What Is Your Isaac? - Hebrews 11:17-19 - Aug 27, 2008 - 1162
Certain Bible stories need no introduction. They are so well known that even people outside the church who may never actually read the Bible have heard them. Adam and Eve. Noah and the ark. Moses at the Red Sea. Joshua and the walls of Jericho. David and Goliath. Daniel in the lions’ den. An ... More
Christmas Hope - Hebrews 6:18-20 - Dec 24, 2000 - 97
This is Christmas Eve. Even though there is no command in the New Testament to celebrate Christmas, we happily join with millions of Christians around the world in remembering the birth of our Savior. “Joy to the world, the Lord is come!” And because he was born in Bethlehem, “the ... More
From Jacob to Jesus - Genesis 49:10; Luke 1:33 - Dec 6, 1992 - 355
Our final study in the life of Jacob is different from all the rest. When we began, he was still in his mother’s womb. When Genesis brings his story to a close, he is buried in the cave of Machpelah, along with his father and grandfather. In between, this man of restless faith never stopped ... More
Birth of a Heel-Grabber - Genesis 25:19-26 - Aug 23, 1992 - 356
There are many different ways to study the Bible. You can, for instance, study it analytically, taking each verse and each phrase and even each word in succession. Or you could study it doctrinally, tracing the great teachings of the Bible through the 66 books of Holy Scripture. You could study i ... More
The Ultimate Test - Genesis 22 - Jun 30, 1996 - 26
Several times in this sermon series I have pointed out that a particular portion of Abraham’s story is well-known to the people of the world. For instance, many people know about Abraham and Sarah leaving Ur of the Chaldees at the ages of 75 and 65 respectively, not knowing where they were go ... More
Taking God Seriously - Matthew 6:9 - Oct 5, 2009 - 1218
“Hallowed be your name.” Matthew 6:9 Before we begin: What does the word “hallowed” mean? What does God’s name represent and why does it matter so much? It was late on Wednesday afternoon and my three sons and I had just arrived at a motel in Page, Arizona. Looki ... More
Invitation to the Heart of God - Matthew 6:9 - Oct 3, 2009 - 1216
“This, then, is how you should pray." Matthew 6:9 Before we begin: How old were you when you first learned the Lord’s Prayer? How often do you pray the Lord’s Prayer? Why does this prayer (of all the prayers in the Bible) matter so much? Come with me to Stuttgart, Germany in ... More

“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them” (Acts 16:25).You discover your theology at midnight.Until then, it’s all theoretical. When midnight comes, you discover the difference between theory and reality. I ... More
The Incomparable Christ: “Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord” - Philippians 2:9-11 - Feb 15, 2004 - 647
Who is Jesus Christ? Of all the questions that might be posed to modern men and women, none is more important than this. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the central question of history and the most important issue anyone will ever face. Who is Jesus Christ? Where did he come from? Why did ... More
Six Miles From Jesus - Matthew 2:1-6 - Dec 22, 2009 - 1233
How long would it take to walk six miles? If you are in good shape, you could walk it in a couple of hours. If the terrain is relatively flat, you could easily cover six miles in an afternoon. That’s not much of a hike. If you wanted to walk from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, it’s only six m ... More
If God is Sovereign, Why Pray? - Matthew 6:8 - Jan 4, 1998 - 523
When we surveyed the congregation last year several people asked this question. I would suppose that most Christians have wondered about it at one time or another. Certainly skeptics have thrown it in our faces to discourage us from seeking the Lord in times of crisis. I would be less than honest if ... More
