    In this sermon and text we look to the past, present, and future to interpret the meaning of the confrontation between Artemis of the Ephesians and the Gospel.

    Ghost Town Acts 19:23-41 3/12/06 PSCOC NOTE: POWER POINT PICTURES WERE USED IN THIS SERMON WHICH GREATLY ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE OF THE SERMON ITSELF. I USED MANY PICTURES FROM WHAT IS LEFT OF EPHESUS AND ARTEMIS’ TEMPLE TO HIGHLIGHT THE ’GHOST TOWN’ CONCEPT. I FOUND MOST OF THESE ON-LINE, BUT ...read more

    This sermon encourages believers to pray with great expectations because God sees out trials, God hears our prayers and God will deal with our enemies.

    Subject: Praying With Great Expectations Acts 12:5-25 Introduction: The graphic scene of Acts 12 is not strange to the Church. The church has always faced opposition.

    Even the great saints among us, like the Apostle Paul, sang the blues from time to time. Paul was healed of his near-depression by supernatural intervention by God.

    This is the final message in a series from the book of Lamentations.

    Our culture is perhaps the most unique culture to ever exist on the earth. Our mindset is unlike any other in history. We live in what is called a “Post Modern” world. When Pontus Pilate asked Jesus, “What is truth?” He could never have known that he was echoing the sentiment of an entire culture. ...read more

    Getting Back On Course In Christian Marriage Series

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Apr 9, 2008
    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,291 views

    This is the second sermon in a series of four on Christian marriage which deals with Getting at the Heart of God’s Plan, Being Mutually Submissive as well as Leaving and Cleaving - from an “exchanged life’ perspective.”

    It doesn’t take a social scientist to figure out that marriage today is in trouble. Adultery, divorce, depression, alcoholism, work-alcoholism, and a host of other “isms” have reached epidemic proportions. It may have been Benjamin Franklin who said, “A disease is never brought under control ...read more

    Tagging Along Or Truly Following Jesus

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,986 views

    Jesus called disciples to follow him. What did he really mean by "follow me"? Luke 9 gives us some insight.

    Martin Luther once said, “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.” (from Philip Gunther’s intro.) What does Jesus mean when he says, “Follow me”? We need to ask ourselves, am I just tagging along or truly following Jesus? When Jesus says to us, ...read more

    These are the 6 roars of the lion as implied in Peter’s warning about the devil and how to deal with them.

    MUZZLING THE LION’S ROAR “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion…” (1 Peter 5:8). Our cat epitomizes evil. Twice in the last week or so he has appeared at the patio doors with a bird in his mouth. He’s trying to impress us but I find it revolting to see this poor bird in the ...read more

At one point while we were at the park I was repeatedly throwing him in the air and catching him just before he hit the ground.

    There comes a time when you are ready to graduate, fly solo, go out and do a ministry apart from the nurturing Christian environment in which you grew. Joshua gives us some help on prospering and remaining faithful.

    We had a very exciting and very emotion filled spring. My daughter Beth, my baby, graduated from college. I remember very well when she was about to start classes four years before. She openly wondered if she could actually do college level work. Well, she did indeed and now has a college diploma ...read more
