Sermons from January 2019
Living Worthy of the Gospel
In times of trial, what is our highest priority? This passage calls us to live worthy for the gospel, giving us what that means and how we might achieve such a lofty goal. In the first chapter of Philippians there is one command given to the church. Live worthy of the gospel. But with this command we have wonderful gifts from God that achieve in us that which he demands!
Dead or Alive I’m Living for Christ
The phrase “To live is Christ, to die is gain” may be familiar but do we know what it means? Would that be a true description of you? This sermon presses us with the weight of this text and gives us the proper motivation to give all for the Lord Jesus, whether in good times or bad, living or dying. May you have joy as you live for Christ.
Adversity and the Gospel Advance
Christians leaders in prison for preaching about Jesus?!? It happens now and it happened then. What affect does this have on the advancing gospel? What should we learn from this? In this sermon we look at important text that shows us that government opposition is an opportunity to advance the gospel but it is not a guarantee that the gospel will be advanced. It is a call for us to learn boldness, be properly motivated, and love Christ and others…
Abounding Love
The greatest of virtues is love. But understanding what love is and how we are to grow in it can be confusing in our world of counterfeits. True love is examined here as well as what comes part and parcel with it.
