The Cost of Discipleship

Luke 9:23-26 Luke reminds us how we are to serve Christ. We look at how Jesus described the life of true believers and what it means to deny one’s self, pick up the cross, and follow Him. In light of the world’s view on life, we see how the believer should live, seeki

Rest for the Weary

Matthew 11:28-29 We look at the rest that is promised in Christ from this passage where Jesus says His yoke is easy and His burden light. All people are commanded to turn to Christ and experience the rest of His kingdom. We must obey His command and return to Him, for oth

Behind A Frowning Providence

Jonah 1:4-6 In the wake of the terrible disaster in Eastern Asia, we consider why these disasters are allowed to happen, with evidence from Jonah. God has a perfect right to do with His creation as He wills, and has the right to give and take life as He wills. As Jon

To Know the Love of Christ

Ephesians 3:14-19 On the last Sunday of this year, we take a look at our Christian walk and how important it is in our religion to know and to feel Christ’s love for us. We see several examples illustrating the breadth, length, height and depth of this love, and learn that

Peace Among Men

Luke 2:14 In another sermon that looks to the coming of the New Year, we see Christ as the Prince of Peace and consider how we, as Christians, are to strive for harmony with our brothers and sisters in the Lord. We examine Biblical peace to see what it is and also

What Shall I Give To The Lord

Psalm 116:12-13 In an extension of the application from this morning’s sermon, we examine what we should do in response to the love and grace that the Lord has shown us if we are His people. We see the psalmist deciding to lift the cup of salvation, to call upon the name

Jonah’s Calling

Jonah 1:13 We look at the call God gave to Jonah and at his flight to Tarshish. We are challenged to listen to whatever call God has given us and to be faithful to obey Him in it. We are also encouraged to note that Jonah repented and found usefulness in the Lord’s

Fervently Love One Another

1 Peter 4:8 Peter enjoins his readers to be fervent in their love to one another. We see that this love is in believers because they have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. The object of this love is our neighbors – everyone with whom we come into contact, including o

Do Not Fear, for I Have Redeemed You

Isaiah 43:1-7 In this wonderful passage, God declares His unchanging love for His people – even when they are in the midst of a time of apostasy and rebellion against Him. We see how the words of God’s promises and comfort to His people still apply to us in the church

Forgive, as God in Christ Has Forgiven You

Ephesians 4:32 God’s love and forgiveness to us are infinite. Thus, God requires our love and forgiveness toward each other also to be infinite. Because of what God has done in Christ, He gives us the ability to forgive each other without limit. Even Joseph and Steph
