Three Sermons: "Scriptural Christianity," "Peace Within," and "Peace With God"

Almost caught up! Hopefully next week we'll be back up to where we should be, and hopefully I'll be able to keep my rear in gear after that.

Wake Up, Sleepyhead!

Reading: Matthew 25:1-13; Ephesians 5:1-21

(Note that Carey and  I were away on vacation on July 22, so there's no sermon for that week.) It's really easy to let drowsiness creep into our spiritual lives, just like it's really easy to get lazy and take for granted our relationships with others. The call, though, is to a relationship characterized by growth, health, and life.

The Almost Christian

Reading: Acts 26:1-32; John 12:17-28

Still playing catch-up… I should probably mention that a few of these sermons (this one included) are based on/inspired by John Wesley’s Standard Sermons. Seemed like a good idea to spend some time on some messages everyone needs to hear from time to time.

Two Sermons: "A Story of Religion" and "Freedom for the Prisoners"

It's been a busy summer, so we're going to play catch-up a bit at a time. Just by way of record-keeping, Carey preached on June 24, so I won't post the recording here. The second sermon below was preached in response to World Hope's "Freedom Sunday" initiative, which was focused on raising awareness of human trafficking. Fair warning: it's not a lighthearted sermon.

"A Story of Religion"
Reading: Ephesians 2:1-22
