  • "Veiled Hearts, Blinded Minds" - 2 Corinthians 3:13-4:6 - It is a tragedy for a person to have blinded eyes, but infinitely worse to have a blinded heart. The Jews of Paul's day were blinded to the truth of the Gospel because they failed to see transitory nature of the Law of Moses. Satan still blinds the minds of men today! What are some of the "veils" Satan uses to keep people from seeing the truth? - MP3 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF  / VIDEO - 2/24/2013
  • "The Mind Is A Battlefield" - We Are At War: A Spiritual  war – A battle that is waged in the minds of men!

(2 Corinthians 10:1-6) - MP3 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF  - 3/3/2013
  • "The Agony of The Cup" - One of the most moving experiences recorded concerning the life of Christ took place in the garden of Gethsemane. No one who is serious about being a Christian can remain unmoved as they think of Jesus’ agony in the Garden. But why did he “drink the bitter cup”? Because he loved us so! It was our sin, indeed it was my sin (!) that took him there. (Matthew 26:30-56; Mark 14:26-50; Luke 22:33-46) - MP3 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF / VIDEO - 3/10/2013
  • "A Perverted Gospel Is No Gospel At All" - Some were preaching a different gospel - (Salvation through Jesus & the law of Moses). This so-called gospel was not really another gospel because there is only one. This text demonstrates the danger of altering the gospel of Christ in any way. Any change brings the curse of God. (Galatians 1:6-10) - MP3 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF / VIDEO - 3/10/2013
  • "Church Discipline - Dealing With The Disorderly" - (That Their Souls Might Be Saved) - Withdrawing fellowship from those who walk disorderly is a command of the Lord, but what does that mean? How should the faithful view and treat those who have been withdrawn from? These are not easy questions, but they are important questions – and the Bible gives us the answers. (Text examined: Matthew 18:15-17; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15; Galatians 6:1,2). - MP3 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF / VIDEO - 3/17/2013
  • "The Source of The Gospel Preached By Paul" - Paul defends his authority as an apostle of Jesus Christ by demonstrating his apostleship was independent of the other apostles. He preached the same gospel and had been accepted as an equal by the other apostles. (Text examined: Galatians 1:11-21). - MP3 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 3/17/2013 
  • "The Urgent Need For Diligence" - (The End of the World Will Come) - No one knows when the end of the world will come, but we are assured in God's word that it will. We must "give all diligence to make our calling and election sure." We prepare for important events - can you think of a more important event than the day we stand before God to give an account for how we have lived? Are we being diligent to be at peace with God and blameless and without spot before Him? - (2 Peter) - MP3 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 3/24/2013
  • "Losing It All To Gain Christ" - The Deal of A Lifetime! - What is MOST important to us? What do we value MOST? It is obvious what was important to Paul i.e., JESUS - all He is, all He has, & all He has promised! With regard to profit and loss, we, as the apostle Paul, should view everything as loss that we may gain the Lord. Our only gain (profit) is in knowing the Lord, being in the Lord, living for the Lord & living with the Lord! – (Philippians 3:1-16) – KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (3/31/2013)
  • “The Gospel Taught By Paul Was Endorsed By The Other Apostles” – The gospel Paul preached did not originate with any man - but came directly from Christ - Paul’s gospel was endorsed by the other apostles - Paul’s apostleship & authority was equal with the other apostles - including Peter. (Galatians 2:1-21) – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (3/31/2013)
  • "Members One of Another" - Should Christians Be Members of A Local Church? - The Christian, while added to the universal church by the Lord, (Acts 2:47), should seek to join himself to a local church. (Acts 9:26ff). Every Christian should seek out a faithful group of the Lord's people and identify with them in order to fulfill their share of the collective responsibilities.  – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (4/7/2013)
  • "God's Silence Does Not Mean He Is Absent" - Lessons From The Book of Esther - An amazing true story filled with both good and bad examples. We learn of courage, faith and sacrifice, as well as the evils of hatred, pride and greed.

  • "The Church That Fell Out of Love" - (The church of Christ in Ephesus - Revelation 2:1-8) - Seven good qualities, one bad - one too many.  Their values & motives had become misplaced. Correct actions are worthless if our motives are not genuine & pure  – The Lord looks not only at what we do but our intent & motives as well.  MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (4/28/2013)
  • "The Persecuted & Impoverished Church - But Rich" - The Christians in Smyrna faced tribulation, even to the point of martyrdom.

