    So what is the purpose of lighting the whole room? Is it to enable outsiders to see how clean we are, perhaps to see our new carpet, our qualifications up on the wall or perhaps how beautiful we may look?

    SERMON---LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE---Mt 5:14-15 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed; and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. If anyone has ears to ...read more

    This is the first in a 5-part series I did on witnesses to the life and ministry of Christ. Each message was prefaced with a dramatic monologue.

    MONOLOGUE (Holding dirty coat in hands; speaks as if to a person who has brought him the old coat) Man, where’d you find this thing? C’mon, where’d you get it? I never thought I’d see this old thing again! You think I’ve got a use for it now? Man, it’s old and ratty and dirty; I don’t know ...read more

    Christ left the synagogue to minister. It was while he was in the world He was able to connect with those who really needed Him.
