Preaching at Trinity

In this familiar passage we are tempted to read with little attention to the words. However, this section is vastly different from other sermons in that it carries a series of warnings. Each blessing and warning should leave us pondering and assessing our own discipleship.

As we study the name El Shaddai, we are drawn to a fuller understanding of the nature of Almighty God. The fullness of this name is only partially explained, and yet leaves us with a deeper knowledge and ability to recognize God’s workings in our life. It challenges us to examine our blessings and difficulties through the perspective of the Lord.

The name Jehovah highlights the self-existence of God and is the most used name for God in the Scriptures. It most often appears as Yahweh, or LORD and proclaims His eternal nature. Join us as we look at this eternal component and how it should be the foundation of our understanding of God.

Memorial Service for Larry Snapp.

We begin a new series this week as we study the names of God. We begin with the first name that God uses to reveal His perfections to mankind, and it teaches us that God is a God of relationship. He makes an oath to us, and He keeps that oath based upon His name.

Message from Hebrews on Spiritual Maturity

Walking with Jesus changes us. It transformed the disciples' lives in three short years, forming them into apostles who turned the world upside down. The question you need to ask is, How is walking with Jesus changing you?

In this conclusion of the series on 2 Thessalonians, we find encouragement and challenge from Paul. We are challenged to be faithful to our Faithful Lord. In being faithful, we must be doers of the Word, as well as challenge the idle to be doers. Be challenged and encouraged by the Word of the Lord.

In this incredible passage, Jesus exposes the deadness of religion and also demonstrates His authority and power to free people from the perils of sin and this world. Be challenged to examine your own life and the distracting markers of religion that you also place in your own path and find freedom in Christ to reach the souls of those around you with the power of the Gospel, rather than the demand of dead religion.

The faithfulness of God shown in 2 Thessalonians chapter 3.

Continuation on our Evening sermon series from the Book of Luke.

God freely offers us salvation. His salvation extends far beyond our current life and transforms us eternally. Believers must remember the full impact of salvation on our lives. The truth of salvation is what Paul encourages the Thessalonians to recall as they resist false teaching and persecution.

Continuation of our series from the book of Luke.

False doctrine can sometimes be confusing and hard to recognize. Paul addresses this with the Thessalonian church, which was confused about the coming of the Lord. He corrects their thinking and urges them to develop their faith and ability to recognize poor doctrine. We, too, are challenged to develop our discernment and live in anticipation of Christ’s exaltation.

Paul is writing to encourage the church of Thessalonica. At first, this passage doesn't appear to be encouraging as it discusses judgment. However, as we ponder these truths, they are incredibly comforting because God’s justice is right, holy, and loving. As recipients of grace, we have nothing to fear. Those not experiencing God’s grace have everything to fear.

The events of Luke 5:17-26 are a familiar account of Jesus’ healing power. However, the main message of this passage is more about faith and forgiveness than physical healing. Everyone in the crowd is challenged to respond correctly to the truth of the Son of Man. However, not everyone responds with the correct fear. How do you respond to the power of Jesus?

We begin a new study as we examine 2 Thessalonians. This is one of the first letters written to a church suffering persecution. Paul is encouraged by their grace and faith and challenges them to continue in their faithfulness.

Jesus heals a despicable man, corrupted with a horrible disease. In this passage, we see the tender compassion of the Lord, but also His power to purify, which goes much deeper than just the skin.

In this closing section of Daniel, we are once again presented with the fact that God is Sovereign. He is in complete control of history and is the author of history. With this truth in mind, we will see how it relates to our complicated and troublesome lives.
