Description: This sermon covers the introduction to Paul’s apostolic prayer for the Ephesian believers. Paul’s reasons for praying for the Ephesians are found in chapter two of the epistle as Paul teaches about the unity of Christ’s church. Paul now prays that the Ephesians understand these great truths. Many of these truths are ones that Paul struggled in understanding until confronted by the resurrected Lord. We will answer the following questions in this message:
Description: To be armed with the mind of Christ is to be equipped with the most powerful weapon available to Christians. With the right attitude toward sin a Christian will prevail until the end.
Description: Jesus paved the streets in Heaven with gold. The Native Americans signed a treaty that they thought would provide them with hats made of gold. Only one of these reports is true. The homeless are often disappointed that nothing seems to go their way.
Description: God has a plan that is as eternal and perfect as He is. Understanding that God is in control should provide us with a boldness and confidence in approaching God and dealing with the circumstances of life.
Description: All through the New Testament from the time of the Ascension onward, the one assurance is that Christ is living; and in His life we live, hold fellowship with God, receive grace for daily living and rejoice in victory over sin, sorrow and death. Our message today is a reassuring message of hope, trust and belief in the Risen Lord.
Description: In this changing world we often get caught up in the fuss and worry of each day. God has offered us the gift of contentment yet few Christians enjoy this blessed position. This message will seek to expand our understanding of contentment and how to obtain it.
Description: Here is the true doctrine of the Atonement as taught in scripture: Christ died, the Substitute for sinners, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.
Description: The life of Paul the Apostle may be one of the greatest examples of the efficacy of God’s grace. Born Saul of Tarsus, Paul would never in a million years have guessed that he would become an Apostle — hand-selected by Jesus Christ to minister to the Gentiles. In fact, he spent his younger years trying to destroy and stamp out the church in its infancy. But God’s grace was given to him and made him a minister of the unfathomable riches found in Christ to the Gentiles. Paul also shows us a glimpse into the sovereign purposes behind the church and that is to declare the Lord’s manifold wisdom to the angels. This is simply an amazing and rich passage of Scripture that deserves our full attention.
Description: God has given us many ways to communicate His love to the unsaved world around us. Todays message gives some interesting stories and examples of both successful and unsuccessful communication.
Description: No words of Scripture “… hold within themselves a deeper mystery than this simple formula of the Christian life, ‘in Christ‘” (J. Gordon). This message takes a quick look at the believers’ faith and walk in Christ. Our challenge remains to reproduce in our lives the righteousness which is already ours in Christ.
Description: The difference between having faith in faith and faith in Jesus Christ is the difference between day and night, Heaven and Hell. The topic is clearly presented in God’s Holy Word and we are attempting to increase both our understanding of faith and increase our faith by way of this message.
Description: The Apostle Peter, in 1 Peter 3:13-17, tells his readers that they should not fear men and any suffering they might encounter. Quoting Isaiah 8:11-13, Peter writes that they should have a reverence for Jesus and be always ready to tell others why they have hope.
Description: Paul reveals a mystery that was made known to him that the Gentiles would hold the same status and be fused together with the Jews in a new people called the church. This was a hard message for the Jews to hear. This was a mystery that was not previously revealed to the OT Prophets and was far greater than the Proselyte structure that had existed in ancient Israel. In this new covenant, the Gentiles would be fellow-heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promises found in Christ Jesus.
Description: The Apostle Peter tells us that the best way to dispose people to speak well of you, and live peaceably with you, will be found in these three verses quoted from Psalm 34:12-16.
Description: The idea of man’s stewardship goes back to the Garden of Eden. The believer is not just a recipient of God’s grace but has been called as a steward of that grace. Stewardship to the Christian is not a concept focused on tithing but on all aspects of the Christian’s walk.
Description: We have not a complete understanding of the sinfullness of sin. This lack of knowledge keeps people from coming to Christ because they have no real awareness that they need a Savior.
Description: The Apostle concludes his teaching on submission with these two verses [3:8-9]. Whether it’s being in submission to every human authority, servants to a master, or even husbands and wives submitting to one another, we follow the example left for us by Jesus — we follow in His steps. Why? To inherit a blessing.
Description:God has not hidden Himself from mankind. He reveals Himself to any sincere seeker and does it in several interesting and undeniable ways. This message will try to remove the questions and doubts of people who are considering getting to know God.
Description: Jacob DeShazer of Salem Oregon took part in World War II’s legendary Doolittle Raid, endured more than three years as a Japanese prisoner of war and later teemed up with his wife to serve as a Methodist missionary in Japan for nearly thirty years.
