Sermons About Die
John the Murderer
The new kingdom is here! Get ready to join the greatest revolution that the world has ever seen... there is only one catch, you first must die... "We were buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." (Romans 6:4) The greatest gift is the new life that Christ offers, and it is free, but it costs everything. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him! John the Baptist prepared the way for the one who brings life... but if this life is to be attained, the old life must be put to death!

Die Daily
What did the apostle Paul mean when he wrote, “I die daily?” There are actually two things he meant: 1) that he faced the threat of death everyday, and 2) that he died to self each day. In many ways, you also face the threat of death everyday through the many unknown or unseen circumstances such as disease, accidents, etc. The whole reason Paul endured such hardship is because of the hope of the resurrection—a teaching not accepted by many in the city of Corinth. He went on to teach that it was vital for the listener to die to self before they would come to life just as a seed must be buried before it can come alive and grow. You must live a life fully surrendered to God, trusting his death on the cross to save you.

Jesus' Words of Life
Jesus' parables were a way that get past our defenses and straight to our hearts. This parable in Mark 4:1-20 does just that : the parable of the sower. Our response to the Word reveals which "seed" we are in this parable. Listen to learn more practical application for your life.

Our Desires and Jesus' Control
Mark 3:20-35 Our reaction to the person of Christ requires action of us: either rejecting His claims, or embracing His Lordship. Indifference is not a plausible, logical, or valid response. How have we distorted who Christ is in our own lives? Are we deceived and missing out on the fullness of life in relationship with Christ?

Mark 3:7-21
Mark 3 details why there was such hope and anticipation built around the person of Christ in His early ministry, not unlike the expectation that currently has been placed on President Obama. James Sutton explains the significance of Christ strategically choosing 12 disciples, and the personalities that accompanied them. Mark 3 illustrates that God always has permanent solutions in mind when we may only desire immediate fixes. Are your desires too small for Jesus' objective sometimes?

Advent: Love 2008
In the gospel we learn that we love God because God first loved us (1 John 4:19). In the gospel we hear of the truly loving One who came for us. We hear of the promise of God that tells us that all our hatred, all our despising of God and His goodness was swallowed up in Jesus’ death and was victoriously defeated in Jesus’ resurrection. Have you forgotten the gospel of grace where God’s love is shown most clearly. Jesus is calling us to remember the very basis for our love, the content of our love, the very person of our love, Jesus.

"All That Truly Matters"
The greatest thing in all the world is to have eternal life. The second is closely related. It is to know that you have eternal life. People ask: Am I truly forgiven and right with God? When I die, will I go to heaven? Can I be sure?
