    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,106 views

    God hates when we misuse the body He has given us for sinful purposes. Why? Because God hates sin.

    The words hate and God do not seem to go together. Yet, the writer of Proverbs clearly declares that God hates something. What is it?

    Our involvement in church is no game. It has eternal consequences.

    When it comes to games, I don’t believe there is a more avid game player than my wife. She loves to play games. We have a card game that we like to play called "hand and foot." I like that one, but my wife likes ’em all. When we were first married, the first Christmas, her folks went to New ...read more

    A sermon on vision for a new year. This was written almost 10 years ago. Some of the illustrations may need to be update.

All of those ...read more

    You cannot know that God answers helpless prayers until you are in a helpless and hopeless situation. Only then will you come to know God as the God who answers helpless prayers.

    Tonight we’re talking about the power of helpless praying and what happens when we understand what God can do through our prayers. The Secret of Your Power Is Your Weakness What is the secret of power to you? If you’re Popeye, I guess the secret of power is a can of spinach. If you’re ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,282 views

    This sermon is from a Southern Baptist point of view concerning biblical authority. Even among Southern Baptists there is not complete agreement on the authority of Scripture. My point of view comes from my belief in the inerrancy of Scripture.

    Introduction With the exception of the Lord Jesus Himself, the Bible has been the single most important influence in my life. When Paul wrote of Timothy, "From childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in ...read more
