                    This week in preparation for this sermon I came across statistics for how much Proctor and Gamble spends on TV advertising each year. Guess how many of their dollars go to television? You couldn’t guess if you tried. They spend $3 Billion each year. To put that figure in perspective, it’s 50% more

                    As I prepared for my sunday sermon and I struggled with my own hardships and how to describe the security that we have in Christ, I began to observe the spider.  Every week I would faithfully rid the house of cobwebs. And every week I would find more. And I felt in my heart that as Christains we

                    When I was preparing this sermon I had just seen again the film ’Gandhi’ and was moved by the account of that great Indian leader - how he overcame injustice and oppression, not by force, but by non-violent resistance.  He said to his followers, ’so long as we’re peaceful, the initiative is ours,

Joshua died at 110 years old in 1380 B.C. He assumed leadership around 1406 B.C. Therefore, he was around 85 years old when he took command from Moses!Before Joshua ever took the reigns, he had been a servant, a soldier and a spy. Some feel that you can make a man by giving him

                    PREPARING FOR DEPARTURE
I once read how, in the spring of 1981, a young man was flown into desolate northern Alaska to photograph the natural beauty and mysteries of the tundra. He took along 500 rolls of film, several firearms, and 1,400 pounds of provisions. 
As the months passed, the words in

One day, a king died. His servants spread the unbelievable news all over the palace. He had died in his bed of natural causes.
"Where has he gone?" asked one of the king's wisest counselors
"Why, to Heaven of course!" answered all the others.
"No", said the other gravely, "I

Several years ago, I was on staff with a fellow pastor who had been suffering with diabetes and its ill effects for most of his life. He was a single dad with two sons who were the same ages as two of my boys. His name was Mike, and we were close in age.

Some years later, with his children entering their teens, he returned to his theme, but the same sermon was entitled:
