1. Honoring The Ultimate Father
Contributed on Jun 20, 2022
Friend, there’s more than one kind of profanity. Not all profanity takes place at the construction site or a bar. A lot of profanity takes place inside the church house. I want to tell you what kind of profanity it is.
Happy Father’s Day to you all. You have to have some “dad jokes on Father's Day,” right? When does a joke become a “dad joke”? When it becomes apparent. What do you call a thousand rabbits walking backward? A receding hairline. My friend was showing me his tool shed and pointed to a ladder. ...read more

2. It's A Love Hate Relationship
Contributed on Jun 21, 2022
Would that your lips never question God’s love for you! Would that your mind never doubt God’s love for you! Would that your heart never cease to wonder at God’s love for you!
We are majoring in the minor Prophets this summer. Summer means baseball and the major leagues as well! Most of you know the name Jackie Robinson. Robinson was the first African American to break into Major League Baseball. Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier on April 15, 1947, when he donned ...read more

3. Discovering Your "why" For Life
Contributed on Jul 18, 2022
Worship is the centerpiece that governs everything in your life, my believing friends. A centerpiece is where the presence of one thing governs everything else related to your life spiritually. The Bible says every little piece of our lives is to honor the Lord.
This morning, I want to talk to you about Discovering Your Why for Life. One day a man walks up to Jesus and says, “Lord, what’s the most important thing in the Bible?” Jesus replied this way: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 ...read more

4. 3 Simple Rules For Making A Marriage Work
Contributed on Sep 12, 2022
In the next few moments, I want to help you celebrate marriage, whether married, divorced, or single. God gave us marriage for our happiness. God gave us marriage to be a blessing in our lives. Your marriage can serve as a catalyst for your relationship with God.
When I say the word “marriage,” what do you think? Are you a little jaundice about the idea of marriage? I spoke to a lady recently who said when I got married I was looking for the ideal, instead, the marriage became an ordeal, so now I want a new deal. One day, a man went to the Super Bowl, ...read more

5. Return To Me
Contributed on Sep 12, 2022
Superheroes have captured Americans’ imagination for a long time. We all know the saying, “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s Superman!” It’s not an angel coming. It’s not a prophet coming. It’s the Lord Himself coming. “It’s a prophet. It’s an angel. No, it’s the Lord.”
I invite you to find the book of Malachi with me if you will [page 954 in your pew Bibles]. Today’s Scripture You have wearied the LORD with your words. But you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them.” Or by ...read more

6. Come Home To The Lord
Contributed on Sep 12, 2022
Again, God says, “Return to me, and I will return to you.” The Lord says, “I don’t want this distance between us, RETURN, come back home!”
Consider this: An archbishop was carrying more than $460,000 across the border from Lebanon to Israel in the past month. I think immediately, “What’s a religious priest doing with that much money! How in the world did he think he was going to bring this through customs!” As the priest attempted to ...read more

7. The Fear Of The Lord
Contributed on Sep 12, 2022
Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.
Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more

8. The Judgment Of The Almighty
Contributed on Sep 12, 2022
The Old Testament prophets predicted a day so alarming that even those who are religiously careless wake from their moral sleepiness. They frequently refer to it as “that day” when the nations are judged.
It is widely regarded as one of the best films of all time, Shawshank Redemption was released nearly thirty years ago in 1994. It became an instant classic telling the tale of an innocent man in prison who eventually gains his freedom through a satisfying escape plan. And if watched any TV in the ...read more

9. Heal My Home
Contributed on Sep 12, 2022
This past week, we did a five-question survey about our church’s teenagers' relationship with their fathers. We asked our church’s middle school and high school students five questions and one bonus question about their relationship with their father this week. We
Today, I want to speak to you on this subject “Heal My Home.” Find Malachi 4 with me if you will [page 955 in your pew Bibles]. I have been challenged by Malachi, the Minor Prophet and I hope you have been challenged as well. As close out the last book in the Bible, the prophet Malachi directs our ...read more
