Eph 2-3: The Multi-faceted Mystery of the Messiah (pt3 of 3)

July 14, 2013 By ray

This mystery of the Messiah is revealed to Paul and for the first time to his generation. It doesn’t stop there, though. Interestingly, a second audience is mentioned. Eph 3:8-10– Eph 3 8 This grace was given to me—the least of all the saints—to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches of the Messiah, 9 and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things.… Read more

Book of Ephesians – Prayer: Life is a Battle for Your Soul (pt2 of 3)

July 7, 2013 By ray

Church is where people are saved by God and where people grow spiritually. But church is also where some of the most hurtful things occur. Church issues that arise because of Satan’s attacks are fairly obvious. Scandals, abuse, unforgiveness, gossip, slander, and eventually the church splits. Satan loves nothing more than tearing churches apart.… Read more

Book of Galatians – Teaching #3: Counterfeit Fruit vs. Real Fruit (pt1 of 3)

June 17, 2013 By ray

We have been studying the book of Galatians over the past few weeks. Today, we are going to wrap up the fruit of the Spirit and cover Gal 6 next week and then it’s onto Ephesians, which is a fantastic book. It will be of interest to many of you who are single that Eph 5 is the famous passage about Biblical marriage.… Read more

2 Corinthians 4 – Teaching #3: The Gospel of Christ (pt1 of 3)

April 29, 2013 By ray

Main thesis: Sin makes us crave darkness, produces ignorance and causes us to pursue self-glory while the gospel shines light, illumines minds and frees us to pursue the glory of God. I want you to be able to walk away from this sermon with this one line. Sin does 3 things and the gospel does 3 things.… Read more

2 Corinthians – Teaching #1: Repentance and the Reality of Spiritual Battle (pt3 of 3)

April 9, 2013 By ray

Instead of binding you with religion, Paul said, you were not bound under my leadership. Actually, as an apostle, I will allow myself to be bound for your sake. For the sake of church planting and missions, I will endure whatever hardships come my way because Satan doesn’t want God’s work to advance.… Read more

Matthew 4 – The Temptation of Jesus (pt1 of 4)

May 29, 2012 By ray

Read Matt 4:1-11. Last time, I spoke from Matthew 2 and 3 and we covered repentance and how true repentance is demonstrated by fruit. Nothing else determines the authenticity of our repentance. Not sincerity, not emotions, not tears, not church attendance. Only fruit matters. So here in Matthew 4:17, right after the temptation of Christ, Jesus begins his ministry with the statement–“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” Before we can talk about grace, before we can talk about salvation and eternity and God’s plan and purpose for your life, we have to talk about repentance.… Read more
