Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before…

What are the consequences of entertaining and listening to false teachers? Join Pastor Steve as he looks at 2 John 1:8-13 and shows the two responses we must have.

In the midst of all the death, destruction and judgment of God, there are many songs sung to the Lord of heaven and earth. The angels, the elders, all the redeemed all give honor and glory to the God of the universe. But did Jesus sing in Revelation? Well, no, but in a certain way, yes! We can use the musical term "sonata" to describe how the Lord Jesus himself gives to His servant, John some of the "recap" of His revelation. How so? Join the Grace United crew as we marvel at the well-pleasing Sonata at the end of Revelation.

There are times when it would be nice to know what someone is thinking. There was a movie a while back called “What Women Want” and it was the story of a man who, because of a lightning strike, could hear the thoughts of women. Some of those thoughts were very helpful . . . some were quite disconcerting.…

We must let Scripture tell us who Jesus is... and it says He is the only way to salvation!

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and didn’t understand anything they were saying because they were using technical or specialized vocabulary? Maybe a Doctor explained some health issue to you in medical terms that were very appropriate and precise but you had no idea what he was saying because…

This morning we look at the first of several confrontations between Jesus and the religious leaders of the day. They appear to all have taken place while Jesus was teaching in the temple area during the week before His crucifixion. Let’s imagine the setting. Jesus had gone into the temple and turned…

The first in a new sermon series through the Gospel of John titled “Jesus Christ, Son of God and Savior.”

R. Kent Hughes begins his commentary on Hebrews with this great image from the Chronicles of Narnia. Lucy, caught up in her spiritual quest, saw the lion Aslan –Christ—shining white and huge in the moonlight. In a burst of emotion Lucy rushed to him, burying her face in the rich silliness of his mane,…

Jesus is the greatest display of God's love for us.

Introduction Last week, we were introduced to the situation that John was in. He was on a prison island called Patmos. We learned that the book of Revelation does not begin with our problems, but with Jesus. It is only after being reminded of what Jesus has done for us that the situations we find ourselves…

November 9, 2014 Intro – Today’s message is tough. With great sadness I share with you the devastation that comes from rejecting Jesus Christ. Most people reject Jesus because the world rejects Him, and the world has more influence on us than God. It’s so much easier to just go along. It is so much wiser…

Intro – John Newton, the slave trader turned pastor and writer of “Amazing Grace”, in his old age used to lose his train of thought – sometimes mid-sermon. Then he would say, “I have lost my train of thought, but this I know. I know what a great sinner I am; and I know what a great Savior He is.” Nothing’s…

1. I sometimes amaze myself at how superficial I can be. Take this Bible for example...this is my wife's Bible that I'm using today (flowery designs on the cover), as you can see by the designs on it. Now, the first time I saw this Bible my initial thought was, “Boy, that's girly.... I wouldn't want…

December 7, 2014 Intro – The Dec 7, 2009 SI named Yankee SS Derek Jeter “Sportsman of the Year”. A pix showed Jeter from the back walking down the hallway toward the Yankee locker room. He is pointing up at a sign that says, “I want to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee.” If you’re a baseball…

Intro – This passage is not easy, but I love it and its message. From our earthborn perspective, it is almost bizarre. But that is exactly the point. This is an other-worldly event. This is the kingdom of God in preview. This event purposely follows what came just before. Note v. 28, “Now about eight…

Intro – This morning we are looking at an amazing passage of Scripture that tells how Jesus called his disciples. Contrary to what we think, they didn’t just drop everything overnight and follow Him. As relates to Peter and his partners, it was at least a 3-fold process. First, John the Baptist introduces…

Intro – One day with Mom and Dad gone, brother Jon, age 15, got ahold of the car keys and helped himself to a ride in Dad’s brand new Ford station wagon. Naturally, his sin found him out when he backed into a fence and put a heavy scratch on the rear fender. When I found out, we connived to save his…

Intro – A lecturer named Emily Kimbrough was once being introduced when a loud hissing sound came from off-stage. The MC excused herself to speak to a maintenance man beckoning from the side. She returned to announce, “Before we continue with the program I have some unhappy news. We will be delayed for…

Jesus, Is He God or Not? John 14:1,6-7 With all the lies perpetrated by cultist regarding the nature of Jesus, there is only one question that needs to be addressed… Is Jesus God? I. Jesus says, to put your trust in Him. Vs.1 A. Is this scriptural? Exodus 20:3 – 1st commandment. Deut. 6:5, 13-14 – God…

The Witnesses-Part II John 5:32-47 Introduction: Jesus Christ is either who He said that He was or He is a liar, those are the only two choices that people have. If there is ever a doubt in anyone’s mind as to the veracity of the claims of Christ’s deity, they should be laid to rest. As I said last week…

“The Witnesses” John 5:32-47 Introduction: People have two choices to make about the claims of Jesus Christ. They are either real or they are false. Christ is either the God in Flesh that He said that He was or He is the biggest phony and liar the world has ever known. Listen, the thing that we need…
