http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlcyNiueBLo In this lesson we begin our year-long venture into Genesis and Exodus to look for God's revelation of Himself in Christ and the hope of the gospel that has been preached from the beginning. GENESIS I have attached my lesson outline for personal reference and study purposes.
10 Commandments- Keeping the Name of God
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnxB2gRkvmQ REVIEW An important note from last week's lesson is that the whole of the law and prophets rests on the premise of God's redemptive act: Deut. 5:6 Hosea 13:4 Example- Lev.19:36- note that God appeals to His redemption of Israel as the base for why Israel must have honest scales; this is the case …
10 Commandments: the idolatry commandments
This is the first lesson in our series on the 10 Commandments. We begin with the first two commandments on idolatry. Our objective is to expose the deeds of idolatry and turn our fellowship away from idols with the ultimate end that we might "come out and be separate". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx9HenFVnBc
Worship From the Fires of Suffering
A few weeks back I had one of the most painful weeks of my life: Multiple Sclerosis teamed up with a bout of Shingles and Satan didn't miss the opportunity to shoot his fiery arrows. To be honest, that is the pretty version; the plain version is that my mind was bogged down in the "M.S. fog", …
Longing For Recognition & Justification: The LGBT Community
The immense human desire for "recognition" and "justification" has relentlessly driven the LGBT movement to unprecedented heights of political and social achievements; if you consider that estimates place figures between 2% and 11% of the population consider themselves to be in the LGBT community, their social and political advances are astonishing.

And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who …
Important Questions: Baptism

Baptism is an important topic that is considered "elementary" to the Church, that is, it is foundational to the Church. Yet because there are so few scriptures it can also be a difficult topic to address. SCRIPTURES: 1st …
Exposition of 1st Corinthians 1:1-9
Paul's epistles to the Corinthians are an incredibly timely message for the Church in the U.S. Corinth was an epicenter of trade, wealth, political power, culture, and idolatrous religion; the ancient world made the term "corinthianize" synonymous with "practice evil". Amidst all this wickedness and spiritual oppression, the Holy Spirit inspires Paul to pen a …
Walk Humbly With Your God
We began this sermon series under the great conviction of our desperate need for a complete renewing in humility. This series is less of a "comprehensive" series on the subject, and more about the seeds God has placed in our hearts that are growing to bear fruit in our lives. Our desire is to walk …
Observe Christmas Unto the Lord
Every year I struggle with Christmas: I have no struggle with taking time to come together with family to enjoy one another’s company, exchange some modest gifts, and get caught up, but, I have always struggled with a “Christmas” that is absent of Christ and full of “Self”; which is surely the antithesis of Christ …
