The Heavenly Court - by Michael Phillips
| | Scenes in Job - Part 1 | | MP3 - WMA - Sermon Notes | |
Job 1:1-12
| | Jan 06, 2019 am - Most of my friends think I'm an optimist. Most of my family think I'm a pessimist. Most of the time, I think I'm a realist. A realistic view of life is built on two Bible doctrines: Creation and Fall. In the beginning, the heavens and the earth were created by a good God who created every part ... More >>>

The Surpassing Greatness of the Word - by Michael Phillips
| | Advent 2018 - Part 5 | | MP3 - WMA - Sermon Notes | |
1 John 1:1-18
| | Dec 30, 2018 am - The human race can be divided into two, airtight, compartments: those who can tell a joke, and those who can't. The people who cannot tell a joke always fail for one of two reasons. Either: (1) they have no punch line, or, if they do, (2) they say it too soon. More than anything else, jokes depend ... More >>>

The Word Incarnate - by Michael Phillips
| | Advent 2018 - Part 4 | | MP3 - WMA - No Notes | |
John 1:9-14
| | Dec 23, 2018 am - Way back in about 1968, I first saw the bumper sticker- Keep Christ in Christmas. I agreed with it at the time, and now, fifty years later, I still do. If Jesus is 'The Reason for the Season', He has to be the central figure in our holiday celebration. I suppose this has always been hard to do, but ...

The Word and John - by Michael Phillips
| | Advent 2018 - Part 3 | | MP3 - WMA - Sermon Notes | |
John 1:6-8
| | Dec 16, 2018 am - Whatever Paganism or commercialism has added to the Christmas Story, its central figure remains God, who became a Man and was laid in a manger, because there was no room for Him in the inn. This is what Christmas is about: Not trees or gifts, parties, or time off work. It is about God becoming ... More >>>

The Word and Creation - by Michael Phillips
| | Advent 2018 - Part 2 | | MP3 - WMA - Sermon Notes | |
John 1:3-5
| | Dec 09, 2018 am - Christmas is the best time of year to talk to your neighbors and loved ones about Jesus-not because they need Him more in December than they do in July, but because they're more likely to listen now than they would be next summer. So, let's take every opportunity to speak up for Christ this Advent ... More >>>

Luke 4:16-18
| | Dec 09, 2018 pm - So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: ''The Spirit of the Lord is ...

The Word and God - by Michael Phillips
| | Advent 2018 - Part 1 | | MP3 - WMA - Sermon Notes | |
John 1:1-2
| | Dec 02, 2018 am - There is no bad time of the year to reflect on the birth of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. If shepherds, wise men, and angels rejoiced over His nativity, we must be safe in doing the same ourselves! The hymn that is so often on our lips, ought to be deeply felt in our hearts, every day- Joy to ... More >>>

Spiritual Conversation - by Michael Phillips
| | MP3 - WMA - Sermon Notes | |
Ephesians 4:29
| | Dec 02, 2018 pm - The subject of Ephesians 4 is Sanctification, that is, changing from what we used to be to what we're supposed to be. Back in Chapter 2, Paul tells us the change is complete and instantaneous. One moment, we are dead in trespasses and sins; the next we are made alive in Christ. Paul received this ... More >>>

Two Ways - by Michael Phillips
| | MP3 - WMA - Sermon Notes | |
Romans 10:1-13
| | Nov 25, 2018 am - Here's something you didn't expect me to say: There are two ways of salvation. By 'two ways of salvation', I don't mean 'two sources of salvation'. For the only wise God is our Savior, Jude says, and in saying it, he is but echoing the uniform witness of the prophets who said things like- Salvation ... More >>>

The Goodness (Part 2) - by Michael Phillips
| | Doctrine of Hell - Part 8 | | MP3 - WMA - Sermon Notes | |
Psalm 18:30
| | Nov 25, 2018 pm - In our last afternoon study, I took up the indefensible work of defending the Goodness of Hell. No decent person could be happy that people are going to Hell, and when they get there, they're going to stay there forever. I am not happy about this; the weeping Savior was not happy about this; and ... More >>>
