This sermon draws much from the faithful preaching of Pastor Rolf Preus, whose has taught me, nearly more than any other, how to preach of Christ.

In Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a relentless God, Francis Chan writes “Stan [Gerlach] was giving a eulogy at a memorial service when he decided to share the gospel.

The big picture theme of Ephesians is the purpose of God being revealed as uniting all things in Christ, things in Heaven and on Earth to the praise of His glory. This Gospel, gloriously presented in this section, shows how God powerfully and lovingly brings us into this purpose, being united to Christ and united to each other.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without…

Learn what "disciple-making" means as Matthew 4:13 becomes the launching point. Jesus taught the disciples to share the Word, show the Word, teach the Word and serve the World. Two simple words, but a lifetime of modeling the Person of Christ.

True and Proper Worship 1. The mission is a statement of what the church is supposed to be doing, while the vision is a snapshot or picture of it. 2. The mission is used for planning where the church is going; the vision is used for communicating where the church is going. 3. A mission statement must…

INTRODUCTION: If we were to ask, how do you walk in Christ? We would probably say many things. We must believe in the Gospel. We must spend time in prayer. We must follow God’s Word.

바울이 갈라디아서를 쓴 동기는 다른 복음을 전하는 거짓 형제들이 갈라디아교회에 침투했기 때문이다. 그들은 갈라디아교인들이 받은 복음만으로는 충분하지 않다고, 진정으로 하나님의 백성이 되고자 한다면 할례를 받아야 한다고 가르쳤다. 이런 가르침에 대하여 바울은 이렇게 말한다. Anathema! Anathema!
