Tear Down Your High Places

Tear Down Your High Places

You’re making progress. Good. But there is some issue in your life that you haven’t addressed – some issue that you have been unwilling to deal with. Some sin that you’re letting hang on.

In Judah, there were a number of good kings. But even the good kings did not take down the “high places” of idolatry. They kept them up. And God held that decision against them. They went so far in their reforms, but they did not go all the way. Click to learn more in this sermon from 2 Kings.

Consider The Source: Who Are You Listening To?

Consider The Source: Who Are You Listening To?

Everyone is someone’s disciple. Someone is teaching you. Someone is attempting to remake you in their image. The question is: who? As a Christian, you need to consider the sources that are instructing you and your children (from church to the media to schooling). Not everyone can be right about the big questions in life, and some sources are outright wrong and depraved. Click to listen to this relevant sermon from Colossians 2.

The Reformation: I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel

The Reformation: I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel

Don’t do it. Don’t water down the Gospel. Don’t pander to sinners. Don’t appease goats and starve sheep. Don’t let people die on your watch. Tell people the truth!

The Renewal Of The Futile Mind

The Renewal Of The Futile Mind

The human mind is capable of great things! It is better than any computer; impressive in its ways. However, it is also riddled by sin. It forgets. It is selective in what it believes. It desperately needs to be “renewed.” Click to listen to this sermon from Romans 12.

Pandemics & Hurricanes: The Groaning Of Creation

Pandemics, hurricanes, earthquakes – these things SCREAM at us that the world is BROKEN. But why is that? And if it’s broken, how did it happen, and when will it be fixed? Click for this encouraging sermon from Romans 8.

The Stoning Of Stephen

The Stoning Of Stephen

Stephen told people the truth. And they killed him for it. The story of Stephen (in Acts 7) is typical in Scripture – a faithful man tells people the truth, and they respond by killing him. But why? Why this ferocity? Why this anger? What did Stephen say that made them stone this gentle, loving man? Click to learn more.

The Thoughts That You Think (Phillippians, Wk. 9)

The Thoughts That You Think (Phillippians, Wk. 9)

What do you tend to think about? Do you think good thoughts, or bad ones? Do you focus on good things, or bad things? The focus of your thoughts will direct your future. That is the Apostle Paul’s warning in today’s text in Philippians 4.

Stand Fast In The Lord (Philippians, Wk. 8)

Stand Fast In The Lord (Philippians, Wk. 8)
