“Three Angles of Relationships”

The title is not what you think.  It isn’t about manipulating a friend or spouse or family member.  Take some time to read 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 and listen to this sermon.  Discover what indeed are the Three Angles of Relationships.

“The Message & the Messenger”

As you look at 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12, you will notice several different “for”s in the passage.  Each of these answer a question.  Listen to this sermon and learn what those questions are in this letter to the Thessalonians.  We pray you will be encouraged by these words as you read through them and apply them to your life today.

“God’s Servant – the Valley Before the Mountain”

The Messiah was going to be one who would provide salvation for His people.  Little did the Jews know that at His first advent, that Jesus Christ did not come to bring physical salvation from the Romans but spiritual salvation from their sins.  Isaiah 53 records what would end up taking place hundreds of years later as Christ ascended the hill to the cross of Calvary.  Isaiah 53 is an important part of the picture portrayed in this book of…

“The Potter & the Clay”

Remember the days of elementary art class.  It was always a great day when the teacher brought out that great big block of gray clay.  You often got to make some sort of pottery that was your very own design.  You got to select the color and glaze.  You were so happy of what you had created.  What great days those were looking back.  In the Bible, we find a clay too.  The metaphor though is a reference to mankind…

“Qualifications of Being God”

Despite all the pictures on the internet and what we have seen here and there throughout our lives, God is not an old man with a long white beard.  He is not some frail being.  We serve a sovereign God.  We serve an immense God.  Isaiah beautifully unfolds the characteristics of God in chapters 40-48.  As he does so, he shows how no other “god” of this world could possibly compare and that there really is only one God.  He…

“The Messiah of ‘Instead'”

There are many passages throughout the book of Isaiah that give us details about the Messiah who we believe and know to be Jesus Christ.  Come and explore Isaiah 61 as we continue to look at the Messiah through the book of Isaiah and see how He is indeed the Messiah of “Instead” from this passage.

“Isaiah: Bad News/Good News Prophet”

The story of Jesus Christ is not found only in the four gospels of the New Testament.  Much was said about Him before the Son of God was ever born as a man in Bethlehem.  For the next four Sundays we will be looking at the Messiah from the book of Isaiah.  We will be looking at the predictions, the prophecies concerning Him and even how those things have been fulfilled.

“The Liberty Limiting Principles”

Because of Christ’s work on the cross, those that have placed their faith in Him for salvation have freedom.  Paul discuss these liberties in Romans 14 but challenges us as well in respect to them.  How do you balance the new liberty in Christ with not becoming a stumbling block to others?  What is or can actually be considered a stumbling block?  These questions and more are answered in this sermon as we continue to look at the one anothers.

“Clarifying Our Thinking about Church”

What is your understanding of the church?  Do you see it as the building you enter on a Sunday morning?  Walk through the book of Acts with this sermon and understand the beginning of the church and what God had in mind when He put it together.