However, they tolerated false teachers within their ranks. Pergamos is known as the compromising church. To compromise with error compromises our influence – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (5/12/2013)
  • "In Christ We Are Adopted As Sons & Heirs of God Through Christ! - (Galatians 3:26-4:7) " - Christians are sons of God by faith In Christ Jesus and not the law - (vs. 26-29). An heir receives his inheritance through Christ & not the Law of Moses - (4:1-7).  MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (5/12/2013)
  • "Thyatira: The Church Faithful In Many Ways —but tolerated False Teaching & Sin!”— (Rev 2:18-29) " - Thyatira was a church that had many good qualities - but one fault can destroy much good. Jesus rebukes the church in Thyatira because they tolerated a false teacher in their midst referred to as "Jezebel, thus they had set themselves against Christ. Jezebel is still at work. She asks us not to believe in absolutes. She asks us to give in just a little at a time until there is nothing distinctive about us in contrast to the world. – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (5/26/2013)

  • "Sardis: The Church With A Good Reputation Before Men - But The Lord Said They Were Dead!”— (Rev 3:1-6) " - It matters very little what men think of us, but it matters immensely what Christ knows about us, and He knows ALL. We can’t hide under a façade of make believe religion and fool our Lord. A congregation filled with members who live for worldly pleasures is a dead church, regardless of its reputation. – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (6/2/2013)

  • "Laodecia: The Lukewarm Church!”— (Rev 3:14-22) " - Apathy and indifference is not accepted by the Lord. – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (6/23/2013)
  • "The Allegory of Hagar & Sarah”— (Galatians 4:21-31)" - Paul illustrates why the Galatians should not heed the Judaizing teachers. It would be a return to slavery (to the Law of Moses). It would be turning their back on the Spirit who conceived them. It would be turning away from the promises of heaven. - KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (6/23/2013)
  • "The Better Things In Life Are Most Often The Most Unpleasant" - (Eccl. 7:1-14) For the honorable man, his death day is better than his birthday.

  • "Stand Fast - Don't Fall" - (Galatians 5:1-7) The Galatian Christians had been set free from the bondage of idolatry and sin. The Judaizing teachers were jeopardizing their liberty, putting them in danger of being severed from Christ – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (7/14/2013)
  • "What's Down The Road?" - First of all it depends upon which road we are on. Are we on the broad road that leads to eternal death or are we on the narrow road that leads to everlasting life? (Mat 7:13,14). Secondly, It is not within man's ability to “direct his own steps” through this life! (Jer. 10:23). What's down the road in this life for the person following God's instructions compared to the one who doesn't? (Some thoughts for the young, married, parents & local churches) – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (7/21/2013)
  • "The Sin of Hindering Others" - (Galatians 5:7-15) The Galatians had begun the Christian race & progressing well UNTIL the Judaizers impeded their progress. Paul has some strong words directed towards the false teachers and warns the Galatians of the danger they posed. Liberty in Christ does not give us a license to sin or take advantage of others but rather requires that we love and serve one another. – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (7/21/2013)
  • "Weighed In The Balances" - (Daniel 5) - It is 539 B.C., and Belshazzar throws a huge feast for 1,000 of his lords while the Persian army has his city under siege.

  • "Preaching Jesus Christ And Him Crucified" - (1 Cor. 1:23; 2:2) - Many say: "We Ought To Preach the Man, (Jesus), and NOT the plan." True enough - Jesus IS at the center of ALL TRUE GOSPEL PREACHING! But preaching that ignores HIS teaching is NOT gospel preaching, (Mt 28:18,19; 2 Tim 4:2; Acts 20:27) - Our preaching must include both the man and the plan! – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF (8/4/2013)

  • “The Flesh or the Spirit?” 5:16-21 - (Galatians 5:16-21) - The contrast in this section is between the “FRUIT” of their teaching and the “FRUIT” of the gospel. Most expositors miss the point of this text completely and even use it to promote the opposite of what Paul is actually teaching. – MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF (8/11/2013)
  • "Why Does God Allow Christians To Suffer?" - The unbelieving critic often asks this question as an argument against God: “Why would a God who is all-good & loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful allow bad things to happen to good people?” However, the question may also be asked in sincerity: “How could God let this happen to me and to mine, why would God not stop this pain and help me?” This lesson examines the question and gives - MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (8/18/2013)
  • “The Fruit of The Flesh & Spirit?” - (Galatians 5:19-26) - The flesh, (Law), cannot deliver from sin, or give one power over sin.

What are some steps we can take to make better use of our time? - MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (9/1/2013)
  • "The Lost Bible" - (2 Chronicles 34:1-35:19; 2 Kings 21:24-23:30) - Knowledge of TRUTH is essential for True worship and acceptable service to God. Proper respect for TRUTH brings hearing, repentance and reform – but unconcern & indifference brings ignorance, compromise, & DESTRUCTION! – 2 Tim. 4:2-4; Hos. 4:6. There is an epidemic of Biblical illiteracy today!  - MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (9/8/2013)

  • “What Selfishness Looks Like" - On some level we all deal with selfishness, but there is no room for selfishness in the life of the devoted Christian. Selfishness is the fountainhead of all sin, and is the root of every troubled relationship. Self-centered people refuse to see the damage they are doing to themselves and others. We are called to surrender our life to Christ - our “self-will” must be conquered and destroyed, and “not my will, but God’s be done.” Every thought  is to brought into obedience to Christ!

[He is able, not only to distinguish right from wrong, but also to have an inherent sense of guilt when he has done wrong and a sense of approval when he has done right.]  How can these things originate & evolve from inanimate matter? The only rational explanation is God! - MP3 / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (11/03/2013)
  • “Living Upright In An Upside Down World" - The world was turned upside down when Adam & Eve committed the first sin.
