Faith in the Giving God
While certainly there is much written about Daniel that is there for us to emulate, but more than that, the book of Daniel is about God. Here we see that God is a giving God. He controls kingdom, grace, and wisdom and grants it to whom he wishes. Let us resolve to trust and live for this great God! How will you live knowing that you’ll stand before the king of the universe one day?
A Life of Thanksgiving
Luther said that gratitude is the most basic Christian attitude. Christians, of all people, should be thankful all the time. Here we have a reminder why. We look at the past, present, and future for reasons why we should be grateful in every and any circumstance.
A Life of Prayer
** Note: The last half of the recording has no video but audio was recorded. What is the proper motivation so that we pray without ceasing? It is this question that we explore as we consider the text “pray without ceasing.” Thankfully, God’s word not only gives us commands but God gives us proper motivation so that we obey from the heart and not just with externals. May his word encourage us to pray as we ought.
A Life of Rejoicing
It is God’s will for you to have a heart-bursting, life-giving joy! God desires your gladness! In this sermon we see how we called to have joy in all circumstances. The Thessalonians Christians were suffering intense persecution from all groups of people in their area. Yet in the midst of such affliction, they were filled with joy! How is this possible? We look at three times joy is mentioned in this letter and what produced that great joy.
Knowing the Love of Christ
Do you want to be filled with the fullness of God? The path for this fullness is having the strength to comprehend the love of Christ. In this sermon, Pastor Tim considers the reason why knowing the love of Christ is so powerfully life giving and then considers 4 aspects of Christ’s love from Ephesians. May God use this portion of Scripture to help you see Christ’s love.
A Call to Prayer
This is the first part of a series on spiritual revival. Many seek to define the greatest deficiency of the church and what we must do to bring renewal and health to God’s people today. What we see in the Scripture is a call to prayer. The prayers of Scripture are not for health, wealth, or prosperity. The prayers of Scripture are most often about knowing God. And so, if we desire renewal, if we have grown cold or dry,…
A Prayer for You
The final words in the book of Hebrews contains a prayer that points us to our priorities today.
Pray for Your Leaders
Christian leaders need your prayer. This sermon explores why and what to pray for.
Obey Your Leaders
A command to obey your leaders sounds so bad! Abuse! Oppression! Yet, consider the goodness of God-ordained leadership when it happens according to God’s design. See why you want this kind of leadership in your life! Rather than a joyless servitude, leadership roles in God’s economy are for our joy and advantage. Consider true leadership and obedience from Hebrews 13:17.
Three Keys to the Christian Life
Christians heroes, looking forward to the heavenly city, and worshiping our great God are three ways we are called to live the Christian life.
Be Content With What You Have
We think prosperity will bring contentment. But contentment proves more difficult with prosperity! In this sermon, we examine why that is and how we can be content in all things. We’ll ask why contentment is difficult, what does it look like to be content, and finally, how do you do it. Only through the strength of Christ and the glories of God can we be truly content in any and every circumstance.
Family and Church
The church is the family or household of God. What does this mean for our homes and how we function as a church? From Ephesians 2 we see five key things about the church and home. We must be Word-centered; Christ-centered; united; holy; and encouraged because God is building his church for his glory.
