Three Challenges for the Church

This message is about evaluating where we are right now, and trying to push toward what is ahead. We need to seek authentic Christianity. A real experience of the grace of Jesus Christ is a frightening, humbling, and freeing thing.

Special guests, and more...

This most recent Sunday, we enjoyed the Schwaiger family, Austrians who are here in the States following the Lord and preparing to serve somewhere here in the U.S. We heard their story, and were challenged to remember the great ministry of the Gospel, that we have so many who need to hear the truth about Jesus Christ.

Getting caught up again

If there is anything consistent about what I do, it's that it is consistently inconsistent. So, for those that use the blog here to keep up on church stuff, you've probably been really confused by the lack of updates.

Sermon Audio can be found at sermon.net/kendrickbiblechurch

There is a way to subscribe to the sermon audio, so take a look, and please contact me with any questions. I will continue to use the blog, although in the future I hope we are going to move to a real website that will be much more user friendly.

Also, the church Facebook page will have updates too, so please make sure you like Kendrick Bible Church on Facebook, and keep in touch with us there!

The newest sermon, "Understanding Freedom, Part 6," is up on the sermon.net page.

A wee bit of catching up

For some reason, the blog was neglected for a few months. I apologize that I didn't keep it current, but most folks reading here have hopefully been able to get sermon audio any way at the Sermon.net page.

There are a number of sermons there now, including a recent series on Christian Freedom. Have a listen, and please feel free to leave comments or questions.

Back to Second Corinthians

We're returning to our series in 2 Corinthians, picking up where we left up. In this passage, Paul starts talking about giving, but does so from the perspective of showing the example of some other churches, as well as talking about the importance of finishing what we start.

Prayer, unity, and being a Super Christian

Due to illness last week, I forgot to get the previous sermon posted, so here's two week's worth. This will probably conclude our little rabbit trail of messages about the times we live in, at least for now. Enjoy!

How Do We Prepare?

In a continuation of last week's sermon, I wanted to further explore the idea of preparing for the times that are ahead of us. It would seem that our nation and our culture continue to accelerate in their path away from anything resembling biblical truth. How are we supposed to respond to that?

In Times Like These

Stop the presses! I'm actually posting a sermon in a timely fashion!

Anyway, this message really isn't a sermon as much as stuff that I just can't get out of my head lately. I apologize for how quiet the discussion is at the end, we're really not able to record the voices very well out in the room, but hopefully you can still get the gist of what's going on.

Easter and more...

With strange weather and some vacation time, there are a few weeks I don't have anything recorded. But, here's two recent messages that cover our partnership with Village Missions, as well as the sermon from Easter Sunday, 2013.

Separation and Compassion

I'm not sure exactly why I seem to be posting every other week. I'll try to get that sorted out. But, for now, here's the last two messages from 2 Corinthians. In the end of chapter 6, we deal with the passage and context of Paul telling the Corinthians not to be unequally yoked. And then, in chapter 7, Paul writes about repentance, but also of his confidence in the church at Corinth. There are many lessons we can take from that, since we all fall short, as did they.

Paul, reconciliation, and authenticity

In the end of chapter 5 and the beginning of chapter 6 in 2 Corinthians, Paul is all about trying to lay out the reality of how God reaches out to us through Jesus Christ. This is one of the most important theological points in 2 Corinthians, and understanding reconciliation is incredibly important in shaping our Christian life. Paul takes that idea as well, explaining how God has used him in ways that are unexpected, but real, in terms of his experience as an ambassador of the Gospel.

On Eternity and Love...

The last two Sundays, we've been journeying through 2 Corinthians chapter 5. The sermon from February 3rd is about the resurrection body and the hope and courage we should have here because of that. The sermon from the 10th deals with Paul's defense of his ministry, and the mark of a true ministry, which is love, not sensationalism.

Looking ahead

Sunday's sermon was about Paul looking ahead to the greater glory of eternity, thereby making it possible for him to endure the day to day trials of life. A good reminder for all of us.

Jars of Clay

Last week, we had technical difficulties and were unable to record the sermon. The technical difficulty was that I forgot my tablet, which I record on, and only remembered it about when I started preaching.

So, this week's sermon is the next in the series, dealing with Paul's famous words about being a jar of clay. It's a great passage with tremendous implications for the type of Christian life we should seek to emulate.

Messages from the weekend

It was a long weekend, but it seems all went well. I have a raw, unedited recording from Sheree's funeral service, and it has a few flaws, partly because I recorded it with my tablet from the pulpit. A few parts are hard to hear, but if there is anyone who wasn't able to make it to the service, please direct them this way.

Also, the next sermon from 2 Corinthians is up as well. Thanks for listening!
