Skip Rush, Find Rest
Contributed on Dec 17, 2007
Do you ever feel like life is flying by, out of control? You want to get off, but it is like a merry-go-round that is moving too fast. Jumping off can hurt more than staying on! So you just hold on and keep flying. I think we have that problem year rou
Do you ever feel like life is flying by, out of control? You want to get off, but it is like a merry-go-round that is moving too fast. Jumping off can hurt more than staying on!

Skip Excess, Find Simplicity
Contributed on Dec 17, 2007
Worry is a big problem, especially at Christmas time. We shouldn’t be chasing after and worrying about things that non-Christian people chase! The sins of worry and fretting over things might be acceptable sins to people, but they aren’t to God! Worry is
You might be wondering why I am starting a Christmas series even before Thanksgiving. Well, the stores start Christmas now, so I figure if you can’t beat em, join em! That is only partially true.

How To Treat Your Salvation
Contributed on Dec 17, 2007
This sermon was preached right after the Virginia Tech shootings. Aside from the apostle Paul, I don’t know if we see a greater change in anyone than John. He went from a "son of thunder" to one who said, "little children, let us love one another." It
As we continue through some of the smallest letters in the New Testament, we come to two of the letters written by the apostle John.

How To Treat The Good The Bad And The Ugly
Contributed on Dec 17, 2007
3 John gives to us a glimpse into the life and struggles of the church of the first century. They struggled with the truth and with personalities. To borrow the words of a New Testament scholar: “Third John is all about the Elder, who wrote it; Gaius, who
Jay Leno once said that the Christmas tree is the perfect houseplant for him because it is already dead. And that’s probably true for many of us. Growing house plants sometimes is hard work. One preacher was given a Peace Lily for a wedding gift. I don’t know what the symbolism means. Peace ...read more

But there was a time when you got to Christmas and it all slowed down. You would have the week between Christmas and New Year’s sort of as the holiday.

Contributed on Dec 17, 2007
John the Baptist lived a simple life, even by their standards. In Luke 3 he gives us an important teaching that tends to get eliminated in our society.

Contributed on Dec 17, 2007
Do you remember me saying that none of Mary’s family was there for the birth? It wasn’t that way at his death. We don’t know her name, but it doesn’t matter. Those words say a lot, “his mother’s sister.” Because of the way Mary lived her life, at least one member of her family came around. She ...read more
