Never allow another person to determine your worth. Why? Because they are horrible at it and it is not their job. Christians need to spend less time worrying about what other people think about us and more time rejoicing in what God thinks about us. When you rejoice in God’s great love for you (John 3:16),ContinueContinue reading “Loved Like Leah (Genesis 29:31-35)”

Following the Good Shepherd (Genesis 29:1-30)
When you remember that you are walking on the righteous path, following the Good Shepherd, you can endure all the trials and sufferings you encounter.

Have you ever noticed, however, thatContinueContinue reading “Following the Good Shepherd (Genesis 29:1-30)”
Sleepwalking (Genesis 28:6-22)
Sleepwalking, according to WebMD, is a disorder that causes people to get up and walk around while they’re asleep. It is not just walking around, one woman drove to work on a Saturday Night while asleep! When someone is sleepwalking (driving!) they are performing routine tasks while not fully conscious. There is some debate onContinueContinue reading “Sleepwalking (Genesis 28:6-22)”
Discipleship Self-Examination (Matt 4:19)
Knowing where you are is vital to getting where you need to be. Most malls and large shopping centers have maps that indicate the location of shops and various amenities. One helpful tool on these maps is the “You Are Here” sticker. The purpose of this sticker, obviously, is to reveal your current location soContinueContinue reading “Discipleship Self-Examination (Matt 4:19)”
A New Year’s Resolution: Pursue Holiness (1 Peter 1:16)
Holy means to be consecrated. This is not a word we use very often but it means that something or someone is set apart by God for honorable use. In this sermon we shall briefly discuss how we are to pursue holiness, even while we are holy. You were Unholy. Ephesians 2:1-3 tells us thatContinueContinue reading “A New Year’s Resolution: Pursue Holiness (1 Peter 1:16)”
Noel (John 3:16)
Over 2000 years ago everything changed. It changed because “God sent His one and only Son so that all who believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Jesus, the Son of God, would live a perfectly righteous life and give up His life in order to save people from theirContinueContinue reading “Noel (John 3:16)”
Advent: Love (John 3:16)
Turn on the radio at any time of day and you will undoubtedly hear songs about love. The problem, however, is that the “love” they sing about is actually lust. It is selfish music. It is music that has devolved into an obsession about how someone looks and about how someone makes you feel. ItContinueContinue reading “Advent: Love (John 3:16)”
Advent: Joy (Luke 2:10)
When the Angels announced to the shepherds that the “Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11) had been born, they proclaimed that this was “good news of great joy for all the people” (Luke 2:10). Christmas is a time of great joy because Jesus has come into our world as fully God and fullyContinueContinue reading “Advent: Joy (Luke 2:10)”
Advent: Peace (Isaiah 7 & 9)
True and lasting peace is only possible through Jesus Christ. All other attempts to find peace are profitless. This is because true and lasting peace is only possible through forgiveness and only Jesus offers forgiveness. We continue to fight one another because we refuse to forgive one another. 700 years before Jesus was born, IsaiahContinueContinue reading “Advent: Peace (Isaiah 7 & 9)”
Advent: Jesse’s Stump (Isaiah 11:1-10)
By the time this sermon is over, I pray that you will never be able look at a stump the same way again. I pray that every stump you see will cause you to pause and give thanks to God for providing you with hope because you remember that God does not reject His peopleContinueContinue reading “Advent: Jesse’s Stump (Isaiah 11:1-10)”
