    This evening, we begin an 8-part series on the life of David. We entitled it, “Slaying Your Giants”. These messages are inspired largely by Max Lucado’s book, “Facing Your Giants”, 2006. When I mention David, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? For me, it’s the classic story of ...read more

    The theme of this funeral homily is that in the midst of death we as Christian Disciples do not loose our courage, our hope, our faith, or our joy because we know Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us but will always take care of us.

    Be Not Dismayed, A Funeral Homily --I Samuel 17:1-11, 46-47; Deuteronomy 31:7-8; Isaiah 41:10; John 14:18 We have heard the reading of our primary text for the funeral homily for our departed sister Barbara Jean Bluff, and perhaps many of you are wondering “How does the story of David’s battle ...read more

    God looks beyond the outward appearance and He wants us to be the same.

    James 2:1-10, 14-17 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 The problem with human beings is that too often we judge things by how they appear and miss the bigger picture. We take notice of all sorts of things like what colour people are, where they were born, how they talk, how much money they have, what car ...read more

     | 24,121 views

    The way that David’s music ministered to Saul’s heart, music in worship can minister to ours. I include some suggestions for getting the most out of our music in worship.

    Introduction: A. Music is a powerful force – It gets our attention; it grabs our hearts; it transforms our souls. 1. This is the case because God has made it so. 2. God is the one who has created music and created us in a way that music ministers to us. 3. Not only that, God has also given ...read more

    We can learn to much from David about how to fight our own giants. Perhaps the most important lesson is for us to remember is that the battle is the Lord’s.

    david and goliath

    By any earthy standard, the outcome of this battle would be "sure thing." However, when God enters the picture the entire outcome becomes quite different because of faith. It is interesting that David chose five smooth stones from the brook when only one was needed. Why did David do this? There is ...read more
