Daily Dose – God’s People (1 Peter 2:9-12)
1 Peter 2:9-12 serves as the core thesis of the letter. Everything before leads up to it and everything after explains it. How should this central text apply to us?
(Daily walk through 1 Peter. This was recorded for the Dewey Church of Christ on April 9, 2020.)
Daily Dose – The Cornerstone (1 Peter 2:4-8)
One of the more common analogies for the church is a structure, or building, which Peter uses in 1 Peter 2. Why is this so important, and what part does Jesus play in this analogy?

Holiday Matters – What Were They Thankful For?
For the rest of the year (the holiday season) we will be looking at topics that are on people’s minds, or that people are inclined to think about. We begin this week with thanksgiving!

God’s Intended Support Network

What Kills the Church
(NOTE: the sermons in this series from July 22 – August 5 are lost to time. Sorry.)

Why I am Thankful for the Church
It is easy to complain about all the things that are wrong with the church because fundamentally, we are really complaining about people. But what about the amazing things Christ established the church for? I am certain that if you simply looked around, you would see truly wonderful things taking place where you are, things that can truly inspire thanksgiving.
(This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on January 17, 2016.)
The Way it was Meant to Be – Ephesians 4:17-32
Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? These are the big three questions of life, and God has an answer. How can we find true meaning and purpose for our lives?
(Preaching through Ephesians. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on August 16, 2015.)
Diff’rent Strokes – Ephesians 4:6-16
While God desires unity in His Church, does that mean we should all be uniformly the same? How do our differences contribute to and increase the unified strength of the Lord’s body?
(Preaching through Ephesians. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on August 9, 2015.)
There Can Only Be One – Ephesians 4:1-6
Is it true that there are many paths to righteousness and spiritual enlightenment? What did Paul have to say about that? What did Jesus think?
