In this brief sermon reprise we will see how God’s Word encourages us to pray by focusing on a reality about God and us. Though we may not know God’s thoughts except through His Word, God does know our thoughts without the need of our words. So how does this impact our prayers? That will be the focus of this episode.…

Jesus explains how we are to be like him and how to allow his Holy Spirit to dwell within us, which is the only way we can have a true heart change.

How does the kingdom of God grow? The parable of the mustard seed is two fold. It shows how faith grows in us and in turn grows the kingdom of God.

What else can we learn from seeds? Nature has never ending living sermons. We like the seed must cooperate with the eternal life source to bear good fruit.

Jesus tells us the wheat and tares grow together until the end of the age. We have this problem of wanting to uproot the tares instead of focusing on producing fruit. Will there even be tares in the church? What should be done?

As we continue with our look into the parables of Jesus. Jesus answers the questions that humanity uses as “evidence” for it’s unbelief. Why does evil exist? Why does God allow it to continue if He is so good, so loving?

In the parable of the wheat and tares Jesus establishes that there is good and evil. That He is the way the truth and the life. If there is a difference between good and evil then there has to be a unchangeable law that governs that.

Finishing the parable of the sower we take a look at the good ground. What makes this ground suitable for the gifts of God? Why can it be called good?

Jesus said something can actually choke the Word of God out of our lives. He identified them as thorns. What are these thorns? That will be the focus of our study in the episode.

Jesus continues in his parable of the sower and what happens when his seed (his word), grows up with the thorns (the cares of this world). Will we allow the sons of sin choke out are child like faith?

The seed that falls on the rocky area joyfully receives God’s word but has a shallow experience with it. Grace does more than save, it changes the stone and makes it flesh.

As we start our new series on the parables of Jesus, we start to take a look at the soils. The wayside, what happens? Why is this soil so quick to give up?

This is the most difficult one of all the principles to apply in our marriages. Forgiveness. What is forgiveness, and more importantly, what is it not? How do I relate to forgiveness and and abusive/unfaithful spouse? We explore these questions and see how the Bible responds.

One of the most challenging principles to apply, listening before speaking. And when speaking, doing so tactfully and wisely.

In this episode we learn the importance of and how to stick to the issue at hand.

Timing. This is what we explore as ways to handling conflict in marriage, the timing in which we bring up issues that could very well lead to conflict.

Brief meditation on one of the strongest emotions that we can experience - anger.

How does God work through the difficulties of our lives so we can discover what we truly believe about Him? The answer we find in the Scriptures is as amazing as it is unexpected.

Before we dive into our new series on the parables of Jesus, we seek to explore why He gave the majority of His teachings this way. It will encourage you and motivate to grow in your spiritual journey.

This is the fourth message of the sermon series on covenant marriage.

In this second part we explore how the Bible relates to pornography and masturbation. This is one of the most important messages and insights the Lord has provided me. I pray it blesses and guides your decisions in regards to your own sexuality. This was originally a presentation on 3ABN for a program called Engage. Pastors Jay Rosario and Dan McRa…

There are foundational principles in the Bible as to how we are to understand sex. This is one of the most important messages and insights the Lord has provided me.

The third sermon in the Marriage Covenant” series.

Is there anything reliable anymore? Everyone goes through life believing in something, but is it solid, never disappointing? A house built upon the rock faces storms but still stands.

“Not all that say ‘Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” Words that bring fear to most Christians. What is the deciding factor in our relationship with God?

This was our sermon during our tour of the Historic Adventist Village, in Battle Creek, MI.

This is the third and final part of our first sermon in the series on marriage. In this first sermon of our series, we are studying the three foundational covenant phases of marriage - leaving, joining, and becoming.

Can someone claim to be a messenger of God, sound very nice and still be a wolf in sheep’s clothing? How can we be sure in what we believe?

We begin the lesson for these next three months entitled “The Least of These” exploring not IF we should care, or HOW to care, but more importantly WHY we should care. When we understand the “why,” all the other answers will naturally follow.

How is it that the gospel of Christ goes to all and yet narrow is the way? Is there a difference between accepting grace and living a life of faith? If God is in the business of eternal life what keeps us from entering it?

Right after Jesus tells us not to judge, he tells us to use our judgment and know when it’s time to move on from someone. Who, how, why, when should we move on from someone? And is that it? Is there anything we do afterward?

One of the most misused verses today. What does Jesus mean when he tells us not to judge? Is judging people a “Christian” problem or a human problem? How can it be avoided and ultimately is it really part of a bigger problem?

Jesus tells us to “seek first the kingdom of God.” Sounds great! But how? With so much confusion about God’s word where should we even start? What exactly are we looking for? What is really the goal?

Often times we ask the question, “What’s to gain by worry?” Really what we should ask is “what do we lose?” Do our pursuits of life, trump our relationship with Christ? Can we have peace without him?

Fasting? Ugh, sounds a lot like works. Fasting sounds like more of a Old Testament thing, Jesus doesn’t really care about fasting does he? Is there really any significance?

The act of forgiving, we know we should but why? Why is it so important to Jesus that we forgive each other? Can’t we just believe and not worry about our relationship with others?

Jesus continues to warn us of our issues of pride. But can it really continue over into our prayer life? Is there really a “right way” to pray?
