    A study of Christianity in the Postmodern age and how to be culturally relavent.

    I use the term quicksand because it has a scary connotation of being caught in something that I have no control over. Yet I have always heard that the best thing to do if your caught in it is to stay calm because all the flailing around we tend to due when we’re scared just causes us to sink ...read more

    I wound up preaching this in parts. The new believers in Christ often struggle with attacks from the enemy. I have found this message to be a reminder to me that no one is exempt from them but we do have authority over him.

    Dealing with the enemy! Part 2 By: Pastor Ron Crandall Introduction: Two weeks ago on Sunday Night I started this message. We shared on how the enemy comes against the believers in Christ, how the enemy first strikes at the home and marriage. Then when he has destroyed the family unit he then ...read more

    Jesus was tempted, yet He didn’t succumb to the enticement to sin. Jesus Reigns!

    Satan tempts Jesus three times, and Jesus isn’t in his full strength at that point. He actually had just fasted forty days in the wilderness. Luke 4 gives an account of Satan’s tempting of Jesus, as does what we have read in Matthew 4. As we go further into the Gospels, a lot of harmony ...read more

     | 6,756 views

    Jesus’ baptism tells us something about the significance of baptism for all Christians.

    Some of the most memorable events in the church are baptisms. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of participating in many baptisms, and I have to say that they are some of my greatest recollections of church. The first baptism I participated in up close and personal was my own. At age 13, on ...read more

    Jesus identifies with us in Baptism

    As we come to think about the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, we mustn’t make the mistake of forgetting what comes before it. Matthew has just finished describing John’s ministry of preparation for the coming of the Messiah. His message has been one of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ...read more

    We often fall into despair when we think of Jesus as only a model to learn from. When temptation comes, it is Jesus who is victorious and to overcome temptation we must defer to Him.

    Hi, thank you for looking at this sermon. I hope it helps. Please do not say the sermon did not help you just because you did not like the style or could not use the entire message for your own needs.
