Sermons About Christians
Most Promiscuous Church Member of the Year
The church has a bad reputation because people feel judged by Christians and for good reason. Christians have turned judging those outside the circle of faith into an art form. This is competely opposite of what the Bible really teaches. In fact, we need to judge those who are inside the circle of faith; it is the loving thing to do.

A Song of Divine Harmony
Not only is the Christ hymn of Philippians 2 a powerful picture of the gospel, but it also helps us hear harmony in regard to the nature of God, when often Christians today either worship God as a friend or as an exalted King.

Waaah - I'm a Christian
Christians have a God-given motivation to grow closer Jesus and become more him. However, many Christians reach a certain level of spirituality, and begin to feel the church lets them down. As they grow spiritually, their satisfaction with the church's ability to "feed them" declines. It's at this point that Christians shouldn't be fed by the church, Christians need to be "feeding" themselves.

Who's In Charge
Politics and religion are the two things people aren't supposed to talk about. But Paul mixes them well in Romans 13:1-7 where he calls on Christians to recognize that living sacrifices to God must still submit to government, not just because of wrath, but because it is the right thing to do. God established all governments, and delegated authority to them. Therefore, we must honor them.

Can Christians Have Demons In Them?
Christians can be attacked, tempted, harrassed and oppressed by demons from the outside. But what about the "inside"? Jonathan presents two views - that a Christian CAN be demonised and that they CAN'T be demonised. The Bible provides no definitive answer to the question but Jonathan discusses relevant passages such as 1 Cor 5:17, John 12:31, John 10:28, 2 Cor 12:7, Eph 4:26-27, 1 Cor 3:16, Eph 4:30-31, Rom 6:12-13. General Observations. What about Generational Curses?
