Sermons & Resources

This sermon explores the spiritual danger of control. A discussion of how people often get "stuck" in sinful behaviors. Drawing from Galatians 5, we identify contentions and selfish ambition as "relational sins" that frequently manifest as a desire to manipulate people and outcomes. Through honest stories about marital disagreements and failed ministry projects, the speaker illustrates how human defensiveness and the need for control act as barriers to divine peace. Ultimately, the speaker calls for spiritual surrender, urging the audience to replace anxiety and dominance with a deeper trust in God's sovereignty.

God’s promise to make all things new is not reserved only for the future—it is available today. This message explores how the power of creation is also the power of redemption, calling us to surrender, renewal, and a transformed life in Christ.

Do you and I see sin the way that God does? Do we understand in our hearts what is truly important to our heavenly Father? Do we share the same spiritual priorities that Jesus has? These are the questions I want to explore with you.

Watching our young people head off to class reminded me that learning doesn't end when we leave a classroom. In fact, I believe that if you follow Jesus, you are still in a school: the School of Christ. In this post I want to share what I taught recently at Gentry SDA Church about why lifelong learning matters spiritually, how the Bible describes Jesus as both student and teacher, and practical ways we can keep growing in the knowledge of God.
