Bible Reading Plans

As many are thinking about several New Year’s resolutions, how about including this one on your list – a consistent Bible reading for the whole year. I don’t know any Christian who does not want to improve his/her Bible reading for the year. And there are several notable plans that can help. For instance, there [...]
The Jesus of Christmas

Tonight (12/23) I preached John 1:10-13, a message entitled “The Jesus of Christmas.” I originally planned to impose the following question as my introduction: Who is this Jesus that the whole world is celebrating this season? But then I was quickly reminded by our text that the world does not celebrate the same Jesus that [...]

Tonight (12/16) I finished my series “A Biblical Church Life” from Acts 6:1-6. Since I already addressed 8 biblical principles from Part 1 and Part 2 I began tonight with the 9th principle and more. They are as follows:
9. Organized structure is a means to glorify God in a local church.

I’ve been hearing a lot of people’s expressions about Christmas on a local Christian radio station here.

I often hear people say (callers and radio personalities) that Christmas is about the birth of [...]

Past Sunday (12/9) our church spent the Lord’s day together with Calvary Baptist Church (CBC) in Sleepy Eye, MN. Although it was about 2 hours of driving each way, it was a wonderful day full of God’s many blessings. For us, the day began with a joint worship service in the morning, where I actually [...]
A Biblical Church Life – Part 2
Posted in Biblical Studies, Church, Pastors, Preachers/Preaching on December 3, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Last night (12/2) I preached Part 2 of “A Biblical Church Life” from Acts 6:1-6. I believe what we can learn from this particular text directly impacts the life and growth of our church and other churches too. Since I already addressed first four points in the previous message, I started with #5 last night. [...]
