    The Lord Jesus had many wonderful things about Him that we can’t help but admire.

    The Bible tells us that every day Jesus went about doing good. He did that in several ways, for example: • He healed the sick • He fed the hungry But he did something else that we overlook when we consider all the good things He did. HE TALKED WITH PEOPLE. But He not only talked to people, He ...read more

    You can ride by most churches and they have a church sign outside telling the public what time their church services start.

    But I have a problem with some churches posting on their church signs they worship God between 11 to 12 . According to the Word of God this is somewhat misleading! HOW IS IT MISLEADING? It implies we worship the Lord one hour a week and this is not what the Bible teaches we christians should be ...read more

    There are churches being built all around the world. All Bible believers are excited about seeing Bible believing and Bible preaching churches being built that glorify this wonderful Savior we serve.

    But all churches being built are not for the glory of God! Illus: There was a church in Columbia, South Carolina, that was growing faster than any church in the area at one time. In fact, they advertised throughout the city that they were the “Fasting Growing Church” in the city. They were growing ...read more

    Give Them Something To Eat

    Can I tell you this morning, it’s a stressful thing to have no money, no manpower, and no way to meet the needs in front of you. And still Jesus says to you what he said to his men so long ago, “These people are hungry. Give them something to eat.”

    TITLE: GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO EAT SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 6:32-44 This is one of the great miracles of the Bible. 5000 hungry men show up uninvited and then stay for supper. Imagine ordering 5000 pizzas-deep-dish, Chicago-style, of course. That would cost a pretty penny. Suppose you had to feed 5000 ...read more

    Endurance... does it matter in the Christian life? In the Bible there are lots of figures of speech, metaphors, and similes to describe the Christian life. Yet, the metaphor of the "race" and the endurance of the race is central. How important is endurance?

    Several years ago, a very popular song that made the top ten list of favorites among many Americans was called, “Don’t worry…Be happy!”

    It was sung by Bobby McFerin and the words go like this: “Don't worry, be happy In every life we have some trouble But when you worry you make it double Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy now” “Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be ...read more

    Sometimes we take life much too seriously. Life is to be taken seriously, but some folks are so serious they can not enjoy life.

    If we are going to enjoy life, we have to have a sense of humor. God has a sense of humor. I know some folks have the idea that God sits up in heaven and never cracks a smile. But I do not believe that, I sincerely believe God looks down upon what He has created and has the same kind of joy ...read more

    Every good pastor is concerned about the PHYSICAL and the SPIRITUAL welfare of his people.

    Generally, one of the ways you can tell a LIBERAL CHURCH from a CONSERVATIVE CHURCH is THE APPROACH they take in caring for people. Liberal churches often are only concerned about the PHYSICAL needs of the people. For example: Illus: They will send missionaries abroad to: -Teach lost people ...read more

    The picture of a great church in Acts 4:32-37 shows us that the church was faithful in two key areas.

    Introduction When you think of a great church, what comes to mind? We live in a day in which there is a lot of confusion over this question. Many churches are a reflection of our society which has become satiated with entertainment. Neil Postman, in his profound book titled, Amusing Ourselves ...read more
