1 John 4:7-18

Psalm 97 History is filled with stories of conquest. Alexander the Great conquering Greece, Asia Minor, the Middle East and the Persian empire, even into India. His conquest was shockingly swift. He brought a hellenization to his conquered lands, seeking to unite the East and the West with a common, syncretistic culture. A few centuries

Psalm 96

Psalm 95 Worship is ascribing worth. What is the worth of the Lord? His worth is beyond the universe, which is merely a reflection of His glory.  

Psalm 94 One of my favorite movies over the years is Gladiator. It tells the story of a Roman General who has been faithful and effective in his service to Rome and the Emperor. But when the emperor is killed by his son, the general is viewed as a threat and is betrayed. His family

Psalm 93 Niether my mother or mother-in-law will drive in Houston. The size of I-10, the volume of the traffic, and the chaos of bringing drivers together from all over the world with their imported driving habits is terrifying. You can attest. So when my mother-in-law comes to town and we pick her up from

Psalm 92 I think I will write you a prescription for joy this morning. I can do it. I have been granted access to it, only it isn’t in pill form. I’d like to write you a prescription to join me in corporate worship every Sunday. Worship of the Lord leads to joy and a

Psalm 91 When I was in the 5th grade, my family moved into a house in which my room shared a wall with my parents’ room. That’s when I realized my sister was scared of the dark. She is 3 years younger than me and on some nights, I would be laying in bed and

Psalm 90 Wisdom. If I could bottle it, would I make a fortune? It’s what everyone knows they need. But it isn’t at the top of many people’s list. Most of us are more eager to pursue things that are exciting, interesting, or attention grabbing. Wisdom can seem like broccoli: good for you, but much

John 8:4-18

Romans 8:18-30

John 15:1-17 God calls His people to bear fruit. He has joined us to the true vine and actively works to prune and dress his vineyard.

Mark 15:1-39 As you may have noticed, the world we live in is increasingly divided. People are divided over politics, practices, and faith perspectives. And it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. When we look across the world we see Biblical Christianity growing. And we also see devout secularism growing. The middle is losing

Revelation 2:1-7 Back in 2007/2008 I had a few friends in college who were marines that had recently returned from a tour in Iraq and, naturally, they had many stories to tell. I remember one story where my friend and his squad were set up around a city that they were preparing to invade at

Mark 14:22-72 I know this is a long passage and we’re not going to explore each verse but rather make some observations of the overarching story. It begins with the institution of the Lord’s Supper, something we celebrate each week. It is the reason that Jesus endured this fateful night. I think it is grossly

Mark 14:1-21 With chapter 14 the plot to kill Jesus takes an ominous step forward and his final hours are described in great detail. It’s as if Mark has been rushing us to this moment with his familiar phrase, “and immediately…” until this moment that all of redemptive history has been preparing for, when Jesus

Mark 13:28-37 This morning we wrap up our look at the Olivette discourse in Mark 13. As Jesus left Jerusalem the week of his death he teaches on the destruction of the temple that his disciples so admired. While it should be a text that further establishes Jesus as sent from God for giving such

Mark 13:24-27 This morning we are in week 3 of our look at the Olivette discourse, which was a conversation that took place between Jesus and some of his disciples on the Mount of Olive just a few days before his death on the cross. It was prompted the Jesus’ statement about the temple: that

Ephesians

Mark 13:3-23 “Signs of the Times” is a phrase that has weaved its way into our culture. Every time we hear of some new disturbing thing taking place in the world someone asks, “is this the end? We must be seeing the signs of the times. What else could it be?” Why has this penetrated
