Title: All Things Move Toward Their End Intro: Today’s passage is one that most of us are familiar with.  It is a sensational, detailed story of Jesus driving demons and the people’s response to these events.  If we take the time to look closely, I’m confident that some details will present themselves that will make…

Title: Aspects of Love Love Does not Envy 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 (ESV) 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant  5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;  6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with…

Title: The Rabbi’s Gospel Last week one of the ideas that I asked you to keep as a feather under your cap was this concept of just how Jewish Jesus was.  I explained that Jesus, as a Jew himself, reaching out to other Jews, was teaching in places and using methods that would be familiar…

Title: Aspects of Love We probably all recognize a boasting blowhard when we hear one.  Have you considered that boasting and arrogance can be more subtle than that? Pride is central to our selfishness. They walk hand in hand in our heart. Only a humiliating cross can destroy our pride. Let’s have a look together…

Title: “The Lord’s Supper” Intro:This morning I have prepared a short message (a sermonette, if you will) to explain the second sacrament that we, as Baptist regularly observe.  Just as last week when we looked at baptism, today I want to take a close look at the Lord’s Supper so that we, as a church…

Title: The One Sheep (Read verse 12) Now, I will admit, this may be a bit of an “alternative” take on verse 12, and it may even seem that I’m weaving my personal conviction and spin into this verse the way I’m about to explain it, but I want to tell you:  It’s actually just…

Title: Love is not Self Seeking Switchfoot, Meant to Live Fumbling his confidenceAnd wondering why the world has passed him byHoping that he’s bent for more than argumentsAnd failed attempts to fly We were meant to live for so much moreHave we lost ourselves?Somewhere we live inside Dreaming about ProvidenceAnd whether mice or men have second…

(Text and Audio) Title: The Calling v.18  “casting their nets into the sea; for they were fishermen”  Peter and Andrew were simply being who they were.  It was in their nature to cast nets into the sea, that is the life that they had known, and I’d be willing to bet that they did not…
