Today's sermon is from Thessalonians 5:12-24. The topic is Pauls encouragement to the early church to STAY ON TARGET. This is the first of Paul's letters of the New Testament, written about 50 A.D. He offers a dozen imperatives for Christian living and faithfulness to the early church, which he founded a loved dearly. He reminds them that the God of Peace is reliable and will help them accomplish these imperatives as they walk cole to the Lord. http://www.seaviewbaptist.com/podcast/20070729.mp3 (click here)

This is the last in the series on THE FANTASTIC FOUR. Our focus is the Gospel of John who portrays Jesus as the Son of God. The readings are from John 1:29-49; 20:30-31 which show John's purpose to be that of dultivating belief in Jesus as God's Son. John has a cosmic perspective and encourages "belief" 98 times in his Gospel. His perspective is quite different from the other Gospels wherein he highlights the divinity of Christ moreso than his humanity. (click here) http://www.seaviewbaptist.com/podcast/20070722.mp3

This is the 3rd sermon in the 4 part series THE FANTASTIC FOUR. The "four" of course refers to the four Gospels. This week we look at the Gospel of Luke which promotes Jesus as a "perfect man." His perfection has to do with his attitude towards others. In this sermon we look at Luke 19:1-10 the story of Zacchaeus, the tax collector. Luke wrote for Gentile believers and almost believers, and he did so, so that they might have a certainty about their faith. Luke ofgten shows Jesus being concerned about the disinherited, the poor and those whom others tended to shun. (click here) http://www.seaviewbaptist.com/podcast/20070715.mp3

This is the second sermon in a four part series titled:THE FANTASTIC FOUR. We're looking at the theme of each of the four gospels and how they present Jesus to the reader and believer. This week we consider Mark: Jesus as Servant. The text is Mark 2:1-12, the story of the four men who bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus for healing, but encounter a crowd of people in the way preventing them from getting to Jesus. We consider the three facets of the story: the Jesus facet, the friends facet and the crowd facet. The challenge is to find ourselves in the story and reflect on how we can be more faithful in bringing people into the presence of Jesus with out getting "in the way."

The FANTASTIC FOUR is a group of superheroes created by Marvel Comics to entertain children (and many adults). Their mission is to save the world from the evil ones. As Christians we too have a "fantastic four" in the Gospels. Their writers also have a mission - revealing God's love for the world in sending Jesus Christ. And of course his mission is also to save the world. This series of sermons will consider the central message or theme of each of the fastanstic four Gospels. This sermon is based on Matthew 27 and the many comments regarding Jesus as "King of the Jews." The title is: 1. Jesus as King. (Each week we'll explore a different Gospel writer's theme to gain a multi-perspective understanding of the One we call Lord and Savior. )
