Listen to audio;  Ephesians 116-23 – Resurrection Promises

Objective:  Clarify and re-enforce understanding of the significance of Christ’s resurrection.

     The resurrection of Christ is the most powerful event in history.  It re-directed the lives of the early Christians and ought to carry that same impact for each one of us.  Let’s consider what the raising of Christ from the dead ought to mean to us personally.


Hope For Our Nation

Listen to audio;  Hope For Our Nation

Objective:  Impress upon people the need to examine their relationship with God.

The book of Judges depicts a cyclical pattern that Israel (and individuals) generally repeat.  They grow lax, loose their focus on God and drift into increasing sin.  God gives them over to the lusts of their heart and they find themselves in trouble.  They then repent and call to God for help and God rescues them.  Here we ask where we are in this cyclical pattern and what we ought to be doing to keep our nation from being “given over” to our nation’s degrading passions and depraved minds.


Ephesians 5;15-21 – Walking With Wisdom

Listen to audio;  Ephesians 5;15-21 – Walking With Wisdom

Objective:  Encourage and enable each to walk more wisely through life.

     Have you ever done things you would now term as “unwise”?  We know there is a God, and that He will judge us all in the end.  We know there are forces constantly at work to hinder our spiritual lives and lead us in ways we know are “unwise”.  In this passage, the divinely inspired Apostle relates several things to focus on if we would walk wisely through life.


Ephesians 3;14-19 – Our Ultimate Prayer

Listen to audio;  Ephesians 3;14-19 – Our Ultimate Prayer

Objective:  Encourage each to pray for growth-blessings from the Father.

As the Apostle shares his prayers for the church in Ephesus,  his requests are based on his own realization of God’s awesomeness.  He knows that God is so great that he can raise people from the dead, save sinners, make the Jews and the Gentiles into one family.  God has an incredible overall plan and purpose for us.  The Apostle also sees the deep needs of the Christians; that they are struggling, discouraged, and perhaps some are ready to fall away from the faith.  It’s appropriate to ask God for the help that He is so capable and ready to give.  The Apostle knows what to ask for that will enable us to be more effective in our Christianity.

   


Ephesians 2;11-22 – The Significance of Christ

Listen to audio;  Ephesians 2;11-22 – The Significance of Christ

Objective:  Renew each one’s devotion and zeal to serve by reminder of the significance of Christ to them.

    Paul starts this letter with the statement that we have “every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ”, and he writes to remind Christians what being “in Christ” means in their lives.  Folks, realizing what we have “in Christ” would allow so many of our problems to just melt away, so let’s look and see some of the very motivational things we ought to remember about being “in Christ” when we are confronted with worries or temptations.


Jude 3-4 – Contend Earnestly

Listen to audio;  Jude 3-4 – Contend Earnestly

Objective:  Ensure that people are aware of false teachings and distortions.

    While writing to relate to Christians, the wonderful positives about what we have in Christianity, Jude is compelled by an awareness of hazards to take the time, instead, to write to them about dangers and hazards they need to be on guard about.  We need to be aware of both the wonders and the hazards of our religious circumstances.

 


Encouraging One Another

Listen to audio;  Encouraging One Another

Objective:  Inspire and direct individuals to encourage others in their Christian walk.

     It is not enough for folks to hear the Gospel once and be left entirely on their own.  There is too much struggle, too much unseen spiritual warfare.  God intends for Christians to share spiritual fellowship for mutual support.  Here are some ways in which we might be an encouragement to others.


Ease The Pounding Of My Heart

Listen to audio;  Ease The Pounding Of My Heart

Objective:  Help people trust God will all their cares.

     Do our hearts tremble when we need to take a stand on righteousness?  Does decay enter our bones when we look at national and world trends and see the advance of wicked and evil forces and see abominations being accepted by our nation and even by some churches?  We ought to know that we can entrust our very lives and souls to God in Christ, no matter what events come along.


Control Your Thoughts

View outline;  Control Your Thoughts

Listen to audio;  Control Your Thoughts

Objective:  Inspire people to take control and direct where their thoughts go.

     There IS a connection between where we allow our thoughts to dwell and what we ourselves become.  This is not “psychology”,  it is Bible!  It is spirituality!  It is truth.  The Bible teaches that we need to control our thoughts because what we allow our thoughts to dwell on, determines what we become.


Colossians 2;6-15 – Fully Embracing Christ

Posted: April 29th, 2015 | Author: | Filed under: Audio Sermons, Colossians Sermons, New Testament Expository Sermons | Comments Off

View outline;  Colossians 2;6-15 – Fully Embracing Christ

Listen to audio;  Colossians 2;6-15 – Fully Embracing Christ

Objective:  Encourage people to genuinely and fully embrace life in Christ.

     The concern of the passage, and my concern today, is that there are folks who “sort of” follow Christ.  This is a very dangerous thing.  Safety, life, godly direction lie in genuinely living in Christ.  Make sure you are fully walking “in Christ”.
