Woodbury Church of Christ Sermons

Too often we present the Gospel just as forgiveness, which is true but it's not the entire truth. Like a rowboat with only one paddle, preaching half the Gospel sends us in circles, never really moving forward. What are we missing?

Most of us could recycle our New Year's Resolutions every year. There's something about change that is so hard it feels impossible. But there is a way to write a better story for our lives. As we explore the Gospel of Matthew, we'll catch a glimpse of a better story for our lives.

Nobody was apathetic about Jesus. Some were compelled, some were repulsed but nobody ignored Him. What was the difference between the ones who were drawn to Jesus and the ones who were driven away?

Joy is a discipline, you have to light the fire before you feel the warmth. But once the flame of joy is lit it glows bright. The arrival of Jesus brings joy to the world!

Before joy is an experience, it's a discipline but joy MUST account for pain and sorrow. If our joy can only exist in the absence of suffering, it's not true joy.

We want joy to just happen but the Bible the Bible teaches us joy is something that won't just happen, it must be fought for.

Being fully known is hard, choosing to invite God into our life is joyful.

Life is hard and even the strongest often need to be encouraged to keep going.

Every big challenge in life requires a why. What is your big why?

We think we're blessing the nations when we give generously...and we are, BUT we too often fail to acknowledge the blessings we receive when we dig deep and give.
