Don’t Play Favorites (James 2:1-13)

Favoritism, partiality, or discrimination, has no place in the church.  There are no qualifiers.  Christians don't play favorites.

Hearing and Doing (James 1:19-27)

Because we are in Christ, His law is not burdensome.  Obedience is possible because the Word has brought us to life, has been implanted within us, and we have listened to and received it with humility.  Therefore, we are to be doers of the word and not hearers only.

Faith in Trials (James 1:1-18)

When trials come it is possible to take responsibility for our active steadfastness and endure, but it is also possible to doubt and blame God.

The Story Continues (Luke 24:50-53)

Just as Christ's coming had marked the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New, His going would mark the end of His earthly ministry and the beginning of His heavenly one.

He Is Risen Indeed (Luke 24:13-49)

Encounters with the resurrected Jesus led to burning hearts, opened minds, and promised power.

The Tale of the Tomb (Luke 23:26-24:12)

There are a lot of good reasons to believe that Jesus is alive.  The most important are the words of Christ. 

The Innocent for the Guilty (Luke 22:63-23:25)

Christ was innocent for us in that He was a spotless sacrifice that paid our debt in full.  He was also innocent for us in that his sinlessness and record of perfect righteousness was imputed to us so that we would be not only blameless but holy.

Not My Will, But Yours, Be Done! (Luke 22:39-62)

The Father was leading Christ to the cross who was pleading for an alternative.  The Father sent an angel to minister to Him in the midst of the battle, but the alternative to the cross never came.

Enough! (Luke 22:31-38)

Jesus is enough! (Sermon given by Aaron Raines our Assistant to the Pastor)

Who’s the Greatest (Luke 22:21-30)

We are called to serve, not to be great.

A Look Back and A Look Ahead - Part 2 (Luke 22:14-20)

God does something in us when the bread and wine of the Lord's Supper are met by the Spirit and received by faith.  We feed upon Christ and are satisfied.

A Look Back and A Look Ahead - Part 1 (Luke 22:1-13)

If God can take a diabolical plan that involved wicked betrayal and bring about His purposes, He can work out His purposes in our lives as well no matter what obstacles there may be.
