Finding God’s Call (Part I): If you are saved, you are called
This is the first in a series of sermons I am delivering on Finding God’s Call. In this part, I use the call of Jeremiah to illustrate the calling of God. And I emphasize this main point – IF you are a Christian, God has specific good works for you to discover and do, and in them are the satisfaction you are seeking.

How to Identify False Teachers – Matthew 7: 15-20
Ever been in a church where they are heavy handed, hellfire and brimstone, and only negative? Where they emphasize obedience to outward rules like what clothing to wear? Where they treat you like a rebellious sinner if you question authority? Odds are, you’ve probably been experiencing an unhealthy church with a false teacher, or false prophet, at the helm.
Ever been in a church where they are overwhelmingly positive, and never talk about sin? In fact, some things that traditional Christians call sin, they say are just fine and as God intended? Odds are, you’ve probably been experiencing an unhealthy church with a false teacher, or false prophet, at the helm.
Confused? Not after you listen to this latest message, How to identify false teachers.
Ask, Seek, Knock (Matthew 7:7-10)
Here’s my second sermon.
Points include:
- Ask – you have not because you ask not
- Seek – don’t just ask, take action
- Knock – persevere when things get hard
Do Not Judge – Matthew 7:1-6
This is my first sermon, preached at my small country church.
Points include:
- Take the log out of your own eye
- Let truth into your own heart first
- We give mental assent to truth instead of doing it
- Do correct your brother
