All Sermons in Romans

Title: The Importance of Edification After a little over three years in the book of Romans, we have arrived at the beginning of the end.  Paul starts to draw the language of his largest contribution to the N.T. into a close, and over the next few weeks we will be looking closely at this final…

Title: By What Method? There is a lot of talk today about evangelism in the Church.  There is far more talk about evangelism than there actually is evangelism in practice.  One of the things that gets us muddied up is the actual discussion of how do you lead someone to Christ? There are several methods,…

Title: Paul, the Evangelical Strategist Val: How did you know it was time to go to College?  How did you pick A.U.?  How did you know that The World Race wasn’t going to work out?  How did you then decide to stay in Ashland and go to ATS? There is much talk in churches today…
