Sermons About Cross
Jesus Dies For What?
Why did Jesus die? Did He have to die in order for us to be saved? How did He die? Could Jesus have just fallen out of heaven and landed on a cross and die and still accomplish the atonement? What does propitiation, penal substitutionary atonement, and expiation mean? Jesus loves me but could I say He has authority over my life? All these questions are answered in this teaching.

God's Love for His People
As Paul challenges husbands about loving their wives, he bases that challenge in the incomparable love that God has for His people, a love seen most clearly in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the church. It is this picture that challenges not only husbands, but all of us with the question, "Do I love what God loves? Do I love the church?"

An Emerging Humanity
This is a message from Colossians 3:9-17. Becoming what Christ has saved us to be requires not only the putting off of old ways, but the putting on of new practices, embracing his peace, and having his word dwelling in our hearts.

A Reformed-Charismatic Approach to Worship
Worship is first drawing near to God through the blood of Christ, something we should not take for granted, since before Christ's victory over sin very few people had the privilege of drawing near to God. In our worship, we are to commune with God through the means of grace, such as preaching, God's word, baptism, the Lord's supper. But we are also to encounter and experience God through the work of the Holy Spirit as expressed through the gifts of the spirit -- God is truly near to his people, and is present in corporate worship in a unique way.
