You probably thought Easter was over last Sunday. I have an announcement. As believers in Jesus and His death, burial, and resurrection, Easter is never really behind us. Easter is always before us.

I have been studying questions that appear in the Easter narratives of the Gospels. For example, Pilate asked Jesus, “What is truth?” Jesus asked this poignant and emotional question, “My God, My God, why have you abandoned Me?” These questions are...

Our text today is Matthew 27:45-54. The trial of Jesus has been completed and now Matthew tells us that Jesus is hanging on the cross. All total, the Gospels give us 7 distinct saying of the cross from Jesus. Our text gives us one of those seven and...

Jesus is standing trial before Pilate. Pilate is not a Jew. Jesus has been brought to him by the Jews. Pilate is an official of the Romans. Pilate doesn’t know what to do with Jesus, but he doesn’t know what to do with the Jews either. In this...

Our text today is John 18. Jesus is standing trial before Pilate. Pilate is not a Jew. Jesus has been brought to him by the Jews. Pilate is an official of the Romans. Pilate has already had a brief conversation with Jesus’ accusers. Our text today is...

Our text today comes from Luke 22. You could also read the same story in Matthew 20 and Mark 10. I will explain why in just a moment, but let’s put the text in front of us now as we explore this Easter question: “Who is the greatest?”

As we journey toward Easter this year, we are going to pursue what I would call the ultimate “So What” preaching series. We will be considering several questions surrounding the Easter accounts in the Bible. Some of the questions come from Jesus...

The Tolerance of Sin and the Absence of Worship Leviticus 16:1-2 Administrative Pastor Ray Swift “The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron’s sons when they approached the presence of the Lord. The Lord said to Moses: ‘Tell your...

For a couple of weeks now we have been thinking about things that we face. We have talked about our future, our fears, and our sin. Today, I want us to think about our forever. We all face forever.

For a couple of weeks now we have been thinking about things that we face. We have talked about our future and our fears. Today,I want to talk about “facing our sin.” Our text is Romans 6. The author is the Apostle Paul. Talk about facing his sin...

What will we face in 2018? We don’t know. But what about what we do know? It is one thing to fear the unknown, but something else to know what you fear and be paralyzed by that fear.

There’s got to be a better way to all of our fears and worry. In this one verse of Isaiah, I see a better way. It’s a good verse to hang our hearts and hopes on as we move from one year to the next.

In our text today, we have one obvious reference to “guard” but four other references that are just as important. I want to show you these five places to guard. Our ability to guard these five areas may well determine the way 2018 goes for us.

We have considered so far the themes of hope, peace, and joy. Today, we consider love. But, not just any kind of love. God’s love. Christmas is a message of God’s love for us.

This year at Christmas we are on a journey to Activate Advent. We have considered so far the themes of hope and peace. Today, we consider joy. Christmas—the celebration of the coming of Christ into our world ought to bring about unparalleled joy in...

We long for peace—peace with our past, peace with others, and ultimately with God. Isaiah prophesied the Messiah to be the Prince of Peace. The angels sang of peace. Jesus declared that “in Him” was peace. Jesus offered a greeting of peace to the one...

This year at Christmas we are on a journey to Activate Advent. We begin with the word “hope.” What is hope? At the root of Christmas is hope. When the prophets of the Old Testament prophesied the coming of Messiah, they did so with hope

Today’s message concerns preaching the Gospel to all the nations. Specifically, I want to end our series on prayer with the reminder that we must be praying for the Gospel to be made known to the nations.

I want to share with you today about a subject that hits at the heart of where so many of us live—“How to Pray for Our Children?” (Or Grandchildren, or nephews, or nieces, or children next door.) I think all of us can benefit today from this lesson on...

Knowledge is not the key to a deeper, more disciplined prayer life. A new plan is not the key. The key is solely in our own discipline. The Old Testament prophet, Daniel, is obviously a model of someone disciplined in his prayer life.
