The Great Commission -- Do we understand it? (Matthew 22:36-40 and Matthew 28:16-20) | Jesus calls us to be his disciples and sends us to disciple others, baptizing them, and teaching them to obey everything that he commanded. Being a disciple involves discipling others. | 9/6/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

In the Midst (John 7:53-8:11) | John 8 tells how Jesus responded when a woman caught in the act of adultery is brought before him. Jesus does much more than not condemn her. He stands in the midst of the angry crowd, willing to suffer alongside of her. And in so doing he gives her a new lease on life. | 8/30/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

In Our Father's Image (John 14:1-11) | Our image of our Heavenly Father is often shaped by our earthly fathers. Sometimes in good and constructive ways. Sometimes in bad and negative ways.

A Faithful Father (Genesis 22:1-18) | The account of Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son Isaac is one of the most difficult, horrible, yet beautiful stories in the Bible.

The Prodigal Father (Luke 15:11-32) | This parable has been called the Gospel within the Gospel. How we understand it likely says a lot about how we understand the Gospel.

Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord | We are called by God, we have been inherited by God, and we have been empowered by God to be the church, to be the body of Christ. And to do this the eyes of our heart must be enlightened.In the Bible the heart doesn't refer just to, or primarily to, our emotional center. And its not just the seat of intellect or understanding. Instead, the heart refers more to the very core of our being, the very essence of who we are. So this prayer that the eyes of our heart be enlightened or opened is a prayer that at our very core we might truly be enabled to see. | 5/4/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Living Rocks: Do Not Fear | Peter's readers faced tremendous suffering and persecution for their faith. Most of us never have. But we face something that may be an even greater danger: irrelevance. Two whole generations are missing from this church (and most churches for that matter): the buster (GenX) and the millenial (GenY) generations. Many of them see little or no relevance in church or the Christian faith. They see little or no difference in those who claim to be Christians. So should we be surprised that they aren't interested in Church? | 4/27/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

And we must do this because in and through Christ Jesus we are God' people. We have been chosen by God and we are precious in his sight.

And, as we see elsewhere in Scripture, Jesus is both the capstone and the cornerstone, the one who shores us up from above and below, as He builds us, by the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit, into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, that offers spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. | 4/6/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

And, even more importantly I think, he was revealing that he was not JUST the Messiah, but that he was God. While many were eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Messiah, few, if any, were expecting that the Messiah would be anything more than a great man. But Jesus wasn't claiming to be just an extraordinary man. Jesus was claiming to be the Son of God. | 3/2/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Jesus and the Samaritan Woman | Today we are going to listen in to what I believe is the single longest recorded conversation of Jesus and any individual. In some ways this is one of the most shocking conversations between Jesus and anyone that is recorded in the Bible. It is also, I think, one of the most beautiful. Through it, not only do we learn more about Jesus as Messiah, but we also are reminded of the importance of meaningful conversation and how conversation can lead to conversion. In fact, conversation may be one of the most powerful forms of witness and evangelism. Conversation can lead to conversion. | 2/24/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Jesus and the Pharisee | Yes, Jesus is making the point that Nicodemus is focusing on physical realities rather than spiritual realities, but I believe that Jesus is also saying something even more important about these spiritual realities. Jesus is saying that salvation is first and foremost about what God does. It is the kingdom of God that Jesus is revealing. Jesus' words and Jesus' miracles are meant to reveal the kingdom of God. And the kingdom of God that Jesus sought to reveal to Nicodemus and those of his day was much more than the physical kingdom of Israel or the Temple in Jerusalem. | 2/17/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

In baptism we both hear and see a public proclamation that Jesus was the promised Messiah ... that Jesus is the savior of the world.

The Gift of Presence | The greatest gift that God has given us is His presence. As I shared last week, God has sought to be present to us from the very beginning of time. He was present with Adam and Eve in the Garden. He was present with Israel in their captivity, in their exodus from captivity, and in the Promised Land. And God was present with us in the person ... in the flesh and blood ... of Jesus Christ. And lest we forget, God is present with us even now, through the presence of the Holy Spirit. God is a God of a presence. God is ever-present. And it is through His presence that we experience salvation. It is through His presence that we are saved. | 12/30/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

On the contrary, God created humanity so that He could be present in the midst of it. Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection are the climax of the story of God's presence with his people. It is through the presence of God that we have been, are being, and will be saved. We are saved because God is with us, now and forever. | 12/23/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

Others First | This morning I would like us to talk about another very important ingredient to unity: Humility. Humility isn't something that comes naturally to most of us. In fact, it is antithetical ... opposite ... to our human nature, in general, and our American culture, in particular. Humility, quite simply, is putting others first. It is putting God first and it is putting each other first. The opposite of humility is looking out for number one. The opposite of humility is my way or the highway. The opposite of humility is if you want something done right, do it yourself. And I could go on. It is not humiliation. It is not poor self esteem. It is not self-deprecation. It is a proper understanding of self; a healthy understanding of who we are in relationship to our Heavenly Father and to one another. | 11/25/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

And Be Thankful | As followers of Jesus, we are called to be thankful. In particular, we are called to be thankful to God. We are called to give thanks to God the Father through his son, Jesus Christ. While we have much to thank God for, I believe that one of God's greatest gifts to us is each other. We are a gift to one another. God has put us together. God has brought us to Rockland Community Church from so many different places, from so many different denominational backgrounds, and from so many different walks of life. In the midst of this diversity, we are called, I believe, to thank God for one another! | 11/18/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

Do you trust Me? | You may recall that last week I said that trust is the basis for unity. Unless and until we truly trust God and truly trust one another, we will not experience unity. Think about it, Jesus told us that the two most important things we could do were to love God with all of our heart, and with all of our soul and with all our mind; and to love our neighbor as ourself. Can you do this, can we fully love God and one another without trust? Do we really trust God? | 11/11/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

Unity | You see, unity begins with, and is sustained by, words like us,we, ours, theirs, yours and ends with words like me, myself, and I and my and mine. Unity is not cultivated by selfinterest. Unity is not watered by power, greed, or fear. We will not bear the fruit of unity unless and until we put the desires and interests of God and others far above our own. | 11/4/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

Proclaiming the Good News | So what is the good news? The good news isnt just that if you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior that you will go to heaven after you die. Yes, that is good news. It is very good news. But there is more to it than that. Much more! The good news declared by Jesus is that the Kingdom of God is near! It is at hand! | 9/23/07 | Free | View In iTunes |
