Jesus, Name Above All Names

Jesus Christ offers himself as a label in place of the labels we give ourselves.

Still Not Saved

"The harvest is finished, and the summer is gone," the people cry, "yet we are not saved!" This message is given for those who have stiffened their necks at the invitation of God, whose hearts have become hardened through sin and self-centeredness. The window of God's grace is closing, but it is not too late yet. There is a balm in Gilead, there is a physician there.

The Cry of the Savior

What many people call the Lord's prayer was really a teaching, not a prayer. His prayer was that the people that make up the church would live as one. Deep, intimate, consistent, joyful communion. To love and be loved, to know and be known, to serve and be served. To experience the power of God flowing in them, through them and for them. That their lives would be so blended (not just an hour on Sunday) that others would look upon the beauty of these relationships and actually believe in Christ....

Blessed Are Your Eyes

Jesus told his disciples, "blessed are your eyes, for they see". They see what others can't, they see what others won't, they see what others long to, but didn't. There are things that are freely given us…but we must have the spiritual vision to recognize them, appreciate them, assimilate them, possess them, and maximize them.

The Testing of Miraculous Faith

It is one thing to have faith, it is quite enough for it to be tested. Faith without an object has nothing to attach itself to; but once it attaches to something not yet seen, not held, not obtained…it will most always be tested. It is through great faith and great patience that we inherit the promises of God; and miracles seem to find those whose faith passes the tests of life.

Strength from the Lord

This strength is divine, available, limitless, without cost, essential, pure, perceptible, and miraculous. The issue for us today is not whether you believe that is true or not, but are you living with an obstructed channel by which the part of God's nature can flow freely to you and through you to others.

Life in the Spirit

The greatest need in the life of every believer is to live in the spirit and to walk in the fullness thereof. This message explores what this life looks like as it manifests itself in our day to day lives.

God Approved Fathers

The Walk Up the Mountain

David lost his throne to his son Absalom who turned Israel against him. David walked up the mount of olives weeping, but worshipped when he got to the top.

When Salvation Finds You

The story of Zacchaeus is one of the first examples in the New Testament of God finding one of his own. Perched in a tree of curiosity, and tied there by his own sinfulness; Zacchaeus is content to only catch a glimpse of God. But God has other plans...eternity together.

Confidence, Power, and Results in Prayer

Most of us feel like we should pray more, and often that our prayers go unanswered. There are no magic formulas for prayer but there are patterns in the scripture which guide us into the way that we should let our petitions be made known unto God.

Losing Something Borrowed

What do you do when you have lost what is necessary for you to continue the Lord's work in your life? When you have lost your edge, your passion, your purity, your peace, or your power. Just like Elisha instructed, you take your master to the place you lost it and depend upon him to raise it. Once he has, it is your responsibility to reach out and take hold of it.

Navigating the Worst of Times

This is the story of David's fleeing his son Absalom, who is taking over the kingdom and seeking his life. This lament is both a realization, a declaration, a cry, and an expectancy that in the end God would have the last say in his life. He navigated the worst of times just like he did the bets; with his eyes fixed upon God.

Fear and Joy

In Matthew's account of the Resurrection, he uses the phrase "fear and joy". This describes not only the difference between those who do not believe and we who do, but our experiencing of both of these dynamics in our life with Christ.

Everything Worship

Times and Seasons

The bible explains to us that our lives are comprised of times and seasons. There is a time, a specific time to do and enjoy all things. The question in our lives is are we doing them in the right time and the right way, and are we enjoying them in the way in which they come. The tragedy is not to have died young, but to live a long life and never really live.

The Beauty of Transition

For many the word transition has a negative connotation. It stirs up feelings of displacement, frustration, confusion, and unmet expectations. But for the christian it should be a time of great expectation; because transition proclaims the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another one. And we know as God's children the destination of each transition is for our betterment and his glory.

Even Now

The story of Lazarus deals with the issues of why Jesus is seemingly slow to show up, and how much power is released when he does. Often times we have buried things before their time because our circumstances seemed to dictate as much. But God reminds us today that if we will simply believe, we too can see the glory of God.

It Was Only the Beginning Part 2

Of all the places for Jesus to first display the glory of his power, he chose the simple festive occasion of a wedding. On the surface we see the savior meeting a need, but it was much, much more than that. The last statement will be our subject... "and this was the beginning of miracles that Jesus did, and his disciples believed on Him."

The Simplicity of Christ

As christians we need to be careful that we do not let others exchange, dilute, add to or take away from the simplicity of Christ in our lives. It is an exchange, Him for us. This message deals with the subject of how the world and our adversary tries to see if we will be open to "another jesus", "another spirit" and "another gospel."

Backsliding

The important thing is not so much to monitor it in others, but to know what it looks like in you. May God grant us eyes to see it, a heart to hate it, the courage to deal with it, and the character to make no excuses concerning it.

What is God teaching you when he is silent?

The Evidence of Eternal Life

Our salvation is one of grace and not of works; but it is crystal clear in the word of God that we show our salvation by our works. Works of grace, motivated by love. Selfless service, for others, unto God.

Preaching the gospel

For many the issue of sharing the gospel is simply not talked about. We may at times share our faith, but rarely the gospel itself. Usually that is because people rarely reject our testimony, but can easily reject the gospel. This sermon shows us the essentials of what we need to say when we share the message.
