In this sermon, we consider the important teaching of Jesus on rebuke, repentance, and forgiveness. There is much practical help that we need to do this constructively. More important than practical help, we must remember the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ toward us and follow his life and teaching. May this teaching help us all to deal with sin among believers and be characterized by humility and forgiveness.

In this sermon Pastor Tim speaks about Jesus' warnings about temptations that are sure to come. These temptations can arise within the church and lead people astray. Here are lessons for those being tempted and would-be tempters.

In this sermon, we are going to consider what happened to Christ's soul (or spirit) after his physical death before his ascension to the Father. Throughout the message, we will learn about Christ's dominion over sin and death, and how he is the supreme ruler over all realms, including heaven, earth, and hell. The Scriptures point to Christ as the great victor over sin and death for those who have put their trust in him as the Messiah.

This sermon considers two men: a rich man and a poor man named Lazarus. Both died and we get a glimpse into the place of the dead. While learning about the afterlife, this sermon focuses on why Jesus told this story. We must recognize the sufficiency of the Scriptures for salvation and the need to respond to God's truth with repentance and faith.

In an age where skepticism abounds, this text reminds us of the surety of the resurrection. Christianity is not a philosophy or principles for living, it is God working in history to save a people through the physical death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. In this sermon we consider the essential nature of the resurrection, its factual basis in history, and finally its product of a living hope.

We need this reminder of our living, conquering Christ!

This is the third part of a sermon series on the Trinity. We examine 6 different passages in Jesus' words in John 14-16 to understand the nature and work of the Holy Spirit. We see that the Spirit is another Helper, presently indwelling; the truth Teacher, eternally proceeding; and the great Reprover, constantly testifying. The Holy Spirit is confused today and what we must understand that where the Spirit is present, Christ is exalted and the gospel is magnified. May this sermon aid your understanding of God and increase your love for God.
