    Randall Cunningham is a pretty good football quarterback, but he doesn’t seem to be as good as when he played for the Minnesota Vikings. Randall is an excellent athlete, but during his years in Philadelphia, he never began to accomplish what he did with the Vikings during the 1998 season. He is now ...read more

    One of the things in Christian circles that tends to be done in a careless manner is the handling of money. The apostle Paul in this passage organizes the collection of funds for the saints in Jerusalem so that it will be managed honestly and faithfully.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: A man had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. He could receive little company and was to avoid excitement. While in the hospital a rich uncle died and left him a million dollars. His family wondered how to break the news to him with the least amount of ...read more

    The Apostle Paul and John Mark has a major disagreement which resulted in estrangement. But later, Paul showed mercy on Mark and restored the rela1tionship, as he imitated Christ.

    My Name is Mark Acts 15:36-41 Matthew 5:7 June 12, 2005 It was during the latter part of the summer of 1978. I was working as the Youth Director at North Presbyterian Church in Denver, Colorado.

    Is it winter in your life? Do you feel abandoned and without hope? Let the last words of the Apostle Paul encourage you as he prepared to cast off for the next shore.

    Quite a number of years ago now I saw what was one of the most impacting presentations of my entire life. An actor – Phil Nash – performed a dramatic reading of 2nd Timothy called “Come Before Winter.” It was just him – in costume, alone on the stage with a few props, reciting the book as Paul the ...read more

    Lead Others To Know God

    based on 19 ratings
     | 7,711 views

    The Apostle Paul’s message to the men of Athens at the Areopagus gives us a model for sharing Christ with others. We start with their natural knowledge of God and transition to the revealed knowledge of God.

    What is the “natural knowledge” of God? Since our “examination / confirmation Sunday” is just over a month away I hope that one of our confirmands can answer that question. What is the “natural knowledge” of God? The “natural knowledge” of God is what all people know about God from nature and ...read more

     | 10,419 views

    Without controversy, anyone, will agree that the Apostle Paul was the one New Testament figure that stood out above all others. His life teaches us a wonderful pattern to follow.

    "THE MAN WHO TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN" Acts 17:1-6 This is Memorial Day Act 17:1-6 NOW AFTER [Paul and Silas] had passed through Am-phi-polis and A-pol-lo-ni-a, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

    The Apostle John in the fourth Gospel has a lot to say about Jesus being both “Life” and “Light.” John 1:4 “In him was life, and that life was the light of men.”

    Jesus is Life & Light John 1:1-5 Carollyn and I spent Thanksgiving this year with our son Tim and his family in Garden Grove, CA.

    based on 16 ratings
     | 15,224 views

    The Apostle Peter in this passage is reminding those believers to whom he is writing to be sure live there lives in fear and reverence of God; likewise we will also today learn that same lesson.

    Why Should I live My life in Fear and Reverence of God? 1 Peter 1:17-21 Introduction Too many Christians of our day seem to be totally unconcerned with the need to be “conformed to the image of Christ” as Romans 8: 29 speaks of. Rather, they seem to think that they can live pretty much as they ...read more

     | 2,808 views

    The life of a Christian is often hot to handle that we may be tempted to even pack it in. But the Apostle Paul urges us not to do so for our groaning will give way to glory.

    I have a loonie here that I want to give away. Who wants it? Before I give it to you I want to burn off some of the germs that are on this coin. (Hold coin in candle flame with a pair of pliers for a couple of seconds.) Done. Go ahead. Take the coin. Did your fingers get burned? No? That’s good. I ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 14,515 views

    In 2 John, the Apostle John addresses a very important question: What should I do about false teaching? To answer that question John deals with two major subjects.

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,179 views

    The Apostle Peter shows us that when we work through suffering in a godly way, those habits and sins we cannot rid ourselves of, start to fade away.

    What is the thing that Americans fear the most? It is not taxes, or speaking in public, or even death…no. What Americans fear the most is – suffering. It can all be summed up when a loved one dies and death comes quickly to them. What do we say? At least they didn’t suffer….. Americans fear ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,856 views

    The Apostle Peter reassures us: There will be a final judgment. Also we look at the reality of hell, and why people refuse to believe in it - SIN, they want to justify their sin. See sermon for details......

    A little note about the sermon title: I had a little boy say outloud "Hell In A Handbasket". His mom said sternly: "Where did you hear such a thing?" "I was just reading the sermon title mommy". Maybe I should have gone with my alternate title: H. E. double toothpicks. An old sourdough [that’s ...read more
