Weekend Recap – Gospel Partnership

by

My 12/28/14AM sermon, Gospel Partnership from Romans 15:25-33, is now online.  In this sermon, I sought to unpack what Paul was saying when he showed how Gospel motives inform meeting social needs and engaging in prayer.  There are ways Christians resist both of these, so I tried to engage those (unspoken) thoughts as well.  I hope it’s helpful for you living out what you believe.

Weekend Recap – Gospel Propulsion

by

My 12/14/14AM sermon, Gospel Propulsion from Romans 15:14-24 is now online.  In this sermon, I try to unpack God’s heart for His people, which emerges as grace moves in to propel us to action, as we serve the world and engage the unreached in our world.  I mentioned that if someone wants more info on the unreached, they should check out IMB Global Research.  I hope this sermon helps you spread the good news of great joy for all peoples.

All Hands On Deck

by

I’m posting today over on our Church’s Missions Blog:

All hands on deck seems to be a cry used in times when all kinds of help is needed to accomplish something.  In our case, we have a value called Wholly Engaged, which we feel helps encapsulate our idea that all hands are needed for the work of global missions.  We are on a boat that is riding a tidal wave of God’s glory to the ends of the earth.  And, we need all hands on deck to contribute to this awesome campaign.  Where is your place?  What work could you do?  How glorious would your work help God’s great cause?  Today, answer the call for all hands on deck as we display God’s glory throughout the world.

Weekend Recap – Gospel Unity

by

My 12/7/14AM sermon, Gospel Unity from Romans 15:1-13 is now online.  In this sermon, I try to unpack the foundation for unity that’s given in this passage, specifically honing in on not seeking to please ourselves but submitting to Jesus’ Lordship.  My hope is that through this sermon, you’d be drawn away from yourself to radiate God’s glory with others.

Weekend Recap – Gospel Love

by

My 11/30/14AM sermon, Gospel Love from Romans 14:13-23, is now online.  The sermon sought to unpack the inward, upward, and outward calls of love to others.  We must consider our conscience, esteem God’s kingdom and live out our faith for love to have the grace shaped character it’s meant to have.  I hope this sermon helps nurture that in you.

Weekend Recap – Gospel Welcome

by

My 11/23/14AM sermon, Gospel Welcome, from Romans 14:1-12 is now online.  The sermon got into the big section of Romans 14-15 and how people relate in the church.  The big theme of this passage is that because God’s welcomed us, we ought to welcome others.  Specifically, because of who God is, Jesus being Lord and God being the final judge, we should stop quarreling over secondary matters.  I hope this sermon is an encouragement to you.

Weekend Recap – Loving The State

by

My 11/9/14 sermon, Loving the State from Romans 13:1-7, is now online.  This sermon, while very convicting, did attempt to chart a positive course on how Christians in this world relate to their government.  God has called on us to submit.  He’s called us to this because He’s the One who gives government its authority, He’s the One who’s given government its purpose and He’s the One calling citizens to live in an honorable way in society.  I hope this sermon helps you make progress as you live your faith in this world.
