Sunday morning, we continued in Luke 9 and talked about how Jesus resolved conflict.  All of us have been through conflict and most of us would rather avoid it yet conflict is a part of life.  Jesus dealt with His fair share of conflict.  Thus, finding a conflict resolution strategy based on the example of Christ is the best way to learn how to deal with conflict.  In Luke 9:51-56, Jesus gives us a three-step approach to handling conflict; THINKàCORRECTàACT.  THINK before you act, CORRECT yourself and ACT like Jesus.    Sermon by Pastor Dan Squezello At Central Baptist Church, Niles, Ohio On March 24, 2019 Sermon Title: "Conflict Resolution According to Jesus” Scripture Text: Luke 9:51-56 https://archive.org/download/ConflictResolutionAccordingToJesusCENTRALBAPTISTCHURCHNilesOhio03242019/Conflict%20Resolution%20According%20to%20Jesus%20-%20CENTRAL%20BAPTIST%20CHURCH%2C%20Niles%2C%20Ohio%2003242019.mp3

This Sunday morning, we talked about achieving greatness in the eyes of God.  In Luke 9:46-50 we come across an argument that the disciples were having amongst themselves.  They were trying to figure out which one of them would rank the highest when the kingdom of God came upon the earth.  Of course, Christ is the greatest and any attempt to put one’s self above Him is futile.  Yet, Jesus did tell us how we can be considered “great.”  In our text we found that true and genuine greatness, according to Christ, involves three things: (1) Humility, (2) A love for the needy, and (3) team work.  Sermon by Pastor Dan Squezello At Central Baptist Church, Niles, Ohio On March 17, 2019 Sermon Title: "Achieving Greatness” Scripture Text: Luke 9:46-50 https://archive.org/download/AchievingGreatnessCENTRALBAPTISTCHURCHNilesOhio03172019/Achieving%20Greatness%20-%20CENTRAL%20BAPTIST%20CHURCH%2C%20Niles%2C%20Ohio%20-%2003172019.mp3

Sunday morning, I preached about the Transfiguration of Jesus.  This was a very heavy sermon from a theological perspective, yet I ended it with one basic point of application: We all need to open our hearts and minds so that we can see the glory of Christ.  Often, we are distracted from the works of God taking place all around us.  To frequently we focus on the chaos which surrounds our lives and are blind to God’s glory. Stop what you are doing and focus yourself on the work of the Lord.  Put your full trust in Him.       Sermon by Pastor Dan Squezello At Central Baptist Church, Niles, Ohio On March 3, 2019 Sermon Title: "The Transfiguration of Jesus" Scripture Text: Luke 9:28-36 https://archive.org/download/TheTransfigurationOfJesusCENTRALBAPTISTCHURCHNilesOhioMorningService03032019/The%20Transfiguration%20of%20Jesus%20-%20CENTRAL%20BAPTIST%20CHURCH%2C%20Niles%2C%20Ohio%20Morning%20Service%2003032019.mp3

On Sunday nights I have been preaching a follow up sermon to the theme of our Sunday School lesson from earlier in the day.  Sunday morning, we talked about being deceived by false teachings.  John the Apostle has a lot to say about this subject.  His first epistle (1 John) focused quite a bit on combating the false teaching of false prophets.  In 1 John 4:1-6, the Apostle tells us how to combat the false teachings we face?  He tells us to test every teaching (to see if it is from God) and to resist the temptation to fall prey to these false doctrines.  Sermon by Pastor Dan Squezello At Central Baptist Church, Niles, Ohio On February 24, 2019 (Evening Service) Sermon Title: "What is Truth?"

We began the 9th chapter of the gospel of Luke by looking at the story of Jesus sending His twelve disciples out on their own for the first time.  There is a lot Christians today can learn from this event.  Followers of Christ are equipped to serve God through the Holy Spirit.  We are instructed in our service of the Lord through God’s Word.  And we need to trust and obey God’s calling for us to serve Him. Can you honestly say that you trust and obey God today?
