Pleading with God – Matthew 15:21-28

Three Truths of the Cross

I pay no direct attention to the world of rap singers or any of the modern music culture. But every once in a while one of them comes up on the news, either being killed or arrested for murder. And also periodically, in a movie I’m watching, an entertainer is one of...

Christ the Door 

If you have a computer, and if you use email, then from time to time you get spam advertisements.  I got one of those, trying to entice me to buy someone’s specialty mats to put at our front door.  Their gimmick was in the interesting logo’s printed on them.  The...

Faith the Only Route to Salvation – Romans 4:23-5:2

Katapult to God’s Blessings – Ephesians 3:14-21

I’ve given this message the title: “Katapult to God’s Blessings,” spelling the word catapult with a “k” not a “c.” I want to give you that up front, to create a little curiosity. But you will have to wait for my explanation. I hope that you are yearning for God’s...

Jesus’ Friend, Judas – Matthew 26:47-50

Our title this morning is – “Jesus’ Friend, Judas” – taking, as our text, Christ’s words in verse 50 – “Friend, wherefore are thou come?” You might think, somewhat incorrectly, that this is more about Judas than the Lord Jesus. Let me assure you that this is about our...

A Different Use of the Gospel – I Corinthians 15:1-4

People who attend our church only on Sunday mornings may grow tired of what they hear week after week. At this hour each Lord’s Day, I endeavor to share a message relating to Christ and the Gospel. I try to make each sermon a little different, but there are only a...

Addicted, but not Ashamed – Philippians 1:21

The title of this message is: “Addicted, but not Ashamed.” The word “addicted” is found once in our King James Bibles in I Corinthians 16:15. Speaking of a particular church family, Paul says, “ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and...
