What is it the world hears you crying out that you care about most? What was it for the Apostle Paul? Explore with me these ideas and more in Philippians chapter 1 verse 20.

Explore with me the idea of placing Jesus, The True Light, The Prince of Peace, Immanuel on the throne of our hearts. What benefits could come from it? What if we don't place Him upon that throne? Who will reign in His place? How do we place Him there? All questions we will address in this Christmas morning sermon.

What is the God of the universe like? How does He exercise His divine power? Are you on good terms with Him? How can you be made right with Him?

How do we trust God when we can't see how He's at work? What do we do when life seems to be crushing us down past the point of despair? Take a look with me at how the Apostle Paul approached a crushing circumstance in his life. Philippians 1:12-19

The pressure for Christians and the Church to compromise is ever increasing in this day and age. What do we do? How can we stay faithful to God and uncompromising about His Word as it gets harder and harder each day? The answer is true, biblical, godly love.

What can we learn about the King of the Universe from the way He approached this significant moment in history? Luke 19:28-44 (NASB)

As Christians, we should live according to what believe. Especially as it pertains to our salvation. Listen as I break 1 Peter 1:13-21 down into 3 commands given by Peter as to how to live according to that salvation.

Let's dive into this amazing passage that we find in Ephesians chapter 1. Ponder with me the beautiful truths in this scripture about The Trinity, God, His love, salvation, and how all these things come together. Ephesians 1:3-14 Verses 3-6 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved." Verses 7-12 "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory." Verses 13-14 "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory." Questions to consider: How does God work in my salvation? Does God love me? Can I lose my eternal life? How can I become saved? Will God ever stop loving me? What is God like? How long has God known me?

A message about the impossible promises of God in Romans 4:16-25. (Translation used: NASB). How can we trust God when it goes against our understandings? Open your Bible and follow along or simply listen as I share Abraham's story of how he trusted in God's promise even though the promise was impossible. Did you know that God has also made us an impossible promise? Listen and hear me explain what it is and how we come to believe it.
