Sermons on Fruitfulness
In the Beginning (Genesis 1:1-2:3)
We are beginning a new series in Genesis. Which should prove to be a fascinating series. This book is chock full of captivating and pertinent stories. And it sets the stage for the major themes in Scripture. Genesis 1 is a prophetic declaration of the King’s dominion over all things and it serves as a corrective to pagan myths and establishes the one truth God as king…
The True Vine (John 15:1-11)
The fullness of human life is lived as we live in connection with the Vine, the one who gives life.
The Sovereignty of the (real) King (1 Kings 18:1-2, 17-19)
In this passage, we see that Yahweh is the God of life, not the false idols we create in our own lives. Baal (the rain god of life) had no power to actually make it rain and sustain people. Yahweh, on the other had, is fully capable of bringing and sustaining life, physical and spiritual, and does…
The Mark of a Righteous and Faithful Servant (1 Kings 18:2-16)
In this message, we see Obadiah, a faithful and righteous servant of God, who also happened to be the head of Ahab’s household, the most wicked king Israel had seen. Rather than resign his position, Obadiah shows us what faithful and righteous service to God looks like. In the midst of a…
Risk, Rejoice, Remember (Ecclesiastes 11:1-12:8)
True wisdom, for it to bear its fruit of righteousness and a meaningful life in God must take risks. True wisdom also leads to a life that is full of rejoicing. True wisdom remembers God and lives according to His ways before it is too late. Life is but a vapor and is gone before we realize it. The…
The Master of Joy (Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9)
This life is a gift from God. But often we are not satisfied with what we have and we wastefully pursue more not realizing vain pursuit of wealth and possessions will never satisfy our souls. We must be satisfied in Christ and enjoy each moment as a gift from God so that we don’t end our life in regret.
Become Who You Are (Colossians 3:1-8)
When we look at this passage, we see that Christ has already accomplished a new life and salvation for us. We live in response to what God has already done. We see that Christ has given us a new heavenly residence, sheltered us from the wicked, is returning with us as a display of glory, is pouring out wrath on wickedness, but has saved us from His wrath. Our response…
Reconciled to Christ (Colossians 1:21-23)
(NOTE: Audio does not begin until the 3’15 mark in the message) Since Jesus Christ is supreme over all things, He has the authority, power, and love to reconcile those once hostile to God. He has done it through His death and resurrection. Having this as a true and solid foundation of faith, we in Christ are compelled to continue in faith, stable and steadfast,…
The Supremacy of Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15-20)
Jesus Christ is supreme over all things, including our lives and our churches. Why that matters.
Redeemed, Part 2 (Colossians 1:9-14)
As we continue in Colossians, we look at the supremacy of Christ who reveals who God is and how He redeems His people. In Colossians 1:9-14, we see that God wants us to seek His will that we might walk worthy of Hi, being pleasing to Him. We will bear fruit in all good works, increase in knowledge of God, be strengthened with His power, and give thanks to the Father in…
