Lawson Road CoC Teaching

Is power a good thing for Christians to seek? What should we do with power when we get it? Just two of the questions adressed in this week's sermon.

God doesn't just call his people to be good. He calls us to do good. The book of Esther tells of two people thrust into roles of prominence and challenged to embrace their new responsibilities. What lesson does this story have for our lives?

Many Christians want the church to proclaim Jesus rather than justice. They particularly criticize "social justice" in the church. Maybe they haven't spent much time studying the Hebrew prophets. Habakkuk has an important message for the church today. How will we respond?

Elisha asks Elijah for "a double portion of your spirit". What does that mean? And what does it mean to us? This sermon explores this often overlooked passage of Scripture.

Taking the Lord's Supper weekly becomes a routine. But some routines are good. This sermon presents a variety of ways to "remember Jesus" that will help keep Communion fresh and meaningful as we observe the weekly routine of breaking bread.

People attend church each Sunday for many different reasons. Sometimes, we don't even realize the impact it has upon us. This sermon prompts us to consider how God uses worship to inspire us to pursue greatness in his kingdom, as we serve those around us.
