Counting All Things Loss for Christ
The call to follow Jesus is a call to see him as more valuable than anything else. Why would anyone do such a thing? What is so special about Jesus? In this sermon, we look to answer to important questions. We look at the life of Paul and how he reordered the priorities of his life when he encountered the amazing person and work of Jesus. May God do the same in all those who look to Jesus.
Confidence in Christ
Who are God’s people? Are they his because of their ethnicity, actions, or beliefs? God’s people are those who have confidence in Christ. But what does that mean? How does one get this confidence? This sermon explores this theme that lies at the heart of the Christian life.
Joy in Christ
The Christian life should be a life of rejoice. In fact, we’re commanded to rejoice. The key to this command is to understand what it means to rejoice in the Lord or have joy in Christ. We’re bombarded by promises of joy through a variety of things. This sermon explores some of those offers of joy that are so temporary or lead us into danger. Then we consider joy in Christ and why that joy is a solid, eternal, unshakable…
Honoring Imitators of Christ
We’re commanded to honor men like Timothy and Epaphroditus. What is so special about them worthy of honoring? And how exactly do you honor people like them? We explore these questions as we consider this text.
Joy in Sacrificial Living
How do you have joy in suffering? How do you have joy in pouring yourself out for others? This sermon explores this topic and gives hope for joy in hard times. We look together at the apostle Paul and his joy in God. Then we are called to imitate and behold God as our great treasure and infinite joy. Nothing can keep us from joy when our joy is in the infinite, unchanging God!
