    There’s a right way and a wrong way to "do" church. The right way is the one that takes the most work.

    A woman once told about her good friend and fellow parishioner who had just bought a house that was between the preacher’s house and that owned by the chairman of the deacons. I teased her a bit. "Now you must really walk the straight and narrow," I said. "On the contrary," she replied. "I ...read more

     | 6,577 views

    Easter 6: We are so good at picking sides - at finding reasons to finding reasons to choose reasons for thinking that we are better than others. The lessons of the early church drive us to question this and to ask: For whom is Easter?

    A few years ago some friends from this part of the state visited us when we lived in San Antonio. We took them to lunch at a popular restaurant in San Antonio and there saw a bunch of people wearing “Go, Spurs, Go” t-shirts. Being from the Dallas area – my friend was, of course, rooting for the ...read more

    The Power Of And The Opposition To The Gospel Acts 19:21-41 Our text records the story of a riot in Ephesus instigated against Paul and the new church there.

    When we’ve been with Jesus everything about us changes & people will notice the change. You’re Empowered, Educated & Encouraged

    This was sparked from another sermon I read. Same title but not the same sermon. “THEY HAD BEEN WITH JESUS!” LWC, May 17, 2009 AM INTRODUCTION: I’ve heard it said that “BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER!” It’s true.

     | 8,172 views

    This message looks into exactly how the Bible describes an elder.

    God is concerned about leadership. Consider some of the great leaders from the Old Testament. One of the first names that come to mind is Moses. God’s hand was on him from the time of his birth. God put Moses through a rigorous eighty year training course before calling him to lead His people. ...read more

    The Lord has given us the authority to do His work through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are God’s vessels of hope for a hurting world.

    This was the first miracle of healing in the Book of Acts, and a first for the newborn church. This was very unlike the Peter and John we know from the Gospels. • Here they were very confident and they spoke with authority. • We saw a paradigm shift in their understanding and belief.

    God over-turned and overcame the opposition of the Jews and the Romans allowing Paul’s worst time to become His best enduring legacy. Challenge - Can we, like Paul trust and obey God even when our best efforts for Him seem to initially fail?

    Turning Your Worst Times to Your Best Legacy (Acts 22) We see a lot of reality shows on TV today but perhaps my favorite is Bridezilla. It amazes me how what should be the best time of a young woman’s life turns out to be her worst legacy. The show chronicles the life and experiences of young ...read more
