5 Mistakes We Make When Reading the Bible

0

http://traffic.libsyn.com/joshweidmann/Josh-Weidmann-2015.06.07-For-All-Its-Worth.mp3 The Bible is not an ancient, irrelevant letter. It is a guide for living in our modern world with passion, focus, and purpose. We will gain a greater understanding of why the Bible is of great importance and how we can apply it to our daily life in the most meaningful way. In this message I talk about five...

God’s Most Unfair Trade (Mark 8:31-38)

0

"The Gospel calls for our life!" This was the message I wanted to leave with the congregation I love at Mission Hills. I cannot remember a sermon that was harder or more emotional to preach than this last sermon. The content, my love for the people, and the emotion of the announcement to come was all running through my mind....

How to Overcome Complacency with Conviction (Acts 17:1-15)

0

In this message, we look at the Macedonia journey that Paul and Silas took in the first century, as recorded in Acts 17. From their life we can see the importance of conviction when facing opposition. The Christian life is not a life of complacency or laziness but one of transformation and resolve. My Sermon Resources: Study Notes on Acts 17.1-15 Conviction...

A Warning Message for Pride (Acts 12:2-24)

0

Augustine said, "Pride is the mother that gives birth to all other sins." If we do not keep our pride in check, we will find ourselves opposing God and trying to take His position. By looking at the life of Herod, we can have the firm warning from the Lord that he will oppose the proud. Yet, in verse...

Saul’s Conversion: Chief of Sinners Saved for You (Acts 9:1-19)

0

God saves His people from all sorts of things. Their past tells a story of redemption for God's glory that cannot be denied—this was certainly the case for Saul. In this message, Josh helps us see the Story of Saul's conversion in a way that reveals God's purposes for us today. Acts 9:1-19 make it clear that God sovereignly...

Finding Hope When All Else Fails (Acts 6:8-15)

0

We all long for peace, especially in times of turmoil. When our life is under pressure or upset in someway, we often do whatever we can in our own strength to gain control. In Acts 6:8-15 we see the early church member, Stephen, standing still in the face of death. From this passage, I strive to show how we...

Our Great Reward is God Himself (Acts 7:54-8:3)

0

Suffering is never something we desire, but to suffer well should be the desire of our heart. In this message we looked at the last seconds of Stephen's life in Acts 7:54-60. We discovered strategies for remaining faithful to God even when faithfulness to God doesn't make sense. Also, as we looked at Saul's persecution of the church, we understood...

Honest to God (Sermon)

0

In this message I share the 6 roadblocks to why we are not honest with God. I believe that if we were totally transparent with God we would experience greater levels of transformation. My college professor once said, "Honesty is not an end in itself, but a means to our own transformation." In this sermon I shared various biblical...

The Beginning of Wisdom (Acts 5:1-11)

0

God takes our integrity very seriously. In this message we look at the story of Ananias and Sapphira found in Acts 5:1-11. While God was interested in their generosity, he was much more interested in their character. He wanted them to be on His mission and honest in every way. My main walk away was this: When we live in the...
