The Healing Power of Forgiveness,  Confession and Absolution – Sermon – June 13 2010

Do you know and are you sure of the forgiveness of your sins from God?  Are you taking your assurance of the forgiveness from God to help and inspire you to practice this same kind of grace with each other and especially with those who have really hurt you in your life?   What do we learn about forgiveness from the scripture?   Why is it so important for us?  Why is God everywhere in the scripture so zealously urging us to accept His forgiveness and to forgive each other?

Should We Still Preach Fire and Brimstone – Sermon – December 05 2010

Should We Still Preach Fire and Brimstone ? – Sermon – December 05 2010

After reading Matthew 3: 1-10, do you think after learning about the purpose John the Baptist served announcing Christ’s coming, do you think we still need fire and brimstone preaching like this in church?  Do we still need to hear about the wrath of God, His righteous anger, His vengeance, His destructive power? Or is this a thing of the past?  Do we simply need messages only about love, joy, peace, hope and such things?   Do we need to keep God’s wrath and vengeance clearly on the radar scope of our faith?  Why do you think preachers, rarely preach like John anymore?  Is God any different in the New Testament, from how he was in the Old Testament, aside from Jesus Christ?  Why do the Seeker Sensitive churchs of today avoid preaching about God’s wrath?
