Sermons

He is risen! Risen indeed! We know the Easter story. God wins! What we many times miss is what it means to be living between the time that Jesus rose from the dead and the time He will come again. How should we live today? What did He tell us to be about until His…

The size of your view of Jesus determines the size of your trust in him. What is surprising is that religious people were the ones Jesus confronted with this truth. It’s possible to have an over-inflated view of religious activity that shrinks your view of Jesus. Is your view of Jesus too small?

We love to ask “greatest” questions. Who was the greatest leader, greatest football team, greatest player? What about car, movie, book, musician? A religious leader once asked Jesus about the most important command. Great love is what Jesus taught him. It’s what the world needs now.

What is your favorite book or movie? Many favorites have an unexpected twist at the end that captures our imagination and causes us to re-read or re-watch it. Knowing the end affects how we read or watch it. We are in a Great Story and we know the end! It should affect how we live…

Yielding. It’s a battle of authority. For example, traffic circles in KL are chaos! Which car has the right to go…the one in the circle or the one entering the circle? Who must yield…the one already in the circle or the one trying to enter? Everyone is their own authority, yielding to no one. That…

JESUS wants his disciples to finish well in this life. But what does FINISHING WELL looks like, and what it is NOT? The sermon will draw out principles from the life of Jesus to help us finish well -Jesus, on the cross (Matthew 27: 35-50); Jesus, in the garden (Matthew 26:36-45); and Jesus, in the…

When Jesus called us to Abide, he didn't intend that we do it alone. The fruit of abiding is that we would "love one another." But what if we don't feel like it? What if our love has run dry?

Nobody likes to be tricked. It is frustrating to receive another email from a “prince” in a foreign country wanting to leave you his fortune. Even more, it is infuriating and painful to be deceived by religion. Spiritual abuse in the name of the Lord ignites indignation in the heart of God. Jesus does not…

What would it feel like to miss your best friend’s wedding? Or your child’s birthday party? Or your spouse’s award ceremony? You don’t mean to, but something happens…a flat tire, a delayed flight, or a traffic jam. Now, what if you were being crowned as the next king or queen and you have everything planned…

Jesus consistently called us to “follow” him.  He never asked for admirers, defenders, or supporters.  Do you know the difference?  A follower strives to be what he admires.  An admirer keeps himself unconnected.  He fails to see that what he admires has a claim on him and then fails to be what he admires. Are you an admirer of Jesus…
