"On the Job Training" - MORNING SERVICE 01272019

We began the 9th chapter of the gospel of Luke by looking at the story of Jesus sending His twelve disciples out on their own for the first time.  There is a lot Christians today can learn from this event.  Followers of Christ are equipped to serve God through the Holy Spirit.  We are instructed in our service of the Lord through God’s Word.  And we need to trust and obey God’s calling for us to serve Him. Can you honestly say that you trust and obey God today?

"The True Power" - MORNING SERVICE 01132019

Yesterday we finally finished Luke 8.  We took a look at two miracles that Jesus performed in quick succession; the healing of a bleeding woman and the rising from the dead a twelve-year-old girl.  In reading through these two miraculous events, we can find three examples of “power.”  First ,we found that man’s power was useless.  On our own we are powerless.  BUT, with Christ, we can do all things; which was the second power we found in the text.  The power of Jesus is found in the miracles He performed but, also and most importantly, in the salvation He offered all mankind.  The third “power” we discussed yesterday morning was the power of faith.  It is our faith, belief, or trust in Jesus saving work which gets us into heaven; nothing more and nothing less.  Turn to Jesus today with whatever you have going on in your life!  AND REMEMBER: He loves you!

"True Worship" - EVENING SERVICE 01062019

On Sunday Evenings my sermon text comes from the theme of our Sunday School lesson from earlier in the day.  Yesterday morning we finished the unit titled “The Full Picture of Christmas”; which focused on different individuals or groups of people within the Christmas story.  Yesterday we looked at the wisemen and how they worshiped Jesus.  In continuing in the theme of worship, I decided to study through a good portion of the 4^th chapter of John and the story of Jesus’ interaction with the Samaritan Woman at Jacob’s Well.  During this divine interaction, we learn a lot about proper worship of our Lord.

"The Miracles of Christ" - MORNING SERVICE 01062019

Yesterday we returned to the Gospel of Luke.  We looked at the story of Jesus casting out the many demons of a demonic man who lived amongst the tombs.  After Christ “cured” the man, we found two completely different reactions to the miraculous power of Christ.  The first was one of fear and rejection.  The people of the area completely rejected what took place (and Jesus) because of fear.  The second reaction was one of faith and obedience.  The formally possessed man wanted to leave with Jesus but Christ told him to stay and tell those around him about what took place; which is what he did.  My question for you is “What is your reaction to the miracles of Christ?”  One of fear and rejection or one of faith and obedience? Choose Jesus today.

"The Coming Messiah" - EVENING SERVICE 12232018

This Sunday evening, we focused on Micah 5:2, “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel.  His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity.”  I find it amazing that this passage of scripture was written hundreds of years before Christ yet there is so much in it that applies to us today.  Of course, the most important part, is that the long awaited for Messiah has been born to us.  Praise God!

"The Word Among Us" - MORNING SERVICE 12232018

This Sunday morning we took a break from the gospel of Luke to talk about the Christmas story.  I preached from John 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”  Now, to be honest, when we think about Christmas this is not a verse that often comes to mind.  BUT, in reality, this verse sums up the entire Christmas story.  Jesus, the Word, came to earth, dwelt among mankind and put the glory of God on display for all to see.  This is what we celebrate, every year, at Christmas.  God’s ultimate plan to save all the earth began when Jesus was born; our redemption began on Christmas day.  Make that the reason for the season!

"Facing the Storms of Life" - MORNING SERVICE 12162018

Sunday morning we looked at the story, according to Luke, of Jesus calming the storm.  I pointed out that all of us face hardships or “storms” in life.  You are only fooling yourself if you think your life is burden free; we all face trials.  BUT, we do not have to face them alone; Jesus can face them with us!  In my text (Luke 8:22-25) Jesus asked the question, to His disciples, “Where is your faith?”  So that is my question to you; when you face difficulties in life, where is your faith?  Do you put your full trust in Jesus Christ?  Or do you put your faith in any number of other things?  My hope is that you trust Jesus with all your heart!
