A New Sermon Host, and New Sermons

I apologize for the delay in getting the last couple weeks posted. I'm moving to a new file host, due to some issues that I was not pleased with at the last place. There may be a few bugs to work out, but hopefully things will work out fairly smoothly. If you notice any problems, please let me know and I will do my best to address them. You can listen to the sermons using the links below, or listen to them on the new page at sermon.net: http://sermon.net/kendrickbiblechurch

For the iTunes folks, you'll have to subscribe to a new feed:

If for some reason you have trouble getting that feed to work, contact me and I will try to help you figure out a solution.

We're working our way deeper in to 2 Corinthians, and the last two weeks basically dealt with Paul's discussion of his rift with the church at Corinth. It's an interesting point of study as we see aspects of Paul's ministry through an inside perspective.

The Persecuted Church

This Sunday was the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 1:8-11 speak about his struggles during some persecution, so it was fitting for us to talk about that in relation to the serious trials that Christians face around the world still today.

A New Sermon Series...

This Sunday, we jumped into one of the more eclectic letters of the New Testament, 2 Corinthians. I say that because it doesn't follow the pattern of Paul's other letters, per say, nor does it have the heavily didactic or doctrinal feel that some books do. What is does do, though, is show the apostle's heart for ministry, and there are definitely applicable lessons for us. We looked at the first seven verses of chapter one this week.

Contentment, Part 3

If contentment is not convenience, then what is contentment? Maybe another way to look at it is like this: If I want to be content, truly content, then seeking what feeds my desires quickly will probably not lead to contentment. Finding the way to be truly satisfied is not necessarily easy, but I believe the Bible lays out the path for us. We looked at several passages in Sunday's sermon that can give us some direction in that pursuit.

Contentment, Part 2

This was a continuation from last week's sermon, although I feel it was perhaps too open ended. Contentment has been a very hard topic, mostly because I am realizing how discontent I am sometimes. Lord willing, He will be working on me to change those self-interested patterns and the quest for convenience. I want to seek true contentment. But, it's not very convenient...

The Pursuit of Contentment

How content are you? Most of us, despite living in one of the most affluent cultures in history, are discontent. We want what we do not have, and yet when we get it, we are still unhappy. It shouldn't be a surprise that the Bible speaks about contentment quite a bit, and it seems that its a topic we need to be reminded about from time to time. Here's part 1 of The Pursuit of Contentment.

Finally back at it...

It's hard to believe that the last posts go back to the summertime, and I apologize for the delay. I haven't fixed all the problems with my laptop, but I did finally arrive at another recording solution, and as I start to use it more, I will hopefully be able to fine-tune the quality, as well as get the sermons back up in a more timely fashion.

There were a number of sermons in Genesis that simply were not recorded due to the technical issues we had, but of those that I do have, I will try to post some links to those soon. It looks as though our file host also fixed some problems with the way they assign links, so if anyone has any problems listening to or downloading the sermon, please let me know.

This most recent Sunday was simply a time to give praise and testify to God's goodness. My message was really more of a reflection on our recent addition to our family, and I hope I was able to express the gratefulness of new life!
