Balderdash (Short Bulletin Article)

Monday, July 27th, 2009

In the end, remember that there is only one real authority in religion. It is God’s Word. Despite the appeal and seeming plausibility of the sophist’s claims, all he really has to offer is balderdash.

In The News: Multiple Memberships

Monday, July 27th, 2009

It is as absurd to charge God with being pleased with multiple faiths as it is to be a member of multiple churches. God has established His truth. It is not acceptable for men to formulate their own faiths; rather, they must contend for and accede to the “faith once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). To do anything less is to act illogically.

Sermon: Thanksgiving

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

We should not set just one day aside for thanksgiving to God. Rather, we should always, every day be and express our thanks to God. Thanksgiving improves:

  • Our perspective about Ourselves
  • Our perspective about our Things
  • Our perspective about our God

Thanksgiving helps to keep us from arrogance, greed and worry.

Sermon: Self-Righteousness

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

The Sermon uses the text of Isaiah 65:1-7 as a warning against Self-Righteousness. We must not trust in ourselves, do our work to be seen of men, or be guilty of hypocrisy, which often accompanies Self-Righteousness. Having said that, Self-Righteousness is NOT:

  • Obeying God’s Law
  • Zeal and Dedication
  • Reproving and Rebuking Sin
  • Believing God’s Word to be Authoritative and Absolute

Rather than being Self-Righteous, we must submit to the righteousness of God.

Sermon: Jesus, the Son of God

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

This lesson begins with a mention of Peter’s confession that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, recorded in Matthew 16:13-16. How do we know that Jesus is the Son of God?

  • Fulfilled Prophecy
  • Testimony of John the Baptist
  • The Miracles He Performed
  • Testimony of the Father
  • The Resurrection

Sermon: I Speak This to Your Shame

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

In 1 Corinthians 15, the Apostle admonished the Corinthians who did not believe in the resurrection, indicating they should be ashamed. It is the purpose of preaching and admonition to shame individuals who are in sin. We all should be ashamed when we:

  • Participate in Ungodliness
  • Lack Knowledge
  • Uphold Those Who Teach Error

A True Tragedy

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Take it from someone who has preached a lot of funerals, the most important things in life are faith and family. If you want a happy and long life, put your focus there. You won’t regret it!

Definition of Decadence (Short Bulletin Article)

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Social critic Russell Kirk has defined decadence as the loss of an aim or object in life. “Men and women become decadent when they forget or deny the objects of life, and so fritter away their years in trifles or debauchery.”
