Anarchy in the Temple













This Sermon compares our Christian lives to a light house. It forces us to think about the total opposite nature of Black and White, sin and righteousness. We talk about how our world is struggling and becoming more foggy every day, and we all react to that fog of society in different ways. Both Paul and Jesus indicate that we are to be the light of the world even in the midst of a "crooked and depraved generation." How do we do that? What does it look like? How can we honestly inspect our lives and look for ways to improve the way that we are being the Temple of the Holy Spirit? Join us for this fun message and I pray that God will inspire you through the words that you hear.

The Day of Salvation


This sermon is an exciting venture as we compare our Christian lives to the Titanic. We like our luxury liner, but find out the only way to make it to the other port is to abandon our life and get on the life boat called "faith in Christ." This analogy is powerful and exciting as I draw in the responsibility of fathers to their children like unto Paul's sacrificial giving of himself to the early church.

Thriving

This message completes the thrive series. In it I ask the challenging question, "If attending church would leave us with a permanent flame sticking out of our head and an uncontrollable urge to speak with everyone about Jesus, would we still be here?"
This is the kind of faith that God wants to give us through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. It is time for us to displace fear of talking about religion with a zeal for Christ that looks like a drunken fervor. We need to abandon our religious reservations and stand up for Jesus like we have a flame burning on the top of our head.
