What does “Christ” mean and why is it such an important word in the Bible? What makes Jesus of Nazareth “the Christ”?
(Preaching on righteousness. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on April 17, 2022.)
Who Will Be Saved?
What is a denomination? How important is the name on the door of the church building? Will only people in a particular “fellowship” be saved? And where have we overstepped Biblical authority to impose conditions that God hasn’t imposed?

Good, But Not Good Enough
As we conclude our discussion of good works, we must address the pitfalls and traps inherent in such a discussion, and situate the concept of doing good in its proper place in our covenant relationship with God.

Daily Dose – The Day of the Lord (2 Peter 3:3-10)
Peter moves on from a rant about false teachers to a reminder about the Day of the Lord. Why hasn’t Jesus returned yet, and what should we learn from his delay?

Who Will Be Saved? Those Who Call
We have teased the idea of “calling on the name of the Lord” several times in this series. Where does this phrase come from, and what does it mean for us?

Who Will Be Saved? Those Who Repent
Having seen that salvation requires some sort of response on our part, we move to the next logical question: how does that response begin? What is the first step in our journey to God?
(Preaching on salvation. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on October 28, 2019.)
Who Will Be Saved? Those Who Obey
Over the last couple weeks we have examined the mental and emotional aspects of salvation: knowledge and belief. Is that where it stops? Is everyone who accepts the Bible as true going to be saved?
