Responding to Unfairness

Reading: Luke 6:27-38

It's not fair! So many times unfairness strikes us. How should we respond? Should we "make it right?" Should we get even? Jesus was quite clear in teaching us how to respond.

Anger Pt 2: Quenching the Fire Within

2 Kings 5:10-15; James 1:19-20

Anger is something we all share. It is a powerful emotion all too often unleashed in destructive ways. Now that we understand the nature of anger, we need to learn how to process our anger biblically and constructively, for the glory of God, rather than in sinful and destructive ways. Scripture guides us in this process.

Anger Pt 1: Understanding Anger

Proverbs 29:22; Ephesians 4:26-32

Anger is something we all all familiar with. It is a powerful emotion with a great deal of potential for good as well as for harm. Unfortunately, this powerful emotion is just as misunderstood as it is common. It is vital, then, that we shed light on this important topic, and understand our anger.

The Greatest Commandment

Mark 12:28-34

Why is it that Jesus clearly stated that loving God and our neighbor are the greatest possible commandments? Isn't all this talking about love just sentimentalism? This message will help you understand the love of God as the basis of our conversion and of our entire life, and it will bring a much needed hope and reassurance to our Christian life.

God So Loved the World

John 3:14-21

Are we really under judgment like many people seem to say? Are we afraid of God because of the way we think He is going to judge us? A conversation with Niccodemus, a member of the Sanhedrin, led to the sharing of the gospel by the very One who made it all possible: Jesus. The famous statement uttered by Jesus about the love of God was also the prelude to His comments about judgment: comments that are vital for us to understand.

Trusting in God Even Through the Storms of Life

Matthew 7:21-29

An amazing journey that only begins to show us our inheritance in Christ, an inheritance that really takes eternity and infinity to actually grasp. This sermon will give you a new profound, amazing, breathtaking reason for which you can fully trust God even in the midst of the worst times.

I Am Willing!

Mark 1:40-45

How do we look at God in our times of need? Do we regard Him as unwilling, needing to be coerced into coming to help us? Do we expect Him to do our bid, and fulfill every desire of ours? Or do we see Him for who He really is, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, who loves us and gives Himself for us, even now? His words, "I am willing" will challenge your perspective of our Lord and of what Christianity really means.

The Problem of Worry and Anxiety

Matthew 6:24-34

For decades, anxiety has been recorded to be the number one emotional problem in the US. Regarding worry, a study has revealed that only 8% of the people had genuine concerns for things that required their attention. Worry and anxiety, however, are certainly not a new problem, and this passage helps us understand the foundational nature of this common problem, and what can be done about it.
