Woodland Friends Church

What if I told you that if you have goals, and if that goal is who God wants you to be. Who He’s made you to be. Who He’s made His church to be. If you have that goal – and it should be a goal - then there’s nothing stopping you or me from attaining that goal! If your life this far has been, “Christ met me. He saved me. And now I’ve been following Him,” but following Him only looks like a life whe...

“Your work stinks,” That’s what Jesus is saying to the Sardis Christians, “Your work stinks.” And that’s got to hurt. “I know your works; you have a name of being alive, but you are dead.” And I wondered, “What does this mean?”

For those Christians in Thyatira who had remained faithful when Jezebel and her followers did not? It could’ve been dark. It could’ve been lonely at times. And when the culture wasn’t looking down on them or withholding money from them because they weren't participating in the pagan, ritualistic cultic feasts with sexual immorality and food sacrificed to idols, then their fellow brothers and siste...

SERMON VAULT: Originally preached 9/11/16. Its melancholy, that it's likely unknown to the disciples, but obviously on the mind of Jesus front and center: is their final passing through Galilee. Jesus doesn’t take time to minister there, He doesn’t capitalize off of His recent miracles, He doesn’t do anything to bring in more disciples or people around because He’s interested in one thing, teachin...

When the world has put forth lies for so long, hoping that people forget what’s true versus what’s been lied about, what’s been deceptively manipulated and presented - God’s doesn’t forget. He doesn’t forget. Everything is uncovered. Exposed.

The church, the Christians, universal, are a frail people, I believe. We sin, we have peculiar ways, strong beliefs, and tendencies to stray. The truth is, is Christ calls people to repent. To get back on track. To strive with Him, and walk with Him, and follow Him, and for the overcomer, it will always be worth it!

The Ephesians were doing all the right things, weren't they? They were stopping bad teachers, serving the right people, building bridges, dodging bullets! They only lacked one thing, was it a big thing? Jesus says so. His Whole Word says so.

Many profess quite freely that THE BIBLE is about JESUS. But even some believers in such sentiments get to Revelation, and ask, "What is this about?" "Prophecies, I guess. Maybe... disaster? Catastrophes?" Instead of Revelation being about prophetic fulfillments, maybe it's just about the fulfillment of Christ in all things!

The Reformers, like Calvin, Luther, or even Matthew Henry, John Knox, or the Wesleys – did they teach, and did the kids running around in their times – 16, 17, 1800s believe in the left behindism? And you might say, “Hah, nice try! You can’t pull that one over me! Of course they couldn’t have imagined a one world nation, and the other creepy features of Left Behind,” but then you might think they...

Are the ones we based our faith-walk on going to find us faithful? Will your parent or relative who led you to Christ? Will your teacher, pastor or mentor? How about the church you were saved at? Most importantly, will Christ find us faithful in a faithless generation?

Jesus, fully God, fully man, walks out onto the water and intends to just cross the other side. It’s only a few miles. Why risk a boat ride on a stormy night when you could just walk it, right? And the word choice here of Mark suggests that first of all, this was just for Jesus’ benefit! He intended to pass them by! Then He appears to change His mind, “D’oh! There they are! They saw me! Now they’r...

People who have gone before us. People we could in some small way thank for their obedience and faithfulness that we now get to be here. In a facility. Being the church together on this hill. Still hearing the Word of the Lord. Still studying His ways... will we leave the same legacy for future generations?
