The Lord’s Supper: Revisited

We return to look at the Lord’s Supper and its history. We see a weekly practice, a weekly meal which was marred by the perversion of outside influences and the darkness of the medieval church. NOTE: At the beginning of the video the dates referenced are 1955 but in actual fact they are 1555!

Living in View of Resurrection

Life would be meaningless if Christ was not raised from the dead. It is time that we wake up and live according to that reality. We have here a call to believe all of what Christ has done and all of who he is. Let us not be influenced or corrupted by the false ideas of our surroundings but rather transform our minds by the word of God.

The Trinity: Part 3

We finish the rest of the prologue of John’s gospel. We look at 9 characteristics or descriptions of the living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ and Our Resurrection

When we doubt in the assurance of our resurrection, where do we look? We look to Christ! In this text we see Christ as the firstfruits, guaranteeing the resurrection of all those in him. In this text we see Christ as the second Adam, reversing the effects of the fall and reversing the curse of death through resurrection. In this text we see Christ as the conquering King who will return and destroy all his enemies, including death.

The Trinity: Part 2

We take a detailed look at the first verse of John’s gospel. What we see clearly is that both heresy and contradiction are avoided by the precise use of language that helps us understand who God is and who Jesus is.

The Historical Resurrection

Though many see the resurrection as something absurd to believe the facts tell a much different story. In this sermon we see that the gospel witnesses are contemporary with the events they report. We see their stories corroborated by many other sources. We see the reliable transmission of their testimony and we recognize their lives sealed their testimony with blood. Christianity is an historical religion based on real historical events. What are you going to do with Jesus?

The Trinity: Part 1

After considering who Jesus is, fully God and fully man, we now must consider the doctrine of the Trinity. This first message lays the foundation for future building as we seek to understand God as he has revealed himself to us.

Gospel Work

Those who receive the gospel work hard to make the gospel known. It is a product of God’s grace that we are saved. It is also a product of God’s grace that we labor and strive for two great things: 1) holiness; and 2) making Christ known. May this text motivate us to strive for the sake of Christ and the gospel.

The Person of Christ: Part 4

The final sermon on the person of Jesus Christ. Our faith rests on the firm foundation of not only Christ’s work but on his character. Truly, he is the Son of God!
