My 1/19/14AM sermon, Why Romans?, is now online. My summary of the book is: the glory of God in a united church on mission under grace. Today, I unpacked how the Gospel is found in Romans and that it’s found to encourage partnership in mission as well as peace among the church’s people. I hope it was helpful for our body as we started this study.

My 12/15/13AM sermon, In the Fullness of Time, from Galatians 4:4-5 is now online. We had a great morning singing songs of our Savior’s coming to save, Children serving the congregation by presenting the Song of the Stars musical and lots of energy. My sermon got at how God sent His Son to redeem and adopt sinful humanity. I hope it served everyone well.
Hope you had a great Sunday, too.

My 12/1/13AM sermon, Come Lord Jesus, from Revelation 22:10-21 wrapped up our church’s formal verse by verse exposition of the book of Revelation. It was a sweet providence that this final message fell on the first Sunday of Advent. I hope this sermon was helpful for the people in engaging with the amazing reality of Christ’s return and living accordingly.

My 11/3/13AM sermon, All Things New from Revelation 21:1-8, is now online. The sermon sought to unpack and give encouragement from the realities of the new creation that will fully and finally be realized in the lives of believers someday. I think there was a lot in this passage for unbelievers as well as pressing applications for believers to engage in.
Hope it’s encouraging and beneficial for you.

My 10/27/13AM sermon, Comforted by the Future from Revelation 20:1-15 is now online. In this sermon, I sought to give encouragement for perseverance based on the lessons we learn in this chapter on the millennial reign of Christ. I hope the prospect of future realities leads you to live in specific ways, too. We don’t know these things just to know them. We are blessed, in Revelation especially, as we read, hear and keep the things we read there. I sought to encourage the “keeping” of these things in this sermon. I hope it’s encouraging to you.

My 10/20/13AM sermon, Worship God!, from Revelation 19:1-21 is now online. This sermon was one that was personally convicting to me and yet very encouraging. The big idea is about worship. Consistently in this passage, Hallelujah is uttered (which literally means “Praise Yahweh”). All along the way, God is wanting us to quit focusing on the small, minute lives we have for the bigger realities He has for us through His work. I hope this sermon encourages you and that you have a great Lord’s Day.

My 10/13/13 sermon, Babylon’s Fall, from Revelation 18:1-24 is now online. While there’s much that could be made of this chapter, the applications I drew had to do with how to engage the fallen world in which believers are found. Because we have God’s future judgment of the world in mind, we can know how we live today.
So, I hope the sermon helps you (if you take time to engage with it) and hope you have had a great Lord’s Day.

My 10/6/13AM sermon, Sure Doom, from Revelation 17:1-18 is now online. The big idea I was after was showing how we are to live in light of the graphic picture presented as well as the sure doom of the world. God calls His followers to faithfulness, as they live for the Lamb until the very end. I hope this sermon encourages more of this kind of living.
And, I hope you had a great Lord’s Day, as well.

My sermon from 9/29/13AM is now online. It was entitled Promoting Gospel Work from Philippians 4:1-23. My aim was pretty simple: to offer some applications for how the Gospel works to transform believers from the inside out. While much of the book of Philippians showcases how the Gospel is at work and compelling us to live, chapter 4 really gets at some good outgrowths in our lives.
This was also a big morning as we launched the new Cross Cultural Missions direction of Crestview. You can read more on that at the CBCH2Go Blog.

My 9/22/13AM sermon, Reckless, from Philippians 3:1-21 is now online. This sermon sought to interact with Paul’s words in Philippians 3, compelling people that their best life isn’t so much in the here and now (Paul considered his life in his flesh as rubbish) but of the citizenship that is ours in heaven. Because Christ is better, we can live our lives with a loose hold, knowing that this stuff doesn’t matter. This sought to unpack a missions value entitled “Strategically Reckless.” They define it as: “We forsake our security and comforts in this life to fulfill the Great Commission and to seek our everlasting joy in Christ.” I hope this sermon helps you live this way.
