Sermons About Introspection
The Danger of Introspection
Self-preseveration and self-focus are the anti-thesis to a walk of humility and obedience to the Lord Jesus in His kingdom. The more we move away from self, the closer we get to the elevated plane God intends for us to live. This message lists the dangers and pitfalls to watch for and avoid.

The Unstoppable, Spirit-filled, Missional Mess Known as the Church
Our journey through Acts is now taking a new turn. The book is honing in on a second generation of leadership, shifting attention away from the "original apostles" to new gospel-carriers like Stephen and Paul. Sandwiched between these two men is an evangelist often overlooked -- Philip. Yet Luke (the author of Acts) shows Philip to be a uniquely gifted and qualified man for the specific ministries God had in store for him. Today we mine the depths of Philip's ministry in chapter 8, and we'll hopefully pull out a few gems of wisdom that profoundly inform who we are and what we do as Christ's body. Some of our discoveries will be inspiring and reassuring; others will be sobering and harshly honest. We'll spend some time parsing out important technicalities of theology. We'll also pause for moments of deep personal introspection. Acts 8 really is all over the map, just as Philip was!

Where God is Most Clearly Seen
This message considers that the safest place for us to study God's character is at the foot of the cross. Being Gospel centered is not narrowing. It is clarifying. In this sermon we consider how the justice and love of God are most clearly seen at the cross.
