SERMON SUMMARY As we read through this chapter carefully, you will notice three themes that seem to repeat themselves in the various sections of Luke’s retelling of the resurrection story. The Resurrection is a worldview-shattering historical event. Many people today dismiss the resurrection out of hand. They say it didn’t happen because it couldn’t happen.…
SERMON SUMMARY Today’s message is the fourth in a series of messages entitled “Four Keys to Financial Freedom.” So far, we have discussed three keys: earn money honestly, give money generously, and spend money wisely. The final phase of achieving financial freedom involves having a surplus of money to invest. To have money to invest,…
SERMON SUMMARY We are in the middle of a four-part sermon series on how to experience financial freedom, and today we are going to look at the third principle: learning to spend money wisely. Proverbs 21:20 says, “The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get.” Financial freedom doesn’t require great wealth,…
SERMON SUMMARY Because God gives generously, we should give generously (1 Timothy 6:17-19). God wants us to be generous. And when we are, God seems to multiply our resources, enabling us to give even more. This principle of increase is found throughout the Scriptures (Luke 6:38, Proverbs 3:9-10, 2 Corinthians 9:6-11).

SERMON SUMMARY As we continue our series on the Hard Sayings of Jesus, we come across a saying so hard that it caused many of Jesus’ followers to walk away. The passage is John 6:53-55, 66 in which Jesus speaks of his followers “eating the flesh of the Son of Man and drinking his blood.”…
SERMON SUMMARY We are in a series of messages where we are examining the hard sayings of Jesus. Some of Jesus’ sayings are hard to understand, some are hard to hear, but some are just hard to do. Today’s saying falls into that category. In Matthew 6:19, Jesus commands: “Do not store up for yourselves…
SERMON SUMMARY We are in a series of messages where we are studying some of the hard sayings of Jesus. And it doesn’t get any easier this week, as we look at Matthew 5:38-42. Jesus begins by saying, “You have heard that it was said,” and then he quotes an Old Testament law from the…
