This is a special lesson from one of the works we support. Ron Babbit talks about the work in the inner city of Tulsa, OK.
The Ideal Will of God
As we have delineated God’s will between what God wants and what God has decided to do, we must examine the first of those: God’s will as seen in His commandments and in the life of His son.
(Part 2 in a 3 part series on the will of God. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on October 1, 2017.)
Salt and Light
We are continuing our look at the sermon on the mount, perhaps the most famous sermon of all time. What do salt and light have in common, and why does Jesus use these things as analogies of God’s people? What does this practically mean for His people today?
(Preaching through the Sermon on the Mount. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on March 19, 2017.)
New Years 2017 – A Countdown to Growth
One of the two most common times for countdowns is New Years (the other being races). Let’s countdown four ways to grow both personally and congregationally in the new year.
(This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on January 1, 2017.)
Christmas 2016 – The Birth of Christ Is…
Much of the world celebrates the birth of Christ in December, though that wasn’t when he was born. Yet, the birth of Christ IS worth celebrating, and more than just once a year. Why? What can we learn from this momentous event?
(This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on December 25, 2016.)
Preaching through John – Come and See (John 1:35-51)
Shame and doubt are some of the greatest hindrances in our efforts to reach others with the gospel. What do shame and doubt compel us to do? In the last story in John 1, Jesus, Andrew, and Philip demonstrate the power of confidence and assurance in their simple invitation: come and see.
(Preaching through John. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on July 10, 2016.)
Themes in 1 John – Testimony
One of the major themes in 1 John is testimony, or testifying, the act of telling something you know to be true. John presented his own testimony as a mean of combating doubt and false teaching; how can we testify about the truth of the gospel today? What should our testimony contain?
(This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on May 22, 2106.)
Social Media and the Christian, Part 2: Potential Benefits and Problems
Having established the importance and prevalence of social media in the life of today’s Christian, we now must ask: how can we beneficially use these platforms? What sorts of problems will we face? How might we lead people closer to God, or become a stumbling block to them?
(This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on April 24, 2016.)
Social Media and the Christian Part 1: Should (or How Should) the Christian Use Social Media?
Social media has permeated every area of our lives. As it becomes a bigger part of the American experience, the question is apt: does God’s word have any guidance for us as we engage with this technology? And does it even matter?
(This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on April 17, 2016. For more interesting reading, see the current findings from the Pew Research Center.)
Strength for the Mission – Ephesians 3:7-21
The mission God has for the Church is not easy, but it is worthwhile. What help does God provide to his saints for their great task, and how can we access that help?
(Preaching through Ephesians. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on June 26, 2015. Sorry it has so much echo…)
