The Gospel: Of First Importance
This text defines the gospel. If the gospel is lost, perverted or corrupted then there is no biblical church nor can one be a Christian. This is the primary truth of the Bible, the church, and the Christian. In this sermon, a definition of the gospel is given then defended from the text. The gospel is the foundational Christian message, by which God’s people are being saved, that describes Christ’s death for our sins, his burial, and his historical, eye-witnessed…
Orderly Spiritual Gifts
The final thoughts on the longest discussion concerning charismatic gifts. The apostle Paul gives guidelines and warnings concerning the abuse of spiritual gifts. All things are to be done for building up in love.
The Person of Christ: Part 3
We continue working through what the Bible teaches about who Jesus is. It is overwhelmingly clear that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God. Every false religion gets Jesus wrong. See what the Bible teaches about who he is.
The Goal of the Gospel
From this amazing chapter in the Bible we see clearly the goal of the gospel and two great foundations upon which our evangelism rests.

The Person of Christ: Part 1
Who is Jesus? What does the Bible say about his humanity and diety? The Bible is clearer than you might think.
The Endurance of Love
This passage is typically a battleground for debating when the gift of tongues will cease. Will it be just after the apostolic age or will it be at the return of Christ. Dwelling on this battle can cause us to miss the important truth this passage teaches. We ought to long for love. Love will outlast any supernatural gift. Let us not be content with the appetizer of bread and butter but crave the main course–a face to face encounter…
Fathers, This Is Your Command
What does it mean to be a father and raise your children for the Lord? What does it mean not to provoke them to anger but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord? Is there practical ways to help? In this sermon, many practical suggestions are made on how we can fulfill this command. In all cases, we must never assume the gospel but keep it front and center as we bring up our children for…
