Sermons About Good-works
Good fruit begins on the inside
Change from the inside out is what God is after. You can attempt to beautify your image, and look the part, but God doesn't care. Are you striving to look the part, or to know Christ?

We Study to Do the Will of God
No study of a passage in the Bible is complete if it is not applied to one's life. God does not want a bunch of computers (heads full of information), He wants disciples (humans being transformed by knowledge because it compells them to action). The "words" portion of the sermon is short...but the actions lasted a while...

But God...
Taking a break out of our Nehemiah series, we pause on this water baptism Sunday to remind ourselves of the Good News of the Gospel. In Ephesians 2:1-10, we find one of the clearest and most thorough explanations of what God did for us in Christ.

Christian's Witness to the World, Pt. 2 (Matthew 5:14-16)
Christians are left in this world for one primary purpose: to be witnesses to the gospel of Jesus Christ. (possibly note challenge of bad witnesses) Last week we noted the Christian’s witnesses as salt - witness through the character and purity of life. This is week the Lord compares the church to light, which reveals by dispelling darkness. Christian are commended to the obedience and proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sacred Life: Titus 3.8-15
This week we close out our series on Paul's letter to Titus. I pray that you have been encouraged and challenged over the last eight weeks. Sunday we will look at Paul's last word to Titus. In his closing remarks he speaks of the fruit of a regenerate life. Such fruit is God-glorifying, faith-drenched good works done from a heart of love. We see in this text that the regenerate life is lived in the context of relationships, vertically with God through Christ and horizontally with others. Paul addresses four different groups and how we are to live profitable lives among them.

What Do You Mean By That?
Enhancing God's reputation by reflecting Jesus in the world through relationships, good works, and worship. That sounds nice...but what does it mean? Why are "good works" a part of that statement - do we "earn" our salvation? What is meant by "relationships," or "worship" for that matter? The Core Values of New Life undergird this Purpose Statement; clarity of what is meant by it is vital.

The Prelude to the Preeminence of Christ
The church in Colosse had many false teachers and allow them to teach false teachings. Today's church is not much different. Many churches today allow false teachings and mislead there congregations. It is ONLY God and the Holy Spirit who teaches the word of God. Not the pastor, not the sunday school teacher.
