MY Sermons

How do I know if I am saved?

Wed, 2 Jul 2008 15:31:06 -0700

I have wanted to preach this sermon for a while, but was never sure quite how to do it. I use this question to finish up a month long focus on the second coming. In my time I have heard this question asked many times. If I were to generalize, mostly from older people, but there might be times in all of our lives we question the validity of our salvation. If this message does not hit the spot, read Romans 3 and 4. It has taken me a few days to get it up here - a couple of technical difficulties I hope are now sorted.

How About Them Three Angels

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:36:32 -0700

(think this version will work better) An Adventist sermon, with a 2008 life twist... ok, not really much of a twist! But in this message I show how our lives now are a lot like Babylon, and the fiery furnace for the 3 hebrews. We are told Babylon (you know, the bad stuff will fall, this was the message to Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel and his three friends too. Nebuchadnezzar tried to make Babylon never fall with the image of gold, and the 3 Hebrews had to decide who they were going to believe, God or the dreaming King. We have to decide today - whether to follow the commandments of God and keep the faith in Jesus, or go for Babylon. Not sure there is much middle ground. I hope you enjoy.

The End Justifies the Means

My voice barely held out for this one - and we had mic issues at the beginning - I nearly didn’t post it at all! But I have edited the worst of it all out - and you should be left with the first of my summer “Second Coming” messages. Our church is often open to the accusation of sitting around and waiting for Jesus to come. Depending on the state of our lives we might be very happy to wait, or, pretty desperate that Jesus doesn’t come back sooner. So I have gone to a well known and much loved Adventist text - I Thess 4:13-18 and explored the notion of a wait worthwhile - in a message called here - The End Justifies the Means.

Connect the Dots

Sat, 24 May 2008 10:31:01 -0700

A bit of a sudden start as the multi media was a bit too visual for a podcast! However, if you have a photo ipod, some of pictures will change through this one, as I use the maze analogy quite a bit on this one. This message is about prophecy, not a specific one, but the role of prophecy in our church and individual lives.

The Urgency of the Gospel

Wed, 21 May 2008 08:49:58 -0700

I always struggle when presenting a traditional Adventist message. Times change, and while the Word is certainly still the Word, we grow, our church grows and and so does our understanding of God and the Gospel. My first draft of this was almost completely opposite in its application - but here you will hear a message that calls you to the urgency of the Gospel, while acknowledging a very, very patient God.
