Facing Impossible Odds (2 Chronicles 20) The Bible is literally a library of books (66 in all) that collectively tell the same inter-locking, over-arching story. Yet, at the same time, it is an amazing collection of smaller stories. Taken individually they have much to teach us. As believers, we can get so focused on the big story that we forget the smaller ones. In this series of sermons we will explore some of those smaller stories in order to benefit from the big lessons they are intended to teach. . . . .

David Defeats Goliath There are some biblical stories that are so big that most everybody has heard them before--even people who do not follow Jesus. We have spent the past several weeks looking at some of the smaller stories of the Bible, but today we turn our attention to the story of David and Goliath--one of the Bible's best known stories. As you listen, resist the temptation to run ahead and assume there is nothing new here. When we study God’s Word with an engaged mind and active imagination, we always find something new! . . . . .

Looking in the Wrong Places

Brad Bromling — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:58:22 GMT

Looking in the Wrong Places As the sun was rising, the women made their way through the fog of their discouragement to the graveyard. They carried spices to anoint the body of a friend and an almost unbearable load of disappointment. As they trudged along, they wondered how they would move the great stone that blocked the entrance of the tomb. To their shock, however, the stone had been rolled away. Quickly they entered the tomb, finding it empty. Their minds reeled and as they tried to make sense of what they were seeing, they were startled by the appearance of two angels who chided them with these words: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” That is a very good question! Today’s message will consider how we repeat their mistake and suggest a better way. . . . . . . [(c) Copyright 2009 Brad T. Bromling All Rights Reserved]

Christ Above All (Part 5)

Brad Bromling — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 04:21:22 GMT

Christ Above All (Part 5) While imprisoned in Rome, Paul was moved to write a letter of warning and encouragement to some new Christians. His main message? He wanted them to know that despite the many and varied messages to the contrary, Christ is above all--period. Paul's words are as relevant and needed today. The TV, Radio, Internet, and print media are filled with confusing and contradicting messages that promise what only Jesus can truly deliver—abundant life. This sermon series will explore and apply the words Paul wrote to the Colossians—and to us. . . . . [Copyright (c) 2008 by Brad T. Bromling All Rights Reserved]

This Means War (2)

Brad Bromling — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:23:03 GMT

This Means War! (2) Jesus pushed people beyond ambivalence and made it clear that as far as He was concerned, they must decide to accept or reject Him; there was no neutral ground! His arrival was a declaration of war! By establishing an outpost of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, He made a major encroachment into the enemy's territory and called every man, woman, boy and girl to choose a side. To claim Jesus as our Savior is to enlist in His army and to engage in a battle for the supremacy of God in our world! The battle is real and the stakes are eternal. While we may prefer other metaphors to describe our religious experience, we must embrace our role as soldiers in the army of God. This series of messages will encourage us to take up arms and fight the good fight. . . . . [Copyright (c) 2008 by Brad T. Bromling All Rights Reserved]

Is Happiness Overrated? (2)

Is Happiness Overrated? (2) Are you happy? What makes you happy? And what is happiness, anyway? Recently researchers have turned their attention to these questions and some of what they have discovered is surprising. For example: men tend to be happier than women; happier people make less money; Christians tend to be happier than atheists; and happiness doesn’t increase with wealth. The truth is, we all desire to be happy and most of us feel we have room for more happiness in our lives. Is there a biblical view of happiness? That is what this message is about. . . .. . .

Living in Epiphany

Brad Bromling — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 05:52:51 GMT

Living in Epiphany. Epiphany is celebrated by Christian communities around the world each January 6th. For some, it recalls the day the Magi brought gifts to honor the newborn king, to others it is a remembrance of Jesus’ baptism. The common thread that unites both is that Jesus’ true identity is revealed in these events; epiphany means “shining forth” or “unveiling.” In today’s message, we will consider what the Magi’s gifts say to us about Jesus and how we should live for Him this year.. . .. . .

In fact, the Christmas event is about God bringing these things to humanity. There is another word, though, that is necessary when discussing Christmas—that word is sin. Christmas is good news because we need it so desperately. In today's message, we will consider why without sin there would be no Christmas. . . . [copyright 2007 Brad T Bromling all rights reserved]

We even have clichés that assuage our guilt over inactivity: “Don’t make waves; don’t rock the boat.” And yet, there is a voice in us that resists.
