A Few of My Favorite Sermons

Preaching regularly for 2 years now has been a huge blessing to my soul. I reflected a little on what I have preached over the past 2 years and I thought I would recommend a few of my sermons that have left a mark on my soul. Picking a few "favorite" sermons is kind of like trying to pick a favorite child: it is an impossible task. Every sermon has captured my full attention. Every week I spend 40+ hours studying, praying, debating, agonizing, and delivering these sermons. Each week God has met me, spoken to me, and given me a passion to help my people "get" the truth of the passage. Understanding that, here are a few of my favorite sermons (in no particular order):

1. Jesus Secures and Satisfies - John 6:30-40

2. Hold Fast to the Gospel - 1 Corinthians 15:1-5

3. The Suffering Substitutionary Savior - Isaiah 53

4. The God of the Resurrection - Hebrews 13:20-21

5. The Curse-Absorbing Sacrifice of Christ - Galatians 3:10-14

6. A Church Captivated by the Glory of Christ - Colossians 1:15-23

7. Boasting Only in the Cross - Galatians 6:14

8. Living Carefully Together - Ephesians 5:15-21

9. The Glory of Jesus - John 1:1-5

10. The Powerful God Who Pursues - Jonah 1

Regarding your sermon, Jesus Secures and Satisfies: I have never thought of the book of John as a display case of the Glory of God until you used that illustration. But as I think on that it is true of all of God's Word.

That is only one of the many nuggets of truth that I took from this message. The main nugget that I needed to be reminded of is that it is Jesus (and only Jesus) that gives provides security and He is the one that satisfies. So often I fill myself with the stale bread of the world.

Thank you Justin for teaching God's truth with passion.

Ginnie,
You are exactly right. The entire Bible is meant to reveal the glory of the Savior. I just used John for that message because thats where we were.
