Your Life; God’s Fingerprints | James 4:5

Sermon, Video

It may be your life, but God’s fingerprints are all over it. He created each of us, then turned us loose with the incredible optimism that we would come back to Him. He is jealous for our love and devotion. He is jealous for us infinitely and intimately. He has been jealous for us from the moment of our birth to the moment we walked away in sin. Anyone who has packed a bag somewhere along the line and has been shacking-up in a distant land, so to speak, just leave whatever you packed and come-on back home.

Got an Escape Plan? | Hebrews 2:2-3a

Sermon, Video

The 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem had not yet taken place, but if the dating of Hebrews is 64-68 AD, then annihilation was nearer than any of them realized. The time to be renewed in their faith was immediate! If that was true then, it is even truer today for us and for America – and it is likely nearer than any of us imagine. How will any of us escape?

Go To My Brothers and Tell Them! | John 20:17

Sermon, Video

Go to My brothers and tell them. Those words are found in the 17th verse in the 20th chapter of John’s Gospel, and a case could be made that they are as significant as any other part of resurrection story. Many of us probably don’t recognize those words as belonging to the resurrection event much less see them as hugely significant. Yet, they are, and they are meant for each of us personally.

Angels and Apologetics | Hebrews 1:4-9

Sermon, Video

If you were a Jew attempting to persuade Jewish Christians to come back to the Temple, and your appeal to the advantage of the prophets failed to do so, then the angels as intermediaries between God and Moses just might convince them to leave Christianity behind. If you were writing this letter, how would you convince them to remain faithful? As it happens, this is a terrific expose’ on apologetics and the identity of Christ.

Wisdom that Wrecks | James 3:13-16

Sermon, Video

This person cannot bear the popularity of others, cannot stand the success of others, becomes angry if someone seems to have more influence, is quick to criticize the ideas and work of others, will humiliate and degrade others with no thought as to the hurt that may be caused. Is there an antidote to the kind of wisdom that wrecks. Yes! Yes! Yes!
