What can we see when we are in the darkness? “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light…(2 Corinthians 4:4).” In this lesson, Mike points out how Christians bring light into the world through Jesus.
Mike’s lesson this morning continues the series from 1-2 Peter and 1-3 John. “How can we have the ‘real thing’ in our midst, and not even recognize him?” In a culture that celebrates “superheroes,” how is it that the only TRUE superhero goes mostly unnoticed, unrecognized, or unappreciated? In this sermon, Mike looks at Jesus…
There are many places in the Scripture where Paul talks about the “mystery of the gospel.” So, what exactly is that “mystery?” In this lesson, based on Colossians 1:24-27, Mike outlines the mystery of the gospel revealed by Paul.
Jesus is the CREATOR of the universe. “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made (John 1:3 NIV).” In this lesson, Mike looks at the majesty of the creation and the Creator.
At this time in Paul’s life, the end is near. Paul is in prison. He is alone. But his focus is on the message that he thinks Timothy desperately needs to hear. In the final few verses of this letter, Paul emphasizes that Timothy’s job is very simple: Preach Jesus.
In 1 Timothy 3, Paul shares the “mystery from which true godliness springs.” He also lays out the pattern of lives that elders and deacons and women should demonstrate in their lives. They should live their lives in a way that bring glory and honor and respect to the name of Jesus.
