The Greatest Mark of a True Christian

Heart of Flesh ·

2025/10/31

In Ephesians 3:17 we find one of the greatest descriptions of Christians to be found. We are a people who are, "rooted and grounded in love." You see, love is the peculiar mark of a Christian. It is the one thing, above all others, that sets apart the people of God from the world. In this sermon I highlight two things that this verse teaches us about love: #1 - Love is Essential to Being a Christian...Someone cannot be a true Christian without being overcome by and infused with the love of God...#2

The Value of Wisdom & The Fear of the Lord

2025/10/13

The Bible has a great deal to say about wisdom and how much we ought to value and seek it. In fact, there is a whole category of books in the Bible that we often refer to as "Wisdom Literature." One of these books is the book of Job, and near the middle of the book, in chapter 28, Job gives some very interesting reflections on the topic of wisdom. Quite interestingly, this unique chapter actually provides a great summary of many of the most important themes of wisdom that we find in other books of

How to Know if You're in an Unhealthy/Unbiblical Church

2025/10/03

Few things are more influential upon your Christian life than the local church to which you belong. In fact, the most important things about you... what you believe about God, about Jesus Christ, about the gospel, about eternity, etc... these things are largely shaped by the church that you belong to. So being part of a healthy church is very important.With that said, the million dollar question that follows is this: How do I know if I'm in a healthy church? What does a healthy church look like

If I were to ask you the question, "Where do you think the glory of God is most evident in the world today?" I wonder what you would say. Of course, many people would point to things like beautiful sunsets, or great mountains, or the awe-inspiring galaxies that number in the trillions, but this text provides us with a very surprising answer to that question. In these verses, we see that God intends for the greatest manifestation of his glory to be seen in the Church of Jesus Christ! This is where

If Anyone Thirsts... | John 7:37-39

Heart of Flesh ·

2025/09/23

Throughout the Bible we often see the idea of "thirst" being used as an image of an intense desire. Jesus himself often uses this same description to highlight the deep spiritual longings and desires that we all have. If we're honest, all of us must admit that we long for lasting joy and satisfaction and fulfillment, and that it is this same desire that motivates all of our actions... Inescapably, we long for the spiritual thirst in our souls to be satisfied!Remarkably, in John 7:37-39, Jesus tells

Two Ways to Live | Psalm 1

2025/09/15

All throughout the Bible we see this reality that there are only two types of people in the world. In Genesis 3:15 there is the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman. In the book of Proverbs there is the wise and the foolish.In the teaching of Jesus there is the sheep and the goats, the wheat and the tares, the good trees and the bad trees, those who enter by the narrow gate and those who enter by the wide gate, those who build their lives on the rock and those who build on the sand.All

Heavenly Mysteries Revealed | Ephesians 3:4-5

Heart of Flesh ·

2025/09/10

The idea of Divine "mysteries" is something that we see scattered throughout the Bible, and very interestingly, this idea of a mystery (Greek: μυστήριον (mystērion)) is not the same thing as what we commonly refer to as mysteries today. What's also interesting is that the book of Ephesians has the most uses of this word "mystery" out of any book in the Bible (7x), and most of them are concentrated in this one section from Ephesians 3:1-13. So what is a divine or heavenly "mystery?" Listen to this

Heaven on Earth: The True Citizenship of the Church

Heart of Flesh ·

2025/08/26

There are many rich images used to depict the nature of the Church in the New Testament. The Body of Christ, the Salt of the Earth, etc... One scholar notes as many as 96 of them! Part of the picture this gives us is that the church is so glorious, and the wonderful truths about it are so myriad, that it requires many different images to draw out all of its beauty. Sort of like the way in which the luster of a diamond is drawn out when examined from different angles and in different lighting. In

God's Kingdom & God's King | Psalm 72

Heart of Flesh ·

2025/08/20

In Matthew 13 Jesus tells a parable about the kingdom of heaven and he says that, "the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." The point of this parable is that there is nothing more valuable than the kingdom of God, and that, like the man in the parable, we should not allow anything to stand in the way of our entering that kingdom. Psalm 72 has much to say about the kingdom of

