October 29, 2017 Soli Deo Gloria – The Glory of God Alone We are in our fifth and sadly final week of remembering and celebrating the Protestant Reformation. But it’s not just a historical movement called a Reformation. If we’ve only seen this as a study of Middle Ages, European church history, then we’ve […]
FIVE SOLAS (Sola Fide)
October 22, 2017 What must a person do to be right before God? You see, most people in their heart of hearts know two things: first, there is a God, and second, we will one day give an account to Him. So, what must a person do to be right when they stand before […]
FIVE SOLAS (Sola Gratia)
October 15, 2017 The word purgatory comes from the Latin purgare, from which we get our word purge. Purgare simply means to purge or purify. In Roman Catholic doctrine, purgatory is the place where the souls of the dead are purified of remaining sins. Now, that begs the question, how is it the believer […]
FIVE SOLAS (Solus Christus)
October 8, 2017 I don’t have time for an attention-grabbing introduction this morning. You see, today we are talking about Christ Alone. And so, we could and perhaps should spend the rest of our lives on this topic. After all, Christ is the central figure of Scripture. And so, I struggled all week contemplating […]
FIVE SOLAS (Sola Scriptura)
October 1, 2017 You’ve been hearing a about it recently, and you’ll hear more in the weeks to come. On October 31, 1517, a thirty-three year old Augustinian monk named Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Actually written in Latin, it was an invitation to his […]
MARK 14:66-72
September 10, 2017 So, how are you doing? No, I don’t mean today – Sundays are kind of like spiritual pep rallies, right? We gather in the gym and the cheerleaders – that’s the worship team – they lead us in some cheers. 2-4-6-8, who do we appreciate – Jesus. A principal stands up […]
MARK 14:53-65
September 3, 2017 A miscarriage of justice is defined as “a failure of a court or judicial system to attain the ends of justice, especially one that results in the conviction of an innocent person.” Or, I would add, lack of conviction of a guilty person. It seems to be the basis for much […]
MARK 14:43-52
August 27, 2017 Every year, the US publishes a list of the most popular children’s names for the previous year. So, for example, in 2016, the most popular girl’s name was – anybody want to guess? Sophia. The most popular boy’s name was, guesses? Jackson. As I read through the top 100 names, while […]
MARK 14:32-42
August 20, 2017 We’re going to begin this morning with some participation. I’m going to put a sentence on the screen – subject and verb. The verb, as you may remember from school expresses action. I’ll give you an example – here’s the sentence – Jesus taught. So the subject is Jesus and the […]
MARK 14:26-31
August 13, 2017 From the very beginning, Jesus promised His followers would suffer. Severe persecution, even martyrdom. For example, in His first recorded sermon (Matthew 5), Jesus said, “Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you […]
