1 Peter – 1 Peter 1:22-2:3 – 4 of 18 SERMON SUMMARY By the grace of God we’ve had great unity here at TCC for over 25 years, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. But that’s not the case for many churches. Some of you have witnessed a church spit first hand. It’s not pretty,…
1 Peter – 1 Peter 1:13-21 – 3 of 18 SERMON SUMMARY How can Christians remain pure in an impure world? Some would say that we should withdraw from the world, lest it rub off on us. But Philippians 2:15 and John 17:14-15 offer a different tactic. Notice those words, “in the midst of a…
1 Peter – 1 Peter 1:1-12 – 2 of 18 SERMON SUMMARY Suffering is a universal language. Tears are the same for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Sorrow comes to the young and to the elderly-to the rich and to the poor. Since pain is such a pervasive problem, we need a potent prescription. Peter’s first…
1 Peter – An Introduction – 1 of 18 SERMON SUMMARY We are beginning a study of the New Testament letter of 1 Peter. Of all Jesus’ disciples, none stands as front and center as does Peter. Chuck Swindoll says this about him: “Whether sloshing around in a sinking boat weighted down with fish or…
Living in the Shadow of the Resurrection – Responding to the Resurrection – 4 of 4 SERMON SUMMARY Had there been no resurrection, we—and nearly 2 billion others around the world—would not be gathered to worship the risen Christ. And this world would be very different than it is. The Christian faith has had a…
Living in the Shadow of the Resurrection – He is Risen! – 3 of 4 SERMON SUMMARY The Christian faith is rooted in the facts of history, and Luke, the gospel-writer, is widely considered to be a master historian. He was determined to set forth an accurate account of Jesus’ life and ministry (Luke 1:1-4). Of the…
Living in the Shadow of the Resurrection – The Day God Died – 2 of 4 SERMON SUMMARY Jesus had not eaten since the Passover meal he ate with his disciples nearly fourteen hours earlier. Consider Jesus’ physical and emotional condition: he’d been up all night and had endured six emotionally draining trials. He’d been punched and scourged (Matthew 26:67; John…
Living in the Shadow of the Resurrection – The Night They Arrested God – 1 of 4 SERMON SUMMARY Jesus’ sufferings begin with his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane and conclude with his crucifixion. In between we read of his arrest and the six trials that he endured. Just before all this Jesus shared…
The Flawed Life of Samson – Broken Vow, Broken Life – 4 of 4 SERMON SUMMARY Almost everyone I know, Christian, non-Christian, has a “don’t mess with me” switch. You guys know what I’m talking about. It happens when something or someone gets on your last nerve. It’s Friday afternoon and your boss dumps a bunch of work on you that has to be done right now! All…
The Flawed Life of Samson – Broken Vow, Broken Life – 3 of 4 SERMON SUMMARY When we think of Samson we tend to think of him as a great Biblical hero. He had great abilities, but he wasted those gifts. He was supposed to carry out his job description for the glory of God, but Samson was all about his own glory. His was a wasted life,…
