Process of Teaching and Leading

Last updated on: February 13, 2018 at 5:43 pm By Jim Erwin

Process of Teaching and Leading For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. I urge you, then, be imitators of me. That is why I sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church. (1 Corinthians 4:15-17 ESV) There are two forms of discipleship illustrated... Read more

Lamentations 3:19-24 Trust in the Faithfulness of God

Last updated on: June 7, 2018 at 9:26 pm By Jim Erwin

Lamentations 3:19-24 Trust in the Faithfulness of God INTRODUCTION Do you know someone that you had problems trusting? How do you go about trusting in someone? One definition of trust is to place your hopes and dreams under someone’s authority. For example, Heike can trust me when I tell her that I will do something for her. She can set her hope on what I say because I have been able to do them in the past. She can trust... Read more

Revelation 5:1-14 Bringing Unity in Worship

Last updated on: January 23, 2007 at 1:59 pm By Jim Erwin

Revelation 5:1-14 Bringing Unity in Worship Unity is hard to have in the church. Sometimes, Christians spend so much time arguing about what separates us. Sometimes, it is about Bible translation, the role of men and women in the church. Christians also seem to disagree about how we should worship. We worship the same God. We celebrate the same Savior. We sing the same song. We just sing in different ways. Let me show you what I mean. AMAZING GRACE... Read more

Mark 11:12-14, 20-24 Grown Up and Graduated Graduation is a very important achievement in the life of a student. It says that you have accomplished a task, a goal and that you have finished what you started. Graduation is also a rite of passage. You have grown up.

Sharing Wounds “After eight days His disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them. He said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don’t be an unbeliever, but a believer.” Thomas responded to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said, “Because you have seen Me, you have... Read more

Last updated on: January 4, 2007 at 1:34 pm By Jim Erwin

1 Kings 19:1-18 How to Deal with Discouragement It is not unusual for even the most spiritual people to have their days of doubt. Moses, on one occasion at least, was overwhelmed by his circumstances. After he had listened to the constant complaining of the children of Israel, he basically told the Lord, “I’m fed up. Just kill me. I don’t want to deal with this another day.” — (Numbers 11:11) Even the great apostle Paul had moments when he... Read more

Genesis 32:24-32 Blessing Wrestle

Last updated on: January 4, 2007 at 1:33 pm By Jim Erwin

Genesis 32:24-32 Blessing Wrestle When I was growing up in the United States, we used to watch wrestling matches on television. We watched every Saturday evening wrestling matches. The show took place locally in Houston, and then later in Madison Square Garden. This was a big show. There would be men who would come together and wrestle each other. They would wrestle in a huge ring in the center of the room. They would go a long time around the... Read more

John 5:16-30 God’s Election Program Today is the day in which the Germans went to the polls and voted for their next Chancellor. We have all been seeing signs all over Bremen about the different parties that have run for office. Not only the Chancellor’s job but also the different parties had people whom they want elected.
