Sermons About Self
Pressing On Towards the Goal
Paul pressed on past his past and fixed his eyes on Jesus. What is your focus? Is it on God or on self? Is your hope placed in heaven? All of Paul's dreams and aspirations were put on the one thing that could save him. His eyes and hope was fixed on his Savior Jesus Christ.

Leaving the Thin Life
Becoming a thick Christian is our pursuit as we continue in Romans 6. If we will make progress that glorifies God; if we will make progress where our own soul is healed and thickened with the character of Christ, it will be because we take sin with utmost seriousness. Sunday we will consider vv. 1-4, where we learn that sin is no short list like sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. Sin is not just those few things that would really embarass us if we were caught. No, unfortunately it is much more. But there is also good news, life-changing news: we owe sin nothing. Its wages have been paid. We are free to leave it behind and move on, to live where Christ is, in newness of life. Sunday we begin to learn how. Try to read Romans 6 before Sunday, if you haven't already. Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Not Good Enough
Ever feel like you just don’t measure up? Sometimes it easy to find our identity in what we think of ourselves. Those things that we think about ourselves are often shaped by lies our mind ingests. Sometimes the lies are from family. Sometime they’re from friends or coworkers. Sometimes we simply don’t see ourselves as having value. No matter how bad we feel about ourselves, Jesus feels differently.

What I Do
Who are you? Often the answer to that question can be found in any number of different answers. Sometimes those answers are defined by our jobs. Sometimes they are defined by our families. Perhaps who we are is even defined by our past. Yet, so many of those things are more about our reputation and less about our true identity. As we consider what God has to say about who we are it is our response to Jesus that takes us on a journey from reputation to finding our true identity.

The Forerunner: John the Baptist
John the Baptist The Man, The Message, and the legacy. Jesus called John the greatest man born of woman. It wasn't because of his appearance, or how much money he had, It was because he submitted his life to Christ as we are all to do. The kingdom of heaven is near, just like it was in John's day. Jesus is coming soon the question is will we be ready. Will we be able to say that we have allowed Jesus to be more and self to be less?

Breaking Free
Stupidity is not random. It tends to recur in very predictable cycles. These are called destructive behavior patterns. Christians and non-Christians alike can live in them. But the Bible has always offered a way out. Key Verses: Luke 15:11-32, Deut 30:15-20, Prov 6:27, Prov 8

Renewing a City
