While it is nice that we can meet for worship in a virtual space, there are some key aspects of physical fellowship that can’t be replicated. What are they, and why are they so important?

Overcoming Discouragement – Overcoming With Jesus
We know that Jesus felt discouraged; what does this mean about discouragement? How did Jesus overcome and triumph? (NOTE: The first few minutes didn’t get recorded.)
(Preaching on discouragement. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on September 15, 2019.)
When God Says No
The last month has been a crucible. Born out of that crucible are about six sermon ideas that we will work through together in the wake of Stan’s death. This first sermon is one I stole from Doug Burleson and then slightly modified for my own use. He preached it at the Estes Church of Christ the Sunday after the funeral and I thought it was very powerful. Thanks for the outline Doug.

The Last Week – What Jesus Wants for His Church
Jesus’s final words before his betrayal and arrest are a prayer, for his apostles and the people who would eventually be his church. What does he pray for, and what does this tell us about his desires?
(Preaching through John’s Gospel. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on November 4, 2018.)
The Armor of God – Conclusion: Part of An Army
So you have put on the armor of God. Now what?

Daniel 9 – A Model of Confession
So much focus is given to the last few verses of Daniel 9, the “Seventy Weeks.” However, the first part of the chapter is far more applicable to the modern Christian, and in fact, the meaning of the seventy weeks is wrapped up in the prayer of Daniel.

Daniel 6 – The Law of His God
The story of the lion’s den is probably the most famous story in the book of Daniel. In this chapter, we see what may be the most important aspect of Daniel’s character.

The Church that Doesn’t Believe in the Holy Spirit
Last week we asked: what exactly are miracles, and do they occur today? This week we examine an offshoot of that discussion: what about the Holy Spirit? What sort of things are we told about the work of the Holy Spirit in the world today?
(Preaching on common misunderstandings. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on July 16, 2017.)
Ask, Seek, & Knock
What do asking, seeking, and knocking have in common? Why does Jesus stress their importance, and what is he trying to teach his audience about having a relationship with the Father?
(Preaching through the sermon on the mount. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on May 7, 2017.)
Secret Righteousness
In Matthew 6, Jesus continues his teaching on true righteousness by using three different examples. In these examples, he highlights the importance of our motivation in doing righteous things.
