Who Is God To Us? | A Sojourner’s Guide
Have you ever met someone and you weren’t quite sure how to address them? Like, Miss or Mrs., Pastor or Reverend, etc. Well, have you considered how different people address God? Truthfully, I think how we address Him tells a lot about our relationship with Him.
Do Not Conform | A Sojourner’s Guide
I loved playing with “Stretch Armstrong” as a kid. It was fun to pull and squish and reshape him however I pleased. Well, today we’re going to see from God’s Word that there are forces within us and around us trying to do the same thing. I’m excited to show you this great passage and the overcoming hope in it.
A Living Hope | A Sojourner’s Guide
Over the years I’ve been privileged to travel around the world visiting TBC missionaries. I love being there to pat them on the back and serve them in whatever way I can. But I’ll also be honest… I always like coming home. That’s my hope whenever I’m away from home. Actually, home is my hope. And the Apostle Peter would say that the same thing is true in the spiritual life. I look forward to showing you why we who believe can always have a “living hope.”
God Chose Us | A Sojourner’s Guide
Have you ever travelled to a foreign country? While it often can be an exciting experience, what makes dealing with all the nuances of a different culture bearable is the knowledge that we’ll soon be going home. In other words, we’re just sojourners. Such is true in the spiritual life as well. I’m genuinely excited to unpack this truth with you today as we kick off our new series in 1 Peter, “A Sojourner’s Guide.”
The Woman at The Well | Conversations With Jesus
The Paralytic Man | Conversations With Jesus
It seems as if every decade has a hit song in it about friendship (“You’ve Got a Friend”, “That’s What Friends Are For”, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”, etc.). I think most people understand the significance and special nature of true friendship. So does the Bible. Today I get the privilege of showing you my favorite story on friendship in the entire New Testament (well, after Jesus that is). It’s a great story of faith, determination and love. I hope you’ll be inspired by it as I’ve been.
Socialism | Hot Summer Topics 2019
Back in my college days, I was an Economics major, and I still enjoy the field of study. So maybe it’s just me, but it sure does seem like socialism is a hotly trending topic in our culture today. What is it, and what does the Bible say about it?
Immigration | Hot Summer Topics 2019
Well, in the realm of “hot topics” in our culture these days, you’d be hard-pressed to find one hotter than that of immigration. It seems to be in the news every day, and it pretty much has been since the 2016 election cycle. So, what does God’s Word have to say about it?
Discrimination | Hot Summer Topics 2019
If you use social media at all, you’re probably familiar with the phrase “what’s trending.” It refers to the topics in our day that are being hotly discussed or debated. This month we will be launching a new series in which I will endeavor to speak truth into what’s trending. God’s Word does indeed have a good word for us about each of the current social issues we’re facing today.
Fruitful And Fulfilling | Benediction
Do you remember that feeling of having the right equipment for the job – that perfect tool, instrument or device that makes your task so much more fruitful and fulfilling? Our passage this week teaches us that God “equips us in every good thing to do His will.” He delights in enabling us to do our tasks – His tasks – so that our lives can be more fruitful and fulfilled.
