| Really Live ( I Thessalonians 2:17-3:13) Sunday, August 22nd, 2010 The crisis in the Gulf has faced us with how quickly life dreams can explode. Where can we find a life purpose that oil spills, hurricanes, accidents, or disease can't muck up? An ancient 1st Century letter gives us better support than either BP or the US government. Check it out! |
| A Preacher You Can Trust (I Thessalonians 2:1-16) Sunday, August 15th, 2010 If I were an unbelieving dad, one of my major reasons for rejecting Jesus Christ would be the tricks, hypocrisy, and impurity of so many who claim to proclaim Him. But before you conclude that all preachers are Elmer Gantries, you ought to investigate this 1st Century example of a missionary you can trust. If you’re a believing dad, then 1 Thessalonians 2 challenges you with a life vision—a goal you should set for yourself in raising each of your children as individuals and how you can reach it. |
| The Big Turn - From Lifeless Idols to the Living, True God (I Thessalonians 1:4-10) Sunday, August 8th, 2010 What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "Christian" or what is the first thing folks in your city or town think of when you mention your church? Businesses spend millions to get the right "label." What did the 1st Century Thessalonian believers do that caused their entire country to be buzzing about what happened to them? |
| The Rescue (I Thessalonians 1:1-3) Sunday, August 1st, 2010 For most of US history Christianity was the religion that dominated American life. In 2010, however, there are all kinds of choices out there—Buddhism, Scientology, Hinduism, Judaism, and Islam. Does the Apostle Paul present another religious option or did his good news about Jesus offer something different and deeper? Listen and find out as we begin our study of 1Thessalanians one of Paul's earliest 1st Century letters. |
| The Cure For Evil Within (Colossians 3:5-11) Sunday, July 25th, 2010 We can sit in our churches and decry the moral outrage, but the truth remains—the sexual craziness, the deception, the greed, the anger, the cursing—these are the passions that lurk inside all of us. Our culture might have decided it doesn’t matter. We might be sick of it all, but the only opinion that matters in the end is that of the Judge of all men. How does He feel about our lies, slander, and sexual sin? How can we conquer the murderous tiger inside? |
| Where is Your Heart? (Colossians 2:20-3:4) Sunday, July 18th, 2010 The theme of “forsaken love” often takes center stage in our popular ballads and movies and it raises the issue of our priorities, our devotion, or dreams. Religion with its powerful traditions and rules seeks to rob us of intimacy with our Creator, but Jesus Christ brings us up close and personal with the Infinite God who must capture our hearts. |
| Bullied By Religion (Colossians 2:13-23) Sunday, July 11th, 2010 Religion is back in style in America! Everything from burning incense to daily meditation times are the vogue. From Buddhist meditation to charismatic praise to Bible church preaching, the practice of connecting with the deity is scientifically demonstrated to be just plain good for you. If the Apostle Paul were alive today, would he applaud this reemergence of devotion to religion practices? |
| Complete, Circumcised, Alive (Colossians 2:8-15) Sunday, July 4th, 2010 My life just doesn’t seem fulfilled. I sense a hunger for something more!” When this powerful internal passion makes you restless, who or what are you going to turn to for meaning? When you lie on your bed at night and think about what is really going on inside, what can truly deal with the deadness, the rebellion, the pride within? Listen as Dave exposes the root of the break down in parent-child relationships, husband-wife relationships and student-student relationships. Discover how to become completely alive. |
| Dead and Alive (Colossians 2:8-15) Sunday, June 27th, 2010 Robbed! Violation, anger, loss, fear—these are realities that devastate our lives when a thief violates the sanctuary of our homes. Spiritual thieves come with impressive human credentials and like the threat of cancer try to rob us of the joy and freedom we have in Jesus. The Apostle Paul diagnosed this threat in the early church and wrote the letter to Colossae to deal with the lethal attack. |
| Giving the Best to Father (Colossians 3:18-21) Sunday, June 20th, 2010 From suits to sport shirts to designer swimwear…Millions have been spent and stores are kept solvent until fall arrives with the promise that Christmas is only days away. If you forgot a Father’s Day gift, it is a little too late, but there is an ultimate Father who needs a gift from all of us. How we can give Dad our best? |
| The Ultimate Canceled Debt (Colossians 2:6-8) Sunday, June 13th, 2010 You may be rich materially when you retire, but will you have your spiritual debts completely paid off when your time comes? Spiritually, all of us sit on death row until we discover that the Messiah Jesus has paid our sentence of death in full. As we receive new spiritual life we should enter a life of thanksgiving that lasts forever, but there are enemies who want to rob us of joy by trying to lock us up again in a life of guilt and religious observances. The Apostle Paul exposes these spiritual thieves and challenges us to hang on to Christ alone. |
| Where To Find Permanent “Cheer Up” (Colossians 2:1-5) Sunday, June 6th, 2010 One of life’s most difficult challenges is to stay “cheered up.” A new job, a change in location, a new house—they remove the blahs for a few months and the meaningless, powerless and joyless existence returns. The Apostle Paul spoke to this malady way back in the 1st Century and gave us the secret that can keep us encouraged for eternity! |
| Does it Pay to Serve God? (Malachi 3-4) Sunday, May 30th, 2010 Take a look around. Who has the power, the money, and the fame? If God is just, then why do so many bad people ride the wave of success while so many of those who honor Him get the short end of the stick? Before you choose to cynically decide to join the group that forgets God, you better check out how the Jewish prophet Malachi responded to these kinds of questions. |
| Shameful Priests and Treacherous Husbands (Malachi 1:6-3:5) Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 Do you ever get concerned when you see churches closing down and their doors bolted? You would think that the Almighty would look with horror on this disgrace, but actually there are some churches where God Himself closes the doors. Turn to Malachi 1:6 ff and let’s listen as the Lord speaks to us about worship cheats, cursed priests, and tells us what He feels about husbands who trade in their old wife for a newer, younger model? You ladies need to listen in as well because cougaring is no joke in the heavenly court. |
| The Divine Hatred (Malachi 1:6ff) Sunday, May 16th, 2010 Do you ever get concerned when you see churches closing down and their doors bolted? You would think that the Almighty would look with horror on this disgrace, but actually there are some churches where God Himself closes the doors. Turn to Malachi 1:6 ff and let's listen as the Lord speaks to us about worship cheats, cursed priests, and tells us what He feels about husbands who trade in their old wife for a newer, younger model. You ladies need to listen in as well because cougaring is no joke in the heavenly court. |
| A Mother's Day (Titus 2:4-5) Sunday, May 9th, 2010 The young mom was part of an up and coming Gospel team, but when her oldest daughter said that she lived at her grandparents' house and her parents came to visit once in a while, she decided it was time to leave the circuit and become a full-time mom. Was this a good choice? |
| Graduation Day (Colossians 3:17) Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 I know that your mail box has already started to fill with all those fancy, printed in color invitations to attend high school and college graduations. But what should you give to the next generation to help them at this strategic step in their journey. |