The Prince of Peace | A Sermon on Ephesians 2:14-15

2025/07/29

Hundreds of years before Jesus came into the world, the prophets spoke of him as one that would bring peace. They said things like that he would be the "Prince of Peace" and that "of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end." (Isaiah 9:6-7) Zechariah 9:10 said that "he shall speak peace to the nations." Micah 5:2 speaks of a ruler that would come forth from Bethlehem and it says that "he shall be their peace."In Ephesians 2:14, Paul says that Jesus is himself our peace. He

2025/07/08

Abortion is without a doubt the greatest evil in our day. Since 1973, the number of babies killed by abortion in the United States is over 65 million. That's more than 80x the population of North Dakota and 10 times the number of Jews believed to be killed in the Holocaust. Even more tragic is how many abortions take place outside the United States. Some estimates say the U.S. accounts for as little as 3% of the world's abortions per year and a recent article by the World Health Organization stated

Covenant Theology: An Introduction and Overview

2025/07/03

The concept of Covenants are very important in the Bible. They are central to the Bible's unfolding storyline, and they are central for a proper understanding of the relationship that exists between God and Man. Yet, in much of the church today, covenants are not often discussed and even less often understood. In this episode, James Kaczor gives a brief overview of Covenant Theology. He touches on the Tri-covenantal Framework often espoused by Reformed Theologians (Summary Below)Covenant of

In the last few weeks in North Dakota we've seen some very destructive weather, including a once in a lifetime storm that resulted in some devastating fatalities. And in addition to the loss of human life, this storm left in its path the destruction of many people's homes and much other valuable property. In many ways and for many people, this event, in the truest sense of the word, was a tragedy. Now oftentimes when we see tragedies in the world, they sort jolt us awake to certain realities and

Saved For Good Works, Not By Good Works: Ephesians 2:10

Heart of Flesh ·

2025/06/24

What is the role of good works in salvation? This is a huge question, and one that has caused a great deal of controversy. All the religions in the world (and some who profess to be Christian) say that, at least in some sense, we are saved by good works. However, the Scriptures teach that God "Saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ

God's Pursuit of His Glory & Our Pursuit of Joy

2025/06/18

Blaise Pascal once said: “All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves.”I think he is spot in saying this. We cannot escape the fact that we act according to what we desire and

The most important question in the world is the question of how people get saved. The question of exactly how it is that sinful humans can become right with a holy God. On this question hangs the eternal destiny of every person. In this passage in Ephesians 2:8-9, the Apostle Paul lays out some of the most foundational truths of the gospel message that set Christianity apart from every other religion and belief system in the world. In every other religion and every false gospel man is saved by

But God... A Sermon on Ephesians 2:4

In Ephesians 2:1-3, the Apostle lays out the hopeless plight of fallen humanity. He says that fallen humanity is dead in trespasses and sins, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air (Satan). He says that by nature we are children of wrath and that our lives were once dominated by the passions of our flesh (a reference to the destructive desires of our sinful nature). But then in v. 4 we find some of the greatest words in the Bible... "But God..." Just like

The Beauty of the Body of Christ: Ephesians 1:22-23

Many Christians today tend to have very low views of the Church. In fact, many people treat the Church like a pesky side effect of coming to Jesus. They want all the benefits that Jesus provides, without all the mess of belonging to the Church. But the Bible shows us a much different picture of the Church than we often hear. The Bible often makes reference to the Church as the Bride of Christ, and Ephesians 5:25 says that Christ "loved the church, and gave himself up for her." It also the Church

In Acts 11:19-30, we see the founding of the Church at Antioch. This Church, which seems to be the first Church to bring in many Gentiles, is a church that plays a major role in the book of Acts and throughout Church History. As we look at this passage we find some interesting developments of the church in Acts and also many things that are applicable for the life of the church today.
