“He Is Risen!” Easter 2013

thisliminalstate

Easter 2013 He Is Risen! (audio file) Christ is Risen! What an amazing truth it is that our Savior lives! Leading up to Easter we have been looking at what Jesus has been doing up to his death and resurrection. We have been focussing on his interactions with those closest to Him. We looked at the disciples and how he reset their understanding of the Christ, that He must go to Jerusalem and be killed and on the third day raised from the dead. I cant say enough how important it is for us to see that truth in our own … Continue reading “He Is Risen!” Easter 2013

thisliminalstate

Palm Sunday 2013 (audio file) This week is another example where my notes are fairly minimal, but I filled things out much more in the sermon. So if things seem strange as you read, listen to the audio. It’s palm Sunday! do you know what that means? It means we wave branches of trees around right? We celebrate and sing songs that say words that we don’t understand, like hosanna! Who knows what that means? It means “Save Now” Well we have seen in the past few weeks that jesus in the last week or so of his life is really … Continue reading Luke 19:28-40 Palm Sunday 2013

Matthew 17-13-28 (audio file for download or streaming)   Well, we finished up our study of James last week. I hope it was a good time for you. I really leaned a lot from it, and I pray that God will remind us all of things that we learned in that study for years to come. What is more important, I pray that we as individuals and as a body will put into practice the lessons and truths that we have learned in James. For the next few weeks, until the Sunday after Easter we will be looking at the crucifixion … Continue reading Matthew 16:13-28 “Who Do You Say That I Am?”

James 5:1-5

thisliminalstate

Open your Bibles please to James 5, we are going to be looking at verses 1-5 If you missed last week, we looked at two ways that our speech reveals our beliefs about God. That if we speak evil against others, or if we boast about our future, we are viewing ourselves as though we are the supreme being. James tells us that we are to remember that there is a God, and we are not Him. This morning, we are going to see yet another text that reveals another way to diagnose our hearts. We are going to hear … Continue reading James 5:1-5

James 4:11-17 What is Your Life?

thisliminalstate

James 4-11-17 (audio file) Here we are again in James. Today we are reading more from Chapter 4. I am actually including part of our text from last week because we didn’t really address it, and it flows into our passage for this week.

He said it was our passions inside of us, passions the want to elevate ourselves and put ourselves on the throne of our hearts, which is an inversion of the created order, … Continue reading James 4:11-17 What is Your Life?
