Three Tests (1 John 1:6-2:11)
If we know we’re sinners rescued by Jesus, and if this leads us to obey God and love other believers, we can have assurance that we have genuine faith.
Sermons
I’ve been preaching for over thirty years now. Almost every one of the sermons I’ve preached since 1996 is here.
Some of the sermons are good, but not all of them. I’ve learned a lot in the thirty-plus years I've been preaching, and I still have a long way to go.
Feel free to use these sermons as a resource. If you’re a preacher, please preach your own sermons.
When We Get Christianity Right (1 John 1:1-2:6)
We get Christianity right when we make it about the real Jesus as the solution to our real sins.
My Challenge This Fall (Philippians 2:12-13)
Work out what God is working in you in three ways: living in community, practicing the disciplines, and shining as lights in the world.
Pursue These Gifts (1 Corinthians 14)
Pursue the miraculous spiritual gifts — especially prophecy — for the purpose of building up the church.
When Prayer Doesn’t Work (Psalm 77)
When prayer doesn’t seem to help, and your emotions won’t lift, hold on to what’s true about God even if you can’t see it.
