Sermons

Admit it,  every now and then, what you really need is someone to come along and give you a good kick in the backside to prompt you get up, get out and get done what you need to do. 

Not everyone is willing to put your best interests above all, including their own interests.  Friends like that are tough to find, but David found one in the son of his nemesis of all places!

 In our world it is easy to become jaded, cynical and skeptical.  Everyone is out for their own.  Everyone is working an angle.  You need someone in your life who is able to dream about what could be to balance out all the voices griping over what currently is.

It takes a special person to be able to speak into your life and challenge your errors in thought or action in a way that leaves you wanting to say thank you.  That’s what Nathan did for King David.   Life Editors like Nathan are not easy to find, but they are worth the effort.

The Christian life is not lived in a vacuum which means at times it will not be easy.  There are forces that will challenge and work against our attempts to follow Christ.  Paul closes his letter with some advise on how to stand firm against those forces.

Our relationship with God shapes our relationships with everyone else.

 God  provides us with new life complete with instructions on how that new life is best lived.

Was Jesus a real person?  Did He really live?  Was He really crucified?  Is it possible He actually rose from the dead?  Is the gospel story fact or fiction?  And if it is true, what are the implications?
