New Sermon: An Unhurried Heart
In Matthew 11, Jesus promises if we come to him then he will give us rest. However, there are plenty of people who have professed faith in Christ and would readily admit that they aren’t experiencing anything like rest. Rather, they’re stressed out, busy, overworked, and anxious. Why is there such a disconnect between whatContinue reading “New Sermon: An Unhurried Heart”
New Sermon: From Belief to Trust
In John 20:31 we read, “but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” That’s an incredible promise.

New Sermon: Our Misguided Search for Significance

If we could get a new or better job, income, degree, relationship, house, etc., then we could rest. However, most ofContinue reading “New Sermon: Our Misguided Search for Significance”
Does Inerrancy Make Us Uncritical?
This week I began reading Stephen Neil and Tom Wright’s book The Interpretation of the New Testament: 1861-1986 (yes I know how exciting that sounds). They describe the situation in early critical scholarship of the Bible as follows. In Germany new critical tools were beginning to be used to assess history. Slowly those critical toolsContinue reading “Does Inerrancy Make Us Uncritical?”
Edwards and the Need for Self-Assessment
On a recent trip to Orland I had the opportunity to begin McClymond and McDermott’s massive work entitled “The Theology of Jonathan Edwards.” Before looking at some of the major emphases of his theology they spend the introductory chapters describing his historical, intellectual, and spiritual background. In the chapter dealing with the spirituality of Edwards theyContinue reading “Edwards and the Need for Self-Assessment”
A Heart Like Epaphras
This Sunday, we’re starting a new series at City of God Church working through the book of Colossians. I’m always excited at the start of a new series.

One of those unexpected things I discoveredContinue reading “A Heart Like Epaphras”
