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
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
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 Our Neighbor
My sermon from 11/16/14AM entitled Loving Our Neighbor from Romans 13:8-14 is now online. Among other things, this sermon helped show some reasons why we should love our neighbor, especially as a people who are shaped by grace. My hope is that this sermon leads to persistent and diligent application from all who hear. I hope it encourages you, too.
Weekend Recap – Loving The State
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.
Weekend Recap – Strong In Grace
My 10/5/14AM sermon, Strong In Grace from Romans 11:11-32, is now online. This sermon teased out how God strengthens His church by grace. Specifically, that middle section highlighted how God calls us to humility as a response to His kindness. It’s difficult to talk about humility because we often don’t prize this as a virtue, but God has a different way of doing things than we might envision. I tweeted out this AM: “How are you demonstrating humility in what you text, post, and say today? (hint: try not using ALL CAPS as a start)”. If you don’t know using all caps online is like screaming. At any rate, it’s easy for me to be prideful in speaking of the pride in others, but often more difficult to recognize the pride in my own heart. Pray for me in this regard that I would model humility in my words and actions. Listen to this sermon and see if it encourages you. Blessings.
Weekend Recap – Religious Unbeliever
My 8/10/14AM sermon, Religious Unbeliever from Romans 9:1-5, is now online. This sermon sought to explain how relating to God by faith in Christ is the greatest pursuit of your life, even over and above any religious privilege. This is also the passage that many in Crestview will be studying as they review this sermon tonight in Small Groups (Romans 9:1-5 Talksheet). I’m hoping this sermon not only helps promote faith in Jesus, who is God over all and blessed forever, but fires your heart of love for unbelievers. Blessings.
Weekend Recap – Suffering To Glory
My 7/27/14AM sermon, Suffering to Glory from Romans 8:17-30 is now online. All around us we see that the most precious, most beautiful things come at a cost. It shouldn’t surprise us, therefore, that on the believer’s march to glory, we see suffering. This sermon was an attempt to give confidence and assurance to those who walk this path, that God may extend the grace needed for this journey to people through His Word. I hope it’s encouraging to you.
Weekend Recap – Peace With God
My 5/11/14AM sermon, Peace with God from Romans 5:1-11, is now online. The sermon sought to wrap up the big emphases of chapters 1-4, how we come under grace, and introduce chapters 5-8 with how we live in light of grace by helping everyone see some big implications of what being in a right relationship with God might mean for them. Specifically, I went after 4 implications for believers: 1) realities are affected, 2) God’s love is poured out in our lives, 3) we will be saved and 4) we’re full of joy. I hope it helps you and encourages you.
Weekend Recap – No Boasting
Boasting is such a sinister, sneaky thing in our lives. It seems like we’re merely drawing attention to something that we had a part in, but our motives for such a pursuit are often suspicious. My sermon on 4/27/14AM entitled Faith Alone: No Boasting from Romans 3:27-4:12 is now online. This sermon sought to show how being made right before God by faith alone should mean that we don’t boast in it as something we’ve done, but that we boast in the Lord. I hope this sermon encourages you in this regard and hope you had a blessed Lord’s Day.
