Sacred Love: John 3.16 Easter
He is risen! He is risen indeed! Praise God for such a truth. As we celebrate and reflect on the resurrection of Jesus this Easter we will look at a place in Scripture that is a good place to begin and a great place to return often. So whether you are searching, seeking, struggling or soaring today we pray that you are encouraged by the great love God has for you.

Needs To Die
In this teaching, I suggest several things that need to die in order for us to really, truly live: bad things we know are bad, bad things that feel good, good things that can get bad, and even good things that are good.

The Good Shepherds Sheep
All of the promises of God are yes and amen! This week we look again at Jesus teaching in John 10 regarding His sheep and what He is giving them. Jesus says my Sheep know me and I give them eternal life. This promise is based on Jesus' claim to be able to take His life back again once He has laid it down for His sheep. This is a profound promise with an amazing guarantee. As Christians we need to lay hold of that promise and understand exactly who it is and how He guarantees it to His sheep.

Two Ways of Life: What Do We Teach Our Children
How often do we wonder what our children will grow up to be. How much time and money do we spend helping them do homework, go to sports events, participate in after school activities and sports, and so on, and so on. Now think about he time and effort we spend teaching them God's word and ways?

Sacred Calling Part 5: 1 Corinthians 15.1-10
What is sacred? God’s people have a sacred calling. Our sacred calling is to share the gospel. The sharing of the gospel is the most radical ministry we can have. This week we continue to be challenged and encouraged from the Scriptures to make the gospel and the proclamation of it the most important thing in our life.

Testimony of Hope -- Genesis 5:1-32
Genealogies are generally not people's favorite part of the Bible to read. However, even genealogies are part of God's word and useful to teach, exhort, correct and train us in godliness. In this genealogy we find not only that death reigned, but find a testimony to hope from God.

Assurance, Intercession, and Purity
Do any of you know people that are amazingly self-assured? Their confidence just overflows when you are around them. Sometimes being around them can be encouraging, and quite honestly, some times it can be intimidating. Maybe they have the effect on you that you try your best to be at your sharpest, wittiest, and most intelligent when you are interacting with them. Either way, everyone in the room senses their confidence. A lot of athletes are like that. When the game is on the line, they want the ball in their hands. When the Super Bowl is on the line, they want the ball thrown their way. They want to stand at the plate at the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded. Moments like that are what many kids dream of and play out in the backyard every day. I had that moment my very first organized baseball game. I may have told you guys this story before, but it bears telling again. I was in 4th grade in my very first little league game. I had not stepped onto the field the entire time. My uniform would not even need cleaning. It was the bottom of the ninth, we were down, there were 2 men on base, and my coach decides to put me in as a pinch hitter. I watched the last two pitches whiz by, I struck out, and we lost the game. I handled that like many other 9 year olds do by crying my eyes out. Fast forward 20 years later, and the exact same situation came up. I was playing church softball, it was the playoffs, and I step up with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. It was not lost on me at that last time that I was in the same situation, and the last time I was there I didn't come through. However, this time, I hit a bloop single that brought in two runners, and we won the game. Winning the game was enough to erase most of the pain of the 4th grade, but I was pretty sure that I was never going to be any team's go to guy on the baseball field. No matter whether you are confident or not, built into self-assurance or self-confidence is this attitude that sounds like the expression, "If it is going to be, it is up to me." There is a sense in some folks, right or wrong, that they just know if something needs to get done, they know they can count on themselves. Though this issue wavers back and forth between confidence and pride, it got me thinking about confidence and assurance in God. If I asked many of you, "Is God powerful enough to do anything?" I think many if not most of you would say, "Yes." "Is he powerful enough to create, heal, call things into existence by His very word?? I think most of you would say yes. But if I asked you if He was powerful enough to keep your salvation secure and in the process assure you that your salvation is real, I don't know if I would get as many affirmations. For some reason, we think God is powerful enough to do anything He wants in the material world, but when it comes to our heart, salvation, and assurance of that salvation, we think God either cannot or has chosen not to make us secure with Him. This Sunday, at Sovereign King, I want to remove that doubt today. Rather, John in this last sermon from 1 John wants to. John is going to use language like "knowing we believe" and "knowing you have eternal life" and "having confidence" in God. He is going to talk about what the life looks like that has confidence in God and what God has done.
