Sermon July 14, 2007 : The importance of listening well

God is always speaking in some way and the question is, are we listening? I want to look at one example in the Book of Acts, chapter 10. I’m going to look at the example of the Apostle Peter allowing himself to be taught or spoken to by the Lord, and that is one example because it combines a few different modes of God communicating.  Read More »

I hope you had a good week as well, it’s good to have you here tonight. Let me ask you to come with me to the word of the Lord and let’s go into the gospel of Luke, chapter 15, and I’d like to share with you such a well-known parable that really it’s a challenge just to add anything new to it. You know, one of the good things about the word of God is that you can read the same message, you can preach the same message for many, many times and yet there’s always something new that comes out of the word of the Lord, it’s inexhaustible, it really is.  Read More »

Sermon June 16, 2007 : Ephesians 6

Let’s go to the word of the Lord in Ephesians, and I think I’m going to be finishing tonight this lame feet journey through Ephesians. And actually I will end where I started, because many months back, when I was beginning to preach in the context of the English service, I started with this passage and you might remember. I’ve said it before, I know, that having started with this passage of Ephesians chapter 6, I said, well, this is such a powerful epistle, it has always captivated me and intrigued me and so I decided, let’s just go through the whole epistle and since it contains so many foundational truths, let’s just comb through the book and it’s taken us many, many months to finish.  Read More »

Sermon May 26, 2007 : Ephesians 5 - Slaves and Masters

The book of Ephesians, and as you know, my intention originally was to take those 3 categories of relationships: wives and husbands, children and parents, slaves and masters; and look at that as a whole. But the Lord has lead us in a different way and we’ve been studying one group each and so we come to third group tonight, which is slaves obeying masters.  Read More »

Sermon May 19, 2007 : Respect your parents (and all authority)

The book of Ephesians. Let’s actually go to chapter 6. We spent a little time, two Saturdays ago on the end of chapter 5 talking about wives and husbands and how they should relate to each other in marriage. Now, let’s enter into two other groups that the Bible addresses as to how they should relate to each other, one is children and parents, and the others, of course, in the light of the Greek and Roman world that the Apostle Paul was writing to, in light of slaves and masters, but there’s a lot of things that we can adjust to make it applicable also to the time that we’re living in today.  Read More »

And maybe we should start this evening with an observation.  Read More »
