    Ephesians 2:1-10

    By: Dr. Chris Moore

    This sermon was preached on the eve of the 2016 presidential election. How should Christians think about politics? Some think there are certain controversial issues such as politics that Christians should avoid. On the other hand, some think the solution to all our problems is found through political involvement. To help answer these difficult issues, we go to God’s Word and discover several timeless principles for how Christians should think about the relationship between the church and the state.

    Resurrection of the Past, Present and Future
    By: Dr. Chris Moore
    Series: Specials
    In Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, the main character experiences Christmas past, present, and future. In this Easter sermon, we visit the resurrection of the past, present, and future. We talk about how Jesus’ resurrection in the past guarantees our resurrection in the future. However, the only way we can have confidence and hope in this future event is if we experience a resurrection in the present. We learn from 1 Corinthians 15 what this involves and how we can experience this resurrection.
