Let us be careful, indeed, to spend a lifetime studying to give honest answers…But after we have done our best to communicate to a lost world, still we must never forget that the final apologetic which Jesus gave is the observable love of true Christians for true Christians.

The Importance of Christian Unity
We cannot expect the world to believe that the Father sent the Son, that Jesus’ claims are true, and that Christianity is true, unless the world sees some reality of the oneness of true Christians.

“Sanctified and Sent, Together”
I don’t often preach “Vision Casting” sermons…but this week’s sermon was an exception. The sermon text was John 17:13-23, a portion of Jesus’ prayer just before He gets arrested and ultimately heads to the cross. But the topic was our “Community Groups”…and particularly the “Third Place” or outreach aspect that our Elders are seeking to pursue. I pray that our congregation’s vision of God is magnified and that our motivation to be about His mission and align ourselves with His priorities is increased.
“Getting Compassion Right” (Jonah 4)
In finishing up our series on the book of Jonah, this sermon allowed me (and our congregation) to consider God’s compassion toward us and the compassion that we should have for fellow sinners still facing His justice. May God be glorified in all of His mercy and justice, drawn together for us in Christ!
