Above All Brothers, Give Your Children God, That They May Glorify Him

Luke 11:1-13
The aim of fatherhood must not succumb to mere right and successful living. Rather, in the stunning realization that our Heavenly Father gives Himself to us, fathering and Christian living must point to and enjoy life lived for the “hallowing of the Father’s name”.

People of the Cross

1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5
In 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5, Paul reminds the church at Corinth, which was living in a culture of hero-worship of the famous, influential, and powerful, that we are called to be people of the cross. The cross of Christ reveals God’s wisdom, which is salvation through Christ’s suffering and death, and releases the power of God to those who are called to follow in the way of the cross, which has the power to transform lives and enable us to live in the realm of God’s everlasting kingdom.

Resolved in 2014…

Philippians 3:12-14
As we enter 2014, we can do no better for our New Year’s resolutions than to follow the example of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:12-14, who resolved to leave the memories of failures and successes of the past; and to live in the present with a concentration on growth in godliness; and look to the future, with our eye on the prize of everlasting consequences and rewards, which will be given to all who persevere to the end.

Did You Miss Christmas?

John 1:14-18
In this sermon, we see that the true celebration of Christmas is centered on seeing the glory and receiving the grace of the incarnation of Christ. The glory of the incarnation is the miracle of God becoming a man, who was crucified and risen to be our Savior. We receive his grace by receiving Christ as Lord and Savior, who gives us grace for life now and forevermore in Glory.

Broken Cisterns That Can Hold No Water

Jeremiah 2:1-13
As we peer into the life and times of Jeremiah, we discover that Judah’s struggles with sin are not far off from our own today in the church. It is crucially important for us as Christians to discern our hearts to know what lures us to forsake God, the fountain of living waters, and to dig out cisterns for ourselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

The Prophet

Deuteronomy 18:15-19
When Moses knew his time on earth was drawing to a close, he prophesied the coming of a prophet who would speak God’s words to His people–one we must heed. As usual, God does more than we expect. He doesn’t just send a prophet, He sends His Son. Jesus not only speaks God’s words, but shows us how we should heed–obey–God. He also makes provision for us before He leaves earth, just like Moses did, so that we would not be left alone again.
