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.

This is the second part of a sermon series on the Trinity. This sermon examines John 1:14 and the phrase "the only Son from the Father" or "the only begotten from the Father." We explore the doctrine of the eternal generation of the Son considering why this makes known the unity and the relationship of Father and Son in God. Finally, this sermon considers three practical applications with exhortations considering this doctrine.

This is the first part of a sermon series on the Trinity. We are confronted with the mystery of God that is incomparable to anything else. In John 1:1 we examine an incredible statement that gives us insight into the nature of God before the world was. We see in this one verse revelation of the unity and plurality that is God. Here is an opportunity for us to worship and know God through his perfect revelation in Jesus Christ.
