The talk is an exposition of 1 Timothy 4:1-11, with an appeal to faithfulness in doctrine.
Sermon: The Resurrection of Lazarus
The Lesson is an exposition of John 11 and 12. Lazarus’ resurrection from the dead, as a work of the Lord is examined, with applications.
Sermon: Remember the Death of Christ
The sermon is an admonition to remember the Death of Christ as the sacrifice for our sins, and as the only means of obtaining said remission of sins. The Lord’s Supper is identified as one God ordained part of our worship that draws our minds to that event.
Invitation: Teach a Man to Fish
Invitation delivered by: Justin Carrell
It is important to have faith that is based upon the word of God. You must have your own conviction. Your faith must be your own, rather than based upon feelings or personal views.
Sermon: The Cost of our Discipleship
Jonathan Hinds uses the text of Luke 14:25-ff to introduce a lesson on the subject, The Cost of our Discipleship.
Sermon: The Sufficiency of the Scriptures
Josh Cox discusses attitudes toward the Bible, expressed by those who are not Christians; the inspiration and sufficiency of the scriptures as God’s word; and the proper attitude that Christians should have toward the Bible.
What Constitutes a STRONG Church
A look at the New Testament reveals that even early in the history of the Lord’s church, some congregations were not as strong as the Lord desired. While Paul’s epistle to the church in Philippi indicated that congregation to be strong and faithful, his first letter to the Corinthians revealed a congregation inundated with spiritual problems, division and worldliness. A quick reading of our Lord’s letters to the seven churches of Asia (in Revelation 2 and 3) shows criticism and a call to repent for all of them, save Smyrna (2:8-11) and Philadelphia (3:7-13). Note the Lord’s praise for the church in Philadelphia. “Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown” (10-11).
In the News: The World’s Hatred
I find myself irritated from time to time by famous people who claim to be Christians, but show themselves to be fickle in their “faith” when their convictions are tested by circumstance or criticism. Two examples of this recently came to my attention.
The first was a quote from Josh Hamilton, who was the center fielder for the Texas Rangers last season. In an important game last year, late in the season, Hamilton made an egregious and costly error. When his manager asked him what happened, he responded by uttering a profanity. Now, it is obvious that Hamilton has problems. His drug abuse, tattoo covered body, and continued struggles with addiction are well documented. But, he claims to have given his heart to the Lord, and that God leads him in the decisions he makes in his life. His behavior in light of his claims give cause for the world to ridicule the very concept of Christian faith.
Invitation: What it Means to be Courageous
Invitation delivered by: Armando Vera
Sin and temptation is everywhere in our society. In the face of all this temptation, it is important for all of us to be courageous in standing against sin. James 4:1-10.
Sermon: The Gospel of Jesus Christ
This lesson describes the gospel. Its focus, which is Jesus Christ; the fact that it is God’s sword to the converting of man; its purpose which is to save; and it power to do so.
Invitation: God’s Command to Sing
Invitation delivered by: Justin Carrell
God shows His great wisdom and care for us in His command for us to worship Him in song.
Sermon: The Sanctity of Life
The text of Exodus 21 is used as a beginning point to explain the rationale behind being pro-life (the abortion issue), and at the same time supporting capital punishment (the death penalty). Both positions are scriptural, and based upon the principle that life is sacred.
Sermon: God is Impartial
The lesson establishes that God is impartial, and discusses the ramifications of that fact as it impacts the redemption of mankind.
Invitation: How to be Abased and to Abound
Invitation delivered by: Kyle Chamblee
In a discussion of Philippians 4:12-13, Kyle points out that we must appeal to the strength of Christ both during bad times (when discouragement may set in), and during good times (when temptation may distract).
Sermon: The Promise of Heaven
The scriptures describe heaven (among other things) as a habitation, a homeland, an inheritance, a rest and a crown. Each of these descriptive terms reveal wonderful aspects of our eternal reward.
