Happy New Year to all! I want to thank all of you who prayed for my health. I am not saying this as a mere formality, but out of sincere gratitude as one who truly feels the benefits of those prayers. Though these prayers were offered for my physical healing, they have filled me with […]

How often do we open the Old Testament only to treat it like a collection of Aesop’s Fables? We tell our children the story of David and Goliath and summarize it with: “Just be brave and face the giants in your life!” When we do this, we turn the Bible into pure moralism. We suggest

We saw the monumental importance of these three verses this morning, both for the personal Christian life and the life of the church. Our fall is so deep that not only must God allow His pure grace to flow to us, but He must also guard that grace continuously so that we do not spoil

A true Christian is a person who was once in the WORST condition (described in verses 1–3) and has been moved to the BEST condition. Furthermore, unless a Christian realizes the depth of their former condition and understands the great work

Ephesians 2:4–6 “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

This is our fifth sermon on just three verses. You might ask, “Pastor, why spend so much time here?” The answer is simple: if you don’t understand the depth of your depravity, you will never understand the height of your salvation. These verses are the foundation of the entire Bible. Most of the lack of
