Joshua 22
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith How to Start a Church Fight SPEAKER: Paul T. Stolwyk Introduction: On Tuesday night, I watched the 400 IM swimming finals. Two American swimmers, Tom Dolan and Eric Namesnik, teammates at Michigan State, won the gold and the silver. It was an exciting race. Dolan and Namesnik were neck and neck the whole time. In the end, Tom just beat out Eric by a touch. What a triumph for the American swim team to have the two fastest men…
Joshua 24
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith Choose You This Day! SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: Life is saturated with choices. I would suppose that in any given day the average human being must make hundreds, if not thousands, of conscious choices. Most of them are undoubtedly inconsequential, but some of them may affect our lives permanently from that moment on. No decision is more momentous than the question of whom we will serve—the Lord God or some other god. For some this may be a…
Joshua 23
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith How to Walk with the Lord Your God SPEAKER: Paul T. Stolwyk Introduction: I think it was a couple of years ago when I realized for the first time that Billy Graham wasn’t going to be around forever. He has been such a part of the American landscape but also the whole world for almost 50 years, that I must have just assumed that he would always be here. But over the last couple of years Billy has…
Joshua 24:19
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith The Holiness and Jealousy of God SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note to David: A version of this sermon is posted already in “Joshua” but without audio. It is a sermon I did at Dallas Theological Seminary. It is also posted under the series, “Our Great and Awesome God.” I would leave it under “Our Great…God,” but remove it from “Joshua.” Use this one instead, which does have audio. Introduction: According to Genesis 1-3, God created man in His own image and…
Joshua 24:29-33
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith An Epitaph Worth Living For SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: I have always been fascinated by epitaphs. For years I have kept a file of my favorite ones, and whenever I get a chance, I like to browse through old graveyards looking for more. Over the years I have found some fascinating epitaphs in such out-of-the-way places as the old ghost town of Hamilton, NE, a tiny cemetery above Cripple Creek, CO, the graveyard at the old church…
Ephesians 1
Spiritual Warfare: The Battle for Freedom in Christ Who Are You? SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note to reader: These sermons on Ephesians are not my typical verse-by-verse exposition. Most were preached in 1990 in a series on “Spiritual Warfare: The Battle for Freedom in Christ.” I used Ephesians as a springboard for this series but referred to many other passages as well. Some of the sermons in the series are stand-alone messages preached at various times and various places. The early sermons from 30-35 years ago are not…

Eph. 2:11-22
Spiritual Warfare: The Battle for Freedom in Christ Reconciliation Between Enemies Is Possible SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: In the first half of Ephesians 2 the Apostle describes his audience as those who were dead in their trespasses and sins, who followed the ways of this world and of its ruler, Satan, who gratified the cravings of their sinful natures, and who were objects of wrath. That is an apt description of the status of every human being before God’s love and…

Ephesians 3:14-21
Spiritual Warfare: The Battle for Freedom in Christ Why Be An Ordinary Christian? Speaker: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the great English Baptist preacher of a century ago, said, “There is a point in the experience of the committed Christian which is as much above the experience of the ordinary Christian as the experience of the ordinary Christian is above the experience of the man who is not a Christian at all.” Think about that for a moment. Chances are your initial reaction…
