This is a talk I gave our kids about appearances. How good things can actually be bad and how we need to get over stereo typing.

Mike wanted a talk on appearance. So he asked around to see who the best looking leader was.

No sensible person enjoys being poor. None of us would strive for actual “poverty status” in life. Jesus is referring to another kind of "poverty", one that enriches.

THE POVERTY THAT ENRICHES “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3. No sensible person enjoys being poor. None of us would strive for actual “poverty status” in life. In our text, our Lord is not extolling the benefits of being economically poor. He ...read more

PASSION involves each of us giving to God. Jesus told us that is more blessed to give than to receive. Actually, all of ourselves. All of our love.

PASSION of ELIJAH Text: Ephesians 5:16 thru 18 We serve a great and mighty God. He has given us so much. And yet, we seem to have so little to give Him in return. I have been impressed over the years that He wants us to give Him more of ourselves while (at the same time) learn to give to one ...read more

Money may actually distract us from Kingdom priorities. Some things money cannot buy are compassion for the needy, passion for the lost, and love for one another.

I actually forgot my notes for this message (audio) and God literally taught me a ton about dependence - fitting it was on the very night I was speaking on dependence.

DEPENDENCE ON GOD “Until you have given up your self to Him you will not have a real self.” - C.S. Lewis Dependence starts with surrender.

Many people have a hard time understanding or accepting the idea of God as a judge. We learn about judgment and the nature of God in this section. The news actually is good!
