The Word of Life Appeared to Us

1 John 1-4The Word of Life Appeared to Us I invite you to turn with me to 1 John, verses 1-4. Today we are beginning a new sermon series on the little books of 1, 2, and 3 John. Our focus is going to be on the Christian life. We want to consider how true Christians are manifested by what they believe and how they relate to one another in the world, and by how they live. We want to show how the Christian life is the outworking of the Triune life of God in us and is the expression of our being adopted as children into the very household of God. The letters of John not only give us a glimpse of what church life was like at the end of the first century. They not only give us an insight into some of the struggles that were experienced by local churches in Asia Minor, maybe right around Ephesus…

The Christian and Trails

James 1:2-18The Christian and Trials “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position,…

The Joy of Stewardship

Matthew 25:14-30The Joy of Stewardship O, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good. His steadfast love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from trouble. Let us worship God. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light, O God, and this is all of Your doing, all of Your grace, and we have been called out of the world and into your kingdom by Your grace. A way into your presence has been provided by Your grace. You have united us savingly to the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, by grace. In Your grace you have given Your Son as the atonement for our sins, and so we come this day to worship You. Grant that we would remember afresh the glory and the majesty of Your grace as well as remembering that You are the creator of all. You own the cattle on…

Justification By Faith Means the Ability to Rejoice in…

Justification by Faith Means the Ability to Rejoice in Sufferings Romans 5:3-5 If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 5 as we continue through this great book together. In Romans, chapter 1 and 2, Paul explains to us what our predicament is. What the big problem is. In Romans, chapter 3, he tells us the glorious news of what God has done to resolve our predicament. He gives His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and He also announces to us in Romans 3 that if we…
