Its a five Sunday month. That means we take a planned break from our typical series and enjoy a topical sermon. Today’s sermon is entitled Getting the Most of Preaching (though I changed the post title for the blog). It features an introduction establishing the preeminence of preaching in the congregation, and then a practical set of tips for getting the most…

Our sermon for today is taken from [esvignore]2 Samuel 5:1-5[/esvignore]. Finally, after all of this time, David is crowned King of all Israel. We will examine four characteristics of David’s Kingdom as revealed in our text, and will then learn what sort of response is appropriate for such a king as David. Our public reading was [esvignore]John 10:1-18[/esvignore]. 2 Samuel 5:1-5 John…
Our sermon will cover a large portion of scripture, almost two entire chapters of Old Testament narrative. We do so because of the nature of the topic we will draw out from the narrative. Our sermon is entitled “The Terrible, Grievous, Off-putting Ugliness of Sin,” and that should give a hint about where our time will be invested. I am convinced that…
Our sermon is entitled There Was a Long War and is taken from [esvignore]2 Samuel 3:1-5[/esvignore]. In this message we will examine the frustration of living in a world where the Kingdom of God progresses at what seems to us to be a snail’s pace. All the while, evil seems so powerful and overwhelming. This passage also reminds us that as we…
Our message is entitled “When the Enemy Comes.” We will examine [esvignore]2 Samuel 2:12-32[/esvignore], which is a historical narrative and a very action-packed account of a battle. We will take several lessons from this account by looking at the combatants, the nature of the action, kingdom opposition by sinful men, and then we will look at 8 practical ways to deal with…
Our sermon is entitled “Small Beginnings,” and we will have several good lessons from David’s rise to a throne. The text, [esvignore]2nd Samuel 2:1-11,[/esvignore] is conveniently divided up for us into several sections: 1.) Priorities, 2.) The Kingdom on Earth – with a review of typology and its importance; 3.) Small Beginnings; 4.) Monkey Wrench; and 5.) Lessons for Insignificant Churches. Our…
Our message is an unusual theme in most church pulpits unless there is a funeral. This is one of the benefits of expository preaching – it forces preachers to handle those topics we would not be quick to choose. In doing so, God equips His people more thoroughly. It also means that we speak frankly of things often not spoken of because…
We return to the Old Testament today after an eight week study in Titus. We begin the book of [esvignore]2nd Samuel[/esvignore], and we will pick up the story of David where we left it off. We will cover [esvignore]verses 1-16[/esvignore]. In this first chapter, we pick up in the dark days of Israel’s military loss to the combined Philistine army. During that…
This is our last sermon from the epistle of Titus. In this final message, we cover [esvignore]Titus 3:8-15[/esvignore]. Paul finishes with some last instructions that we will examine in these four sections: Fruit of Salvation Avoid Divisive Issues Avoid Divisive People A Healthy and Distinct People of Grace. Our Public reading was[esvignore]James 2:14-26[/esvignore] Titus 3:8-15 James 2:14-26
Our sermon is entitled “Paul’s Gospel of Jesus Christ.” We will be in [esvignore]Titus 3:1-7.[/esvignore] If you would like a head start on section headers, the message breaks down like so: 1. Reminder 2. The Gospel According to Paul a. Need for Salvation b. Source of Salvation c. Ground of Salvation d. Means of Salvation e. Goal of Salvation 3. How Do…
