Colossians, Part 10: Raising the Spiritual Bar

Colossians, Part 10: Raising the Spiritual Bar

March 21, 2021 Mike Minter Sermons Colossians

The letter to the Colossians ends with greetings and encouragement to others who are doing the work of ministry with Paul. Without these spiritual “soldiers” proclaiming the gospel and suffering for the kingdom of God, we would not be here as Christians today.

Give & Take: The Power of Encouragement, Part 4

Give & Take: The Power of Encouragement, Part 4

June 3, 2012 Mike Minter Sermons 1 Corinthians

The greatest encouragement we can give someone is to love them, but the apostle Paul gives us an impossible standard for love in 1 Corinthians 13. Biblical love is always at odds with the self-centered elements our fallen nature like envy, jealousy and pride. To love someone in the truest sense is impossible apart from Christ.

Give & Take: The Power of Encouragement, Part 3

Give & Take: The Power of Encouragement, Part 3

May 27, 2012 Mike Minter Sermons Luke, Mark

To the degree that encouraging words are invigorating, to the same degree discouraging words are paralyzing. There is no lack of discouragement in our lives – how do we as individuals encourage our own souls? Courage is not a lack of fear, but a willingness to face fear in life in the power that God provides.

Give & Take: The Power of Encouragement, Part 2

May 20, 2012 Mike Minter Sermons 2 Corinthians, Esther, Nehemiah, Romans

Discouragement abounds, because to follow Jesus is to constantly go against the grain of the fallen aspects of the world and society around us. Thus, daily encouraging those who are already in the faith is vital.

Give & Take: The Power of Encouragement, Part 1

May 13, 2012 Mike Minter Sermons Acts

Without encouragement, there can be no hope, and without hope, there can be no life. The temporary encouragement we give in life builds the platform to communicate eternal hope through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Gift Exchange

Gift Exchange

December 11, 2011 Jason Goetz Sermons Genesis, Hebrews

Whenever we are given a gift, we have three options of what we can do with it: hide it, use it, or exchange it. Jason Goetz looks at some of the worst “gift exchanges” in biblical history and shares how encouragement can help us not exchange the great gift we have in Christ for something of infinitely less value.
