may be simple apathy. Our discipleship is on autopilot and we're headed for the ditch and...we're not worried about it. What can we do to get back on track? 

We all face crossroads where we have to choose between faithfulness and giving up or giving in. How can we choose the right path when the easy path is so...well...easy?

We all want God to protect us from hardship but what if God has something to teach us that can only be learned through difficulty?

When our faith starts to go on autopilot we want to substitute other, lesser things for the love that should mark every disciple. When Jesus wrote this letter to Ephesus he warned them, a church without love is not a Church of Christ. 

(Watch Online) Disciples know that Easter is special. We know we celebrate the risen Lord. But it's possible to overlook the way that miracle should impact the mundane, average, ordinary moments of our lives. 

(Watch Online) We tend to make the assumption that, if we do good things then good things should happen to us. Christ was faithful to God and every step led him closer to the cross. How is our obedience when we are confused about the results? 

(Watch Online) The Passover is a millennia-old festival that is deliberately designed by God to be celebrated in a very specific way. Then Jesus comes along and changes all of that, and teaches us something about how we view the future.  

(Watch Online) Scripture doesn't actually teach us to read Scripture...it's much bigger than that!
