Sermon: Revelation, Part 32 — Here is Wisdom

Today we make our way into the part of Revelation where we consider the false prophet and the number of the beast for the first time. As we are told in I John, we should try every spirit, every prophet–setting aside true spirits and prophets from those who will not confess who Jesus Christ is. [...]

Sermon: We Need Exercise

It is all well and good for us to sit around and talk about walking, or swimming or playing sports or doing this or that. Unless and until we actually do these things, we derive no benefit from them. So it is with spiritual exercise. Unless we actually memorize scripture and meditate on it, then [...]

Sermon: Mothers — Tools in The Hand of God

We take a brief break from our study of the Book of Revelation today to consider how important in the lives of children are their mothers. We’ll be staying in Proverbs today since it is replete with verses which discuss and describe how mothers are to apply instruction and to otherwise ensure that their children [...]

Sermon: Revelation, Part 9 — Be Zealous and Repent

As we continue in our studies in Revelation, we come to seventh and final letter to the churches in Asia Minor. This was the church of Laodicea. For this church is reserved particular scorn because it was neither hot nor cold. That is, the people of the church were lukewarm in their worship of Christ. [...]

Sermon: Revelation, Part 6 — Jezebel Lessons

Specifically, we look at one strongly negative trait, in that the church had allowed someone to continue as a member of that group who had no business being part of and leading the people. Why? Because she was [...]

Sermon: God’s Design for The Church

We are to sanctify the Lord in our hearts. We are to set ourselves apart to Him — to become wholly like Him. We leave who we are, our desires and our proclivities and establish our mission to become as much like Christ as is humanly possible. How then can we fulfill this? Well, who [...]

Sermon: A Message to Socialists–Man Has a Sin Nature

Socialism is a term much in the news these days. The philosophy is based on several foundational ideas–one of which is that the human condition is perfectable if we only manage (that is, control) all the environmental factors. In short, socialism believes that man and woman are, within their natural state, at worst neutral, but [...]

Sermon: How to Lead Your Family Through a Crisis–Part 1 of 15

Today we begin the series on leading a family through a crisis. This series is based on the book Changed Forever which details the events surrounding Pastor Schuurmans and his family as they dealt with his daughter Sarah’s traumatic brain injury and all that came with it. Full audio and video of the sermon are [...]

Sermon: The Greatest Story

Easter we call it, or Resurrection Sunday. It seems so simple in some ways because we have all become accustomed to hearing that very God died for us. Our lack of appreciation does not change the beauty, the magnificence, the power of that single act. Here is a link to the full audio:
