"Achieving Greatness" - CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio - 03172019


This Sunday morning, we talked about achieving greatness in the eyes of God.  In Luke 9:46-50 we come across an argument that the disciples were having amongst themselves.  They were trying to figure out which one of them would rank the highest when the kingdom of God came upon the earth.  Of course, Christ is the greatest and any attempt to put one’s self above Him is futile.  Yet, Jesus did tell us how we can be considered “great.”  In our text we found that true and genuine greatness, according to Christ, involves three things: (1) Humility, (2) A love for the needy, and (3) team work.

"Have Faith in God" CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio 03102019


Sunday morning, we continued through the 9th chapter of the Gospel of Luke.  We talked about Jesus casting the demon out of a father’s only son/child.  I pointed out to my congregation that all of us face hardships in life yet we are not alone; we have Jesus and His followers to rely on.  BUT, sometimes, Christians do more harm than good. In the end of it, we need to place all our trust in Jesus Christ.  Trust in the Lord today!

"The Transfiguration of Jesus" - CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio 03032019


Sunday morning, I preached about the Transfiguration of Jesus.  This was a very heavy sermon from a theological perspective, yet I ended it with one basic point of application: We all need to open our hearts and minds so that we can see the glory of Christ.  Often, we are distracted from the works of God taking place all around us.  To frequently we focus on the chaos which surrounds our lives and are blind to God’s glory. Stop what you are doing and focus yourself on the work of the Lord.  Put your full trust in Him.

"What is Truth?" - CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio - 02242019 (Evening Service)

On Sunday nights I have been preaching a follow up sermon to the theme of our Sunday School lesson from earlier in the day.  Sunday morning, we talked about being deceived by false teachings.  John the Apostle has a lot to say about this subject.  His first epistle (1 John) focused quite a bit on combating the false teaching of false prophets.  In 1 John 4:1-6, the Apostle tells us how to combat the false teachings we face?  He tells us to test every teaching (to see if it is from God) and to resist the temptation to fall prey to these false doctrines.

"Following Jesus" - CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio - 02242019


Sunday morning, I preached about following Jesus.  It is easy to say we “follow Christ” but what exactly does it mean to follow Him?  In Luke 9:23-27 Jesus gives the perfect “job description” to anyone who wishes to follow Him.  In the first half of my text, Jesus gave three conditions for following Him (verse 23).  Those who wish to come after Christ (follow Jesus) must deny themselves, commit to following Christ to the point of death and continually follow Him on a regular basis.  Then Jesus explains (verses 24-27) that as His followers, we need to look heavenward for our reward; as opposed to seeking our reward upon this earth.  The Christian’s reward is in heaven, so follow Jesus while you are upon this earth.

Sunday morning, we attempted to identify Jesus.  I talked to my congregation about how people, through out the past 2000 years, have misidentified Christ.  As Christians, it is our number one Job to tell others about Who Jesus Is!  He is the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.  AND, most importantly, He is the Savior of all the world.  If you turn your complete trust over to Him then you will be saved!
