I try to connect Scripture to real life with tact and sincerity. No single sermon can say it all or say it perfectly, yet each sermon is part of a strategy to help you appreciate and understand the whole Bible better over time.
I hope you will find spiritual nourishment in these sermons...

“Growing Together”
During these latter Summer and Fall months, we are continue to hear God's word from selections of Paul's letters in the New Testament. These letters were originally written to early Christian communities to help them put the gospel (good news) into practice for the first time. The death and resurrection of Jesus from the dead, the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit, and the promise of eternal life have transforming implications for how Christians are to live. Since we, as contemporary Christians, are also seeking to apply the gospel to our lives, these letters help us to shape our own life as a community of faith.
September 7. Philemon 1-21. Identity Appeal. Paul appeals to love and reconciliation in the gospel community to effect change in a sticky situation.
September 14. 1 Timothy 1:12-17. Object Lesson of Mercy. Paul acknowledges that he is a recipient of divine mercy as he mentors Timothy with strong guidance.
September 21. 1 Timothy 2:1-7. Praying for all. Paul has suffered in the public square, yet he urges prayer in goodwill for the welfare of believers and unbelievers alike.
