I Don’t Want Jesus!
August 29, 2006 – 1:39 pm
You’d be shocked to hear “Christians” say it, but given their ignorance of and apathy about the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, they may as well shout it from the rooftops.
While I Am Gone, Do What I Say
August 29, 2006 – 1:31 pm
As he approaches Jerusalem and the crowds anticipate immediate glorification, Jesus stops to correct their timeline. He focuses them and us who live in the delay between His first and second coming on believing Him and His gospel, and giving our whole lives to profitable service. Luke 19:11-28
Justified By Faith Alone
August 28, 2006 – 9:20 am
Called the doctrine on which the Church stands or falls, justification by faith alone is vital to a right understanding of God’s holiness, man’s sinfulness, and the work of Jesus. Get this one wrong, and you will condemn yourself because you will go God to be judged in your own righteousness, and be condemned. Sermon […]
The Prodigal Son
August 27, 2006 – 6:00 pm
Many believe that repentance is a work of theirs. But Luke 15 reveals that only God in Christ can cause people to repent of their sin and turn to Him. This is the point of the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost sons. Luke 15
Down-Right Right-Wing Wing-Nuts
August 22, 2006 – 9:30 am
The common right is as bad as the common left as it worships the State and its leaders. The Bible does not teach that the United States’ military is Yahweh’s prophetic sword, an idea that has swept conservative Christian circles and denominations. Beware of shallow nationalism and also of blind obedience to the government in […]
The Five Books of Moses
August 22, 2006 – 9:08 am
More than one biblical scholar has urged people to attempt to read the Bible with “fresh eyes.” The problem is that it’s tough to do that. Everett Fox has scholars praising his translation of the first five books of Moses for its technical merits, but it really shines in its ability to display the “foreign-ness†[…]
Who Will Be in Heaven?
August 21, 2006 – 5:25 am
There is much speculation about who will be in heaven. But the Scriptures make it clear that outcasts will be in heaven. That is, those who hate this life and love Christ for what He has done for them will be in heaven. Sermon Text: Luke 14:1-35 OT Text: Isaiah 25
A Different Religion
August 14, 2006 – 4:57 pm
Beautiful, historic church buildings all across the United States and the world are homes to “liberal” Christianity. We’ll tell you why those buildings are really spiritual graveyards, and why what is believed and taught by the people in them is really not Christianity at all.
Repent and Believe before It’s Too Late
August 14, 2006 – 8:54 am
The time to repent and believe in Christ is now – to wait is to offer increasing resistance to Christ. OT Text: Isaiah 49:7-13 Semon Text: Luke 13:22-35
The Trinity
August 7, 2006 – 1:36 pm
The doctrine of the Trinity is the primary dividing line between Christianity and heresy, but almost no one cares about it. Why has the Church made such a fuss about something as impractical as this? Listen and learn the great value and benefit of knowing and believing in the Triune God. Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day […]
The Just Justifier
August 7, 2006 – 1:33 pm
If God is love, why did Jesus have to die? How is God honored in the doctrine of Faith Alone? Learn from Scripture how God would have us understand his work of redemption through Jesus Christ. See that his honor and righteousness are at stake in how he executed redemption to justify sinners. Sermon Text: […]
The Contradictory Power of Liberation
August 7, 2006 – 6:19 am
The controversy with the synagogue ruler and the healing of the sick woman provide an occasion for Jesus to demonstrate and preach about the contradictory power of liberation. Text: Luke 13:10-21
Stop Justifying Your Greed and Open Your Wallet
August 3, 2006 – 5:11 am
Part 2 of a two-part series on church plants and giving. Christians are tempted to be stingy in their financial support of the church. Church pastors are tempted to be greedy money-lovers. Our gratitude to Christ demands a different approach to money in the church. 1 Timothy 6:17-19 HC Q & A 86, 103, 111
Surprising Grace in the Macedonian Churches
August 3, 2006 – 5:07 am
Part 1 of a two-part series on church plants and giving. The apostle Paul writes to the Corinthian church, challenging them to imitate the unexpected financial generosity expressed by the believers in Thessalonica, Philippi, and Berea. 2 Corinthians 8 & 9

True Faith
August 1, 2006 – 6:08 am
Faith alone. The battlecry of the Reformation. But what does it mean? The slogan reveals the Biblical truth that sinners are saved not by any works, but by God’s mercy freely given to them, and received by them only by the instrument of faith. This sermon explains the four kinds of faith (historic, temporary, miracles, […]
You Are That Man
August 1, 2006 – 6:04 am
When God says, “there is no one righteous, not even one,†he means it. The judgment of God condemns every man who thinks himself good. But it is even worse. We are unable to do good because we hate God. We are depraved. It is not lack of knowledge of God’s will, but hatred for […]
