Pleasing Man or God?

Galatians Chapter 1, I'll read verse one through to verse number ten, and consider this morning verse ten together. Galatians Chapter 1: Paul, an apostle not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead, and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia: grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory foreve… Continue reading...

John 2:13-22

Christ the Conqueror of Death

Let's turn in our Bibles to John Chapter 2. Thank you for having me this morning. Thank you for the warm welcome. It's really nice to be here. We've tried to organize me coming here for a while, but for one reason or another, it hasn't happened, but I'm able to be here this morning with my family, so it's wonderful to be here.

There's a number of familiar faces both from my own church and from elsewhere, so it's nice to see old friends, and of course, there are many people here I don't know as well. We've heard some good things of the… Continue reading...

1 Corinthians 10:1-13

Temptation

This morning's text comes from 1 Corinthians 10, and we'll read from the first 13 verses of that chapter. 1 Corinthians 10—I apologize in advance; all of my notes are in the NIV from 1984, so if it sounds a little different to your Bible, that would be why, but I know no other version, so I'll be stuck with that one.

1 Corinthians 10, and I'll read from verse 1 through to verse 13: "For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They … Continue reading...

Matthew 5:13-16

Beatitudes: Salt and Light

Matthew Chapter 5:11-16 tells us, "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp … Continue reading...
