As we consider the good works we should devote ourselves to, we must begin with the first work and primary motivator: love.

Serving to Save
As we continue our series on “Treasures in Heaven”, we transition from the what to the how. How can we start “laying up” these treasures?

Daily Dose – Christian Qualities (2 Peter 1:3-11)
What kind of people should Christians be? What kind of characteristics or qualities should they posses?
(Daily walk through 2 Peter. Recorded for the Dewey Church of Christ on May 5, 2020.)
The Virtue of Patience
What is patience, and where does it come from? What does it mean to be patient? And, how can we live patiently right now?
(Recorded for the Dewey Church of Christ on May 3, 2020.)
Daily Dose – Stewards of God’s Grace (1 Peter 4:7-11)
What does Peter mean when he says that “love covers a multitude of sins”? Why and how can Christians love in that way, and for whose benefit should we do so?

The Christian Ethos in Crisis
This past week, COVID-19 really started impacting our country. It has been sweeping the globe for a while now. As the world starts to simultaneously panic and lock down, how should Christians respond? What should we be thinking and feeling? How should we act? Fortunately, God is not silent about what He expects from His people.

No Other Gospel: Love God, Love Others – Galatians 6
At the conclusion the letter, Paul reinforces the two main themes of the New Testament: love God and love others! How does Paul specifically expect the Galatians to fulfill these commands, and what about us?

Getting to Know God – His Nature
We are told in Romans 1 that at least some part of God’s divine nature can be known through “the things that are made”. What is the nature of deity, and how much of it can we really know?
(This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on September 10, 2017. The very beginning got cut off, so it beings somewhat abruptly.)
Preaching Through John – God So Loved (John 3:16-21)
I imagine many (if not most) of us can quote John 3:16. But how about verses 15 or 17? What about John 3:18? John 3:16 is an iconic, powerful verse to be sure, but it is only in the context of John 3:1-21 that we see why God’s love is so amazing.

Themes in 1 John – Transformational Love
Do we obey God because we love Him, or do we love Him because we keep the commandments of scripture? Or is it both? Or maybe there is some third, deeper, more complicated option. What does it mean to love God anyway?
(This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on June 5, 2016.)
