Church at the Red Door

With this sermon we move on to chapter four and investigate the temptations of Jesus in the wilderness. These three temptations represent the three primary categories of all temptations. All of us are tempted in these areas. Without a strong weapon to stand against these assaults on our personhood, we can easily succumb to years of pain and despair in the relentless pursuit of that Satanic whisper...

We continue our march through the Gospel of Luke by exploring some details in Luke's Gospel that we don't want to escape your attention.

If that piques your interest, settle in and get ready to dive in...

This week, we will continue our march through the Gospel of Luke.

Whether you realize it or not, John was ushering in a new kingdom and signifyin...

We continue our walk through the Gospel of Luke. Specifically, we take on the question of the Bible's composition. Who wrote the Bible - God or man? What does the Bible say about its own composition? Where do both followers of Jesus and non-followers make mistakes in their answers to these questions? It is vital that we understand this if we want to be effective in the marketplace of ideas. This s...

Often, we are confronted with the letters of the New Testament - and rightfully so. They give such pragmatic instruction for life as a Jesus follower. Letters like Romans and Ephesians give us deep insight into the profound depths of a solid theological understanding, but sometimes we miss the extraordinary life and direct teachings of Jesus. We have been discussing what it means to “tell the gosp...

As...
