Sermons
Are We Committed?
How committed are we to the truth and God’s way of life? What important commitment did we or do we make that is life changing to draw us closer to God?
The Mystery of the Holy Spirit
Who gives us the Holy Spirit? In what way is the Holy Spirit “one”? Who resides in true Christians? Is the Holy Spirit a person? The Bible uses many times figurative language when referring to the Holy Spirit. Still, why are descriptions used which seem to imply person-hood and conscious activities of the Holy Spirit? Are we unduly restricting and misunderstanding some of those passages?
Knowing God
Do you know God? Does God know you? Many people claim to have a personal relationship with God, but do they really have it? Understanding the nature of your relationship with God will help you to build and maintain that relationship in ways that are crucial to your future.
Make Yourself Useful
Are we, as the saying goes, “useful to society”? More specifically, are we making use of our opportunities to do what we can and to increase in our usefulness to God as part of His “elect”?
Dreams and Visions
Prayer for the Past, Present and Future
Sometimes we allow the focus of our prayers to become too narrow. Having an all encompassing perspective in what we pray about is key to our growth in Christianity.
Evolution or Creation?
Are plants, animals and humans the product of an evolutionary process which began by accident when an organic soup was bombarded by gases from the universe? Was Darwin correct when he called man nothing more than a walking amoeba? Why are there living fossils? Did man evolve from apes? Was Neanderthal an ape or a man–or was he a missing link? Is the Radio Carbon method correct which scientists use to determine the age of remains? Would the Bible allow for the existence of a Loch Ness monster or Bigfoot?
Enemies of Faith
How strong are we when it comes to our faith and when our faith is being tested, will we give in to the enemies of faith? What are these enemies of faith?
The Shield of Faith
Ephesians 6:16 commands us to take the shield of faith, as an important part of the armor of God, which will enable us to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. How does the Bible describe this shield, and what is meant with the fiery darts of the wicked one? Further, what kind of faith is necessary? Is true faith just a defensive “weapon,” or is more required?
