Sermon – February 28, 2010: Intervention

Have you seen the television series Intervention on A&E on Mondays at 9 pm? It is gripping and powerful television drama. But the truth is the concept of intervening to rescue folks from trouble is nothing new. God has been about the work of intervention almost from the beginning of time. Yet we have continued as [...]

Sunday, February 28, 2010 – Luke 13:31-35

At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” He said to them, “Go and tell that fox for me, ‘Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and [...]

Create in me a pure heart, O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10 
I heard this verse many years ago as I was contemplating giving my life to Jesus Christ as a Born Again Christian. At that time I did not believe that God’s mercy, forgiveness and love would clear away all past [...]

Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly [...]

I have been questioned before about why I work in Youth Ministries.  People I know from college who are doing very well for themselves (monetarily) say things like: “Why do you work with youth, I am sure it doesn’t pay well at all?”  Or “Come on Eric, you have a degree in Environmental Science Natural [...]

I have a dog named Cody.  He is a pretty good dog, except for when I call him in.  A lot of the time he would rather stay outside where he feels he has control of his own little world. So I have to go outside and try to chase him down.   After a time of chasing, [...]

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.  Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will [...]

2 Corinthians 5:20b-6:10
If we claim to believe the gospel but never demonstrate its effect in our lives, what good has it done? If we only live for ourselves rather than fulfill God’s purpose, then we have “received God’s grace in vain.” As the first part of  2 Corinthians 5:20 states, “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, [...]

Sermon – February 21, 2010: The Keys to Passing Every Test

Our text for Sunday is the recounting of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. Three times the devil tried to get Jesus to question his identity as the Son of God and to choose a different way. Three times Jesus rejected the offer by remembering and embracing both who he was and whose he was. We [...]
