Last week we learned that Jesus’ miracles were not just random acts of kindness. Jesus’ miracles were signs meant to authenticate His claim to be the Christ, the Son of God. The signs were verifiable proof that Jesus was sent from God (John 3:2). Last week we looked at 4 of Jesus’ signs and todayContinueContinue reading “Jesus’ Signs in the Gospel of John: Part 2”

Advent: God is Love (1 John 4:8)
In April of 1975, the #1 song in America was Minnie Riperton’s “Loving You”. It began with this line: “Loving you is easy because you’re beautiful.” Not because you are nice, not because you are kind, but because you are beautiful. This is actually a consistent theme in modern music. Turn on “Top 40” radioContinueContinue reading “Advent: God is Love (1 John 4:8)”
Land That I Love (Jeremiah 29:4-7)
Every 4th of July I find myself singing, “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood. I am unapologetically proud to be an American. I am not only proud to be an American, I am proud to be a Christian. In fact, it is best to say that I am proud to be a Christian livingContinueContinue reading “Land That I Love (Jeremiah 29:4-7)”
A Godly Father’s Priorities
Today is Father’s Day. A day when our nation honors Fathers and thanks God for the vital role of Fatherhood. A young boy was once asked to give a definition of Father’s Day. He replied, “It’s just like Mother’s Day, only you don’t spend as much on the present.” This is true because all dadContinueContinue reading “A Godly Father’s Priorities”
Easter: Don’t Forget Jesus (Luke 17:11-19)
People rarely call their insurance agent just to chat. Insurance is something we get in order to protect ourselves from harm. We are glad we have it, but hope we never have to use it. While insurance for a car is good, Jesus does not sell life insurance. Salvation is not a life insurance policyContinueContinue reading “Easter: Don’t Forget Jesus (Luke 17:11-19)”
Advent: Hope (1 Tim 4:10)
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).

A Godly Mother (Happy Mother’s Day)
Moms, could you imagine being the mother of Jesus? What do you do with a perfectly obedient child? Before we begin today, let us make sure we are discussing the mother of Jesus who is found in the Bible. There is a profound disagreement between Catholics and Baptists regarding Jesus’ mother. Baptists stress weContinueContinue reading “A Godly Mother (Happy Mother’s Day)”
The Fall of Man (Genesis 3)
In Genesis 1 and 2, God made man and gave him a beautiful home, job, and wife. Everything seemed so perfect, what could possibly go wrong? In this Sunday’s sermon we shall study Genesis 3 and learn how sinful it is to desire God’s blessings more than God’s presence. The Con (3:1-6). In this sectionContinueContinue reading “The Fall of Man (Genesis 3)”
