What the Church Does
We are all devoted to certain things. When we come to Jesus by faith, Jesus causes us to leave all other "devotions" and devote ourselves to Him, His mission, and His people. In this sermon, we talk about what this devotion to Jesus looks like.

The Day the Spirit Came
Christians often try hard to be the church God calls them to be without the power God has given them to use. God's Spirit is the power behind the church's mission, and in this sermon we look at what happened the day God gave His Spirit to His people.

The Mark of Love
In 1st Corinthians, Paul wrote to the church at Corinth about this first mark of the fruit of the Spirit. Paul told them that love is the greatest mark of all. We can bear this authentic mark of God’s Spirit in our lives. We can have lives marked by Christ’s kind of love.

We believe in the Holy Spirit
Do we really need the Holy Spirit? Couldn’t we get along just fine in the Christian faith without this third rather vague member of the Trinity? Indeed, some Christians have sometimes been accused of making too little of the Holy Spirit as others have been over making too much of him. A friend of mine said we could get into danger if our Christianity became Spiritianity. Let’s be careful here with the word balance. The balance we need is not 1/3 of each person of the Trinity but the full 100% the Bible gives to each. In a sense the Holy Spirit does everything the other members do; he’s involved in creation; he’s involved in redemption, gives new life. The Father is in heaven holding the world together; the Lord Jesus, whose earthly work is finished, is with him. As the Father sent the Son, the Son has now sent the Holy Spirit. He is the one who is here with us. And what is he doing? He’s always pointing us to Jesus and applying Jesus' work of salvation.

9-27-09 Galatians 3:8-13
(Galatians 3:8 KJV) And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. (Galatians 3:9 KJV) So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. (Galatians 3:10 KJV) For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (Galatians 3:11 KJV) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. (Galatians 3:12 KJV) And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. (Galatians 3:13 KJV) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
