Love: The Most Excellent Way
Paul inserts a timely discussion about love between chapters 12 and 14 of 1 Corinthians, showing us that spiritual gifts are empty if they stand alone. Even faith and hope are not as great as love. Love is the essential Christian quality: it never fails, and it truly reflects the character of God.

The Purpose-Given Life
It was God's great purpose displayed in Moses -- not the greatness of Moses himself -- that taught Moses how to number his days and apply his heart to wisdom. That truth (echoed in New Testament passages such as Philippians 2:13) teaches us that we all have a God-given purpose. Rather than seeking to discover "our purpose in life," we gladly accept "God's purpose in our life" -- to give Him glory and pleasure all of our days.

God's One-Flesh Design for Marriage: Paradigm, Parable, Paradise
In contrast to the world's focus on "compatibility" in marriage, the Bible establishes a one-flesh paradigm that reinforces mutuality rather than self-satisfaction. This paradigm is echoed in the New Testament and, when understood and practiced, results in a God-pleasing marriage that returns both husband and wife to a sense of "paradise" as God originally intended them to enjoy.

The Lord of the Sabbath
As the Lord of the Sabbath (Luke 6:5), Jesus challenged the scribes and Pharisees to rethink their understanding of Sabbath work regulations. His priorities should be ours when we consider New Testament truth. For example, is the Christian Sunday properly regulated by a modern version of Old Testament Sabbath requirements? What would the Lord of the Sabbath say?

Set Apart by the Holy Spirit
How does a man know if he should be ordained to the Gospel ministry? And how does a church know? This sermon presents the Biblical pattern, purpose and process of ordination. The Holy Spirit is at work in a man's personal desire to serve, in his period of preparation for ministry, and in the public confirmation of his call.

The Real Meaning of Abundant Life (Do You Have Life to the Max?)
Some of the most popular preachers in the world claim that God wants you to live an "abundant life" with exceptional health, wealth and prosperity. Such teaching is entirely false and twists the meaning of John 10:10. This sermon presents the real meaning of abundant life (full, inexhaustible, eternal life) in context of the Gospel of John.

Feeding the Flock
Sheep are hungry for the Word of the Great Shepherd. In Acts 20, Paul exhorts the Ephesian elders to know the Word, teach the Word, guard the Word and trust the Word.

Seek the House of Mourning (Skip the Party, Find a Funeral)
Skip the party ... find a funeral. That's the essence of Solomon's advice to the wise in Ecclesiastes 7:1-6. In the house of mourning, eternal lessons can be learned. However, fools will head straight for the house of feasting. Their love of pleasure distorts their view of life and truth. This sermon conveys the folly of living for self and the wisdom of living for Christ.
