(S1) He made the commitment to attend. Nothing would keep him from missing it! The weather; temps in the 40’s, a slight drizzle, even a frequent downpour wouldn’t keep him away. The setting; it was a long walk, the crowds- people everywhere. The seating was uncomfortable, the view depended on the moment,…

What‘s the point of worship? 1 Bless the Lord , O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! 2 Bless the Lord , O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, 3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast…

Where am I in terms of worshiping God? 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” What doe the Bible say about…

Question of the week: What do you enjoy the most in this world? Audience participation. Ask them what they shared. Repeat it and make appropriate comments. If we wanted to rephrase this question a little differently we could ask: What do you treasure or delight in the most? But these aren’t words we…

From warnings to worship! Jude while small in number of words, and verses, had a mighty amount to say. Strong warnings for the sanctified. Now we draw to an end of the writing and the start of our application for us as the church today as we close out this short letter. Jude methodically gave some words:…

1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count…

Worship - Defining the Heart of Worship I have wanted to study the topic of worship for a long time now. And so I am hoping today will be the first of many sermons on this topic.

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when…

There is one spiritual discipline that Christians in the past used to take more serious that most Christians fail to practice anymore. That discipline is family worship. The fact that it is not practiced anymore shows! Imagine if you never teach your children how to brush their teeth. What would happen?…

Do you talk to yourself? Are you an inner dialogue person? David talks to himself allot. He would use that internal dialogue to adjust his perspective. One of his most memorable places is in Psalm 42:5 “5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall…

The future is… How would you finish the statement/sentence? We want certainty and security. Nothing wrong with this and I believe it is one of the primary needs we have as humans. This is why the future can be so scary and we want to look backwards, for the past we already know. This is what the Lord…

A couple weeks ago, I introduced the sermon by discussing the problem with doing something for the first time. Do you remember that? I said the problem with doing something for the first time is that you can never repeat the event. You can do the exact same things in the exact same order, but it will…

Make a joyful noise . . . This message this morning involves participation, of your mind, your heart, your lips, your voice for it different than other services since the focus today is on singing.

So you can imagine my excitement when I figured out how God works to accomplish his will in the world. It’s…

Our Need For Redemption to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace . .

But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train…

Do you ever walk through the grocery store and just look at people. Not in a creepy way. But, people-watch. It’s fascinating. Until you realize that only about 25% of the people you see in the grocery store have placed there faith in Jesus Christ. And that people-watching becomes really sad. There are…

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?
