Woodbury Church of Christ Sermons

Jesus revealed truth to the world. So, why are there so many disagreements and divisions among people who claim to follow Jesus?

Jesus didn't claim to know truth, he claimed to BE the truth. How do we think about truth in a modern, scientific and secular society? What does that mean for modern truth claims? You might be surprised.

In Romans 6, Paul brings two groups together unifying them and encouraging them to remember their commitment to join Christ in baptism.

Sometimes we make simple things complicated. Jesus's baptism teaches us that Baptism can be simple.

Baptism finds its fullest and truest meaning in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In the still moments we find our mind occupied with questions of meaning and purpose. The reality is there's no direct way to answer those questions. Instead they are addressed when we tackle another question - Did Jesus actually rise from the dead?

As we close out our exploration of the Torah we're left with a dilemma - We cannot meet God's holy expectations and are left with the consequences of failure. What is the way back to God?

Deuteronomy literally means "second law." There is law sprinkled throughout these five books of the Torah. Some laws are awesome, some are odd and some are troubling. What are Christians supposed to think and do with the Hebrew law?

Deuteronomy is Moses final words to the nation of Israel as they are on the border of the Promised Land. What he tells them is critical to life as we know it, both for them and for us.

Ever felt like your life is not where you expected it to be? Especially when you've done all the "right" things. The truth is that God will lead you through the wilderness for our own good.

In the book of Numbers, the people of God are traveling again. They are finally leaving Mt. Sinai, but they begin to complain. They don't want to trust God or Moses. But God can be trusted.

The complex system of tabernacle sacrifices seems bizarre, even offensive. However, it hints at a future reality that will come to reality in Christ.

Pop Quiz: What do festering wounds, mildew and bloody sacrifices have in common? They're all highlighted in the third and maybe strangest book in the Hebrew Bible. It raises questions for the modern reader about what to do with this weird book.

Exodus Part Three - We're in a part of the Bible people think of as...well, boring. It's a verbal description of engineering schematics for a tabernacle. As people read, if they even do, they wonder why in the world God preserved ten chapters of this stuff. Well, if you take a deep breath and dig in, it's pretty awesome because it reflects and reveals an awesome God.

When people try to read through the Bible they usually do great...right until they get to the laws in Exodus. While some of the laws make sense, others are confusing and tedious...some are even offensive. What are Christians supposed to do with these laws?

As we enter Exodus, we are introduced to THE story of the Hebrew Bible. More to the point, we're introduced to a God who is stronger, bigger and mightier than any obstacle. If he can rescue a nation from slavery, he can rescue us from sin.

As we've learned, Genesis is full of wild, intriguing stories. We tend to read them for moral lessons, which is fine, but limited. What would we learn if we read it to discover the character of God?

Genesis is full of wild stories. Some we've managed to turn into moral tales for children but many of the stories are...definitely not PG-13. What is happening in the first book of the Bible?

As Christians who have been given new life, we have another chance to make our lives count. How can we make it worth it?

We've turn the nativity into a nice sweet moment of peace and calm. It probably wasn't all "calm and bright." It was probably chaotic and confusing but God was present, even orchestrating things exactly how He needed them to be.

Jesus is the light, the world needs the light. How do we shine in a world of darkness?

If there is a light then there is a darkness. The light must have an answer for the darkness.

Ever felt like you weren't "getting" faith? Like it seems to be working for everyone else but you? Like others were growing in their understanding, getting answers to prayer and experiencing contentment...but not you? John has something to say. We'll be exploring John 1 and the experience of Jesus

As we end our series on what God has next for our church. We discuss today how our expectation for what God can do for us, is often different than the reality of what God is actually doing

At our core, we want to do the right thing, but the right thing often requires sacrifice, perseverance, or humility. It's MUCH easier to focus on good but lesser things that don't require as much. Jesus has something to say about that.
