Sermons About God
We Study Because We Love Jesus
People who love Jesus love the Church because 'she' is His body. As we all know, churches (i.e., local congregations) are made up of imperfect people...so relationships are difficult. Yet we are called to be at peace with one another. That command (it is not a suggestion but a command) raises a slew of questions. One question is, "How can someone be at peace with others if they are not at peace within their own person?"

God is....Revealer
We do not have a God who set the universe in motion, but who then ceased to be involved, leaving things to run themselves. He does not leave us with just nature to draw conclusions about him. No, he has sent his living word, Jesus to save us from sin and death, he has provides us with his written word, the Bible and has mandated all of us to proclaim that word, to be prophetic when he chooses to reveal to us. And through that revelation God wants us to know himself, to know his plan for the world, but most of all to know that he cares for us personally.

Learning to Love - 1 Corinthians 13 (Stand Alone)
Sometimes, we need to call timeout, huddle up as a team, step back from the moment and remember why we are here. This sermon is a reminder to keep first things first. What is the first thing? Love is. They are many important things that happen in the life of a church--programs, budgets, meetings, facilities. These things are important because they enable ministry, but they are not the main thing. The struggle for a church is to keep the main thing the main thing. If we allow secondary things to distract, divide or discourage us, we will not achieve the primary thing God has called us to do. In this sermon, we will look at 1 Corinthians 13 as we more fully learn to love.

I Can't Believe
The emotional and intellectual walls that keep us from believing in Christianity. A disbelief in the supernatural, a disbelief in absolute truth, a disbelief in the unique claims of Christianity are 3 of the intellectual walls we use. Emotional walls are that we can't believe because of evil in the world, we can't believe because of pain in our lives, we can't believe because of issues we have with our earthly Father. We must dismantle those walls in order to believe.

The Fear of the Lord
If you truly know God, then you’re saved and you’ll undoubtedly have and are growing in a healthy fear of Him. It’s impossible to meet Him and not tremble with fear. Jer 5:22, “’Should you not fear me?’ declares the Lord. ‘Should you not tremble in my presence?’

Christian Armor: Truthfulness and Righteousness
Whether we recognize it or not we are locked in a cosmic battle with eternal consequences. We have a powerful, crafty and dedicated enemy who hates us and is working against us. The point of our passage is that though it will not be easy to live the Christian life God has made available to use all the resources that we need to defeat the enemy's attempts.
