October 8, 2017 I don’t have time for an attention-grabbing introduction this morning. You see, today we are talking about Christ Alone. And so, we could and perhaps should spend the rest of our lives on this topic. After all, Christ is the central figure of Scripture. And so, I struggled all week contemplating […]
FIVE SOLAS (Sola Scriptura)
October 1, 2017 You’ve been hearing a about it recently, and you’ll hear more in the weeks to come. On October 31, 1517, a thirty-three year old Augustinian monk named Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Actually written in Latin, it was an invitation to his […]
PSALM 46 & LUTHER
September 24, 2017 If you have your Bible, turn to Psalm 46. When Scott returns next week, he is going to lead us in five-week series on the theology of the Protestant Reformation. I know we’re so close to finishing our study on the gospel of Mark, but the month of October is an […]
MARK 14:66-72
September 10, 2017 So, how are you doing? No, I don’t mean today – Sundays are kind of like spiritual pep rallies, right? We gather in the gym and the cheerleaders – that’s the worship team – they lead us in some cheers. 2-4-6-8, who do we appreciate – Jesus. A principal stands up […]
MARK 14:53-65
September 3, 2017 A miscarriage of justice is defined as “a failure of a court or judicial system to attain the ends of justice, especially one that results in the conviction of an innocent person.” Or, I would add, lack of conviction of a guilty person. It seems to be the basis for much […]
MARK 14:43-52
August 27, 2017 Every year, the US publishes a list of the most popular children’s names for the previous year. So, for example, in 2016, the most popular girl’s name was – anybody want to guess? Sophia. The most popular boy’s name was, guesses? Jackson. As I read through the top 100 names, while […]
MARK 14:32-42
August 20, 2017 We’re going to begin this morning with some participation. I’m going to put a sentence on the screen – subject and verb. The verb, as you may remember from school expresses action. I’ll give you an example – here’s the sentence – Jesus taught. So the subject is Jesus and the […]
MARK 14:26-31
August 13, 2017 From the very beginning, Jesus promised His followers would suffer. Severe persecution, even martyrdom. For example, in His first recorded sermon (Matthew 5), Jesus said, “Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you […]
MARK 14:12-26
August 6, 2017 Everyone likes good news. Good news, it’s a boy. Good news, it’s a girl. Good news, she said her first word today – no. Good news, he took his first steps today – told you he’d do it before kindergarten. Good news, she got her report card today – all A’s. […]
MARK 14:1-11
July 30, 2017 If you’ve been at Alliance, you know I usually spend some time on the introductions to my sermons. I try to think of something catchy – whether it’s a story or a picture or a humorous anecdote or I’ll grab something from the headlines, or, my personal favorite, something from history. […]
