    Living Contently
    This morning we are looking at how Paul has learned the secret to contentment and he gladly shares this secret with us.  So listen for the answer for contentment in your live of joy as well.

    Paul encouraged the Philippians to follow his example.  You too can be an example people can follow if you follow the guidelines Paul tells us about in this passage.

    Living with the End in Mind
    Living with joy means living with the end in mind, looking forward to the finish.  Listen for the four ways this is accomplished in this morning's message

    Living by Faith
    Paul shows us two ways to live a righteous live.  We can live by faith in ourselves and our accomplishments (which do not amount to anything) or we can live by faith.  Spoiler alert: Live by Faith

    Living like Stars
    Like last week's sermon when we talked about living worthy with unity, humanity, and humility, Paul continues to instruct us on how to live like stars and it is about the same message with two additional commands and two examples on how to live with these three character traits.

    Living Worthy
    In order to live with joy Paul urges us to live worthy lives.  This means unity, humanity (looking out for others), and humility (with Jesus as our example).  Listen to hear more.
  • Oct 11, 2020Living for Christ
    Oct 11, 2020
    Living for Christ
    To Paul to live is Christ and to die is gain.  In this message, we noted Paul's singular goal was to preach Christ.  And this is what we need to do today as well.  We need to live for Christ.

    Living with Abounding Love
    We are starting a new series this week titled "Living with Joy".  Our study will take us through the joy-fill book of Philippians.  And the first thing Paul mentions about Living with Joy is how our love needs to abound more and more.

    It’s Friday, But Sunday’s Comin’
    This classic sermon made popular by Tony Campolo was first preached by S. M. Lockridge (listen to the message to find out what the S. M. stands for).  It is often used in part by people around Easter.  But it is about any day that is bad, or difficult, or stressful, or painful.  God has the power to change all of our "Fridays" in to "Sundays".  Here is the link to the video I showed the congregation at the end of my message.  https://tonyagnesi.com/2014/04/its-friday-but-sundays-coming/.

    Making Ripples- Mike Breaux
    This week's message is from another contemporary pastor that we watched via video.  Due to copyright laws we cannot post the message online but you can listen to the message by clicking on the link below or on the video link.  This message was preached by Mike Breaux from New Hope Church in Durham, NC on May 6, 2018.  Mike Breaux- Making Ripples.

    The Value of a Soul – Billy Graham
    This is another sermon that I wish I had written that was preached by Billy Graham.  And this sermon, The Value of a Soul, is the very embodiment of Billy Graham.  In it, you hear his heart and passion for the lost.  And it gives us a taste of what his life was all about.

    The Almost Christian- John Wesley
    Another sermon from history.  This time from John Wesley who has over 40,000 sermons to chose from.  This message includes some of his testimony.  Namely is efforts to live a good godly life with all the appearance of a Christian and yet not having (until later on in his life) the Love of God or neighbor, nor faith in his heart.  So what is the difference between an almost Christian and an altogether a Christian is explained in this sermon I wish I had written.

    Sermon on the Mount- Jesus
    No series entitled "Sermons I Wish I Had Written" would be complete in my opinion without Jesus' sermon that he preached on the mountain that Matthew records in chapter 5-7.  And while many people have read this sermon and have heard sermons on these chapters, not my people have preached this sermon as a sermon.  So here is my version of what Jesus may have spoken on that occasion.

    Christian: Brand Recognition – Andy Stanley
    Andy Stanley brings this morning's message to us.  We are not permitted to upload the video to our site, but you can watch the video (and any of the other 7 messages in this great series) at northpoint.org.  The series title is "Christian" and you can search for it there.  We watched the first of this series entitled "Brand Recognition".  In this sermon, Andy examines the question "What is a Christian" and you may not expect the answer.

    Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God- Jonathan Edwards
    This classic sermon from 1741 by Jonathan Edwards is often on lists of the greatest sermons of all times.  And it speaks on a subject that is often ignored by many preachers today -- the idea that Hell is real and if you do not have a relationship with Jesus, just how horrible it would be to end up there.

    Return to Me
    Zechariah is a message calling all of us to Return to God.  After all, the book of James says, "Draw near to God and God will draw near to us."

    A Place for God
    Is Christ at home in your heart?  Is God welcomed in the temple of your life?  Maybe you need to listen to Haggai's message about making a place for God.

    The Day of the Lord
    The end is near is the cry we heard around the turn of the millennium.  But have we heard such cry lately?  The fact of the matter is that the Lord is coming back.  And this time it will not be as a man who loved us and died for us.  The second coming will be a day of God's wrath and judgment on sin.  And so we need to keep in mind what the day of the Lord will mean for us as we look at the day of the Lord from Zephaniah.

    Father Abraham had Many Sons (Special Father’s Day message)
    The silly song that people sing about Father Abraham really does have a deeper meaning behind it.  Sorry we do not have the video link to it but you can listen to what we as Abraham's descendants by faith can learn from his story.  Happy Father's day.

    Sinners and an Angry God
    God is love.  But God is also holy and as a holy God he must punish sin.  Nahum is full of God's wrath.  And as Romans 11:22 says, we need to be aware of God's love as well as God's sternness that leads to being cut off.  I hope that all of us will not fall into the hands of an angry God.

    Can I have your attention, please?
    Jonah is a story most of us know.  And one of the messages behind this story is God trying to get people's attention.  So is God going to use this sermon to get your attention?

    You Get What You Pay For
    Obadiah has a message for us today- You get what you pay for.  God is not mocked and we will reap what we sow.  This is just as true today as it was when it was written.  So listen all the way to the end (with communion) on how we reaped what Jesus sowed.

    Happy Mother's Day.  Today we look at a minor prophet (only mentioned in one Bible story) that gave us an example of a strong godly woman.
