FBC Gresham

We look at Luke 10:12-16 and find that the most cursed people in hell are not the worst sinners, but those who rejected the gospel.

We look at Luke 10:1-12 to see practical and appropriate application of Jesus' instruction to the 72.

In this Thanksgiving Sermon we look at Psalm 107

Luke 9:37-45 In this sermon we find the same answer to three questions: Why does Satan have a hold on the lives of unbelievers? Why are disciples of Christ ineffective in their ministry? Why don’t disciples grasp the glory of the cross, living instead by their own efforts? The answer: A faithless and twisted generation!

In the first half of the text in Luke 8:40-56 We see that Jesus not only has power to save, but heal also desires to address our pride and doubt.  We see the woman with an issue of blood who desperately wants to be healed, but also desperately desires that no one know about her 12 years of uncleanliness.   Jesus, in His grace, exposes her, so that she may have peace!

Luke 8:16-18

Paul’s Secret For The Christian Life.m4a

We look at Philippians 3:1-11 to see how a "Christ plus" gospel is no gospel at all.  We will look at Paul's command to "look out" for the dogs/evildoers/mutilators of the flesh who would take people away from the true gospel.  We will also look at the need to regret any claim we think we have on God and the need to count it all loss compared to the worth of knowing Christ Jesus!

Epaphroditus was an ordinary Christian in many ways.  But his dedication to the Lord, his love for his church, and his willingness to "let it all ride" on Jesus Christ set him apart in an extraordinary way.  We will look at how his life applies to us in Philippians 2:25-30.

We continue in the book of Philippians, looking at verses 2:19-24.  Here we see the incredible impact on the church of a life that is fully committed to the Lord's interests.

In Philippians 2:12-18 Paul speaks to Christians about what to do after salvation, when the apostle is absent, and at all times...   OBEY.  In fear in trembling, without complaining or internal dialogue, and holding fast the Word of Life!

From Philippians 2:1-11 we see the call to Christ-like humility; to be of one mind, one spirit, without division, following our King!

In light of the motion calling to fire the pastor, Pastor Douglass preaches wisdom from Proverbs 18:10-18. To God Be The Glory. Amen

In today's sermon we take a look at two more qualifications for a pastor: respectability and hospitality...

Today we have a special sermon spanning Leviticus 9-10.  We see how serious God is about the holiness of His worship and the practical implications for our church services.

Today we examine the first four qualities required of a pastor: "above reproach," "husband of one wife," "sober-minded", and self-controlled."

In this sermon we get an overview of the office and the work of a pastor.  

This is our final sermon from 1 Timothy Chapter 2, dealing with women in the church.

As we continue to look at 1 Timothy 2, we will see how God tells both men and women to conduct themselves in the church.

This sermon is an overview of the major themes of 1 Timothy Chapter 2.  The clear message from this passage is that God has placed us all under authority, and He has instructed us as to how we should live under authority- even when that authority fails.

In 1 Timothy 1:12-20 we see that first Paul, and then Timothy were set apart for Christ's service.   This calling is based upon 1. God's Grace  2. God's Mercy  3. God's War Against False Teaching.

We begin a new series from the book of 1 Timothy In this first sermon God charges us to combat false doctrine from a heart of love, and we see how the law is used lawfully in the life of the church rather than unlawfully by false teachers.

For Mothers Day we look at 2 John where the apostle gives three commands to mother church: Love one another by obeying God's commands, Watch out for yourselves (plural), and do not even greet a false teacher...Why? To have a valid witness to young believers and those who are being brought to spiritual life in Christ, and not lose them to false doctrine.

In the conclusion of Daniel chapter 6 we see that God saves the one who trusts in Him!  The stages of salvation are illustrated through Darius who is first anxious over (Daniel's) salvation, then learns the means of (Daniel's) salvation, and finally gives praise for (Daniel's) salvation.

The key to Daniel's decision to pray to God when it was forbidden, knowing that he would be thrown into the lions den, is his great love for God.  Daniel knew that it is more important to love God than it is to love ourselves.  In Daniel 6:1-15 we find three keys to helping us live out our lives in Christ from this text: 1. Love for God sanctifies   2. Love for God is compromis...
