Christians value worshipping God. That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone but so often our lives reflect more the values of the world more than the value of worshipping God. In this sermon, we look at Revelaiton chapter 4 to show us what worship looks like in heaven so as to remind us what our daily rythm of worship should be as well. 

This sermon is about why Christians value God's grace. What is it? How does it work? How does it stay with us beyond a certain point? Christians are transformed by grace, but that transformation is on going. It is not just a one time event or experience. Ephesians 2:1-10 shows how God's grace began our transformation, continues and completes it. 

This is a sermon preached at First Presbyterian Church in Whitefish, MT. We often refer to Mark 11:1-11 when we celebrate "Palm Sunday". This passge contains the entery of Jesus to the Temple which, traditionally, starts "Holy Week" in the Church calendar. This sermon looks at the expectations of Jesus from the people and the reality that the King Jesus brings. 

Jesus is asked the question, "what is the greatest commandment in God's law?" He answers not with one commandment but with two. Why? The reason is because loving God and others cannot be seperated. We do not love others well when we do not love God, and the reverse is true as well. This is a sermon preached at First Presbyterian Church in Whitefish, Montana. 

Jesus gathers the disciples in a house to further explain to them the process of learning to die to self and live for the Kingdom. Jesus is discipling them, he is modeling what they are to do with others. He gives 5 aspects of which reorient the disciples understanding of becoming a follower of Jesus: postion, prestige, public and private life, and purpose.
