    I have often been asked by christians "why if the Bible doesn’t mention smoking, how can it be wrong" I believe this message answers those questions.

    What’s Wrong With A Christian Who Smokes? Text (1Cor. 3:16-17) (A) Would Jesus Smoke? Honestly can you imagine Jesus inhaling a cigarette? Can you picture the Lord blowing smoke in your face? NO! Jesus is our example of what a Christian should be. (ILL) My great-grandmother used to say, "If God ...read more

    God wants you to be clear and precise to him in your prayer chamber. You should be explicit and ask for definite needs. He knows your needs but wants you to pray.

    Herod was agitated by Messiah. Why did Jerusalem tremble also? Was not Messiah the answer to their problems? This message explores the inner fears that keep someone from receiving liberty in Jesus Christ.

    Knowing the church in Ephesus was surrounded by materialism, Paul sought to encourage them in the spiritual prosperity they had in Christ. What they received in Christ was far greater than anything the world offered.

    A Prayer for Prosperity Ephesians 1: 15-19 Our text today comes from the letter Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus. This letter is one of the “prison epistles,” written while Paul was imprisoned in Rome. The church at Ephesus was dear to the heart of Paul, having spent about three years there in ...read more

    The Many Gifts Of Christmas

    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,968 views

    A Sermon given on Christmas day, but can be adapted to a pre-Christmas message easily. This sermon refocuses the emphasis of gift giving on what we have received in Christ Jesus as a gift.

    THE MANY GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS There has been a lot of re-focus this year on Christmas, and its true meaning. I guess in one sense all of the attacks on Christmas by the Remove-God crowd has accomplished that one thing (even if unintentionally) – it has caused a lot of people to re-think and perhaps ...read more

    If God hated human sacrifice, why would He ask Abraham to offer his only son as a burnt offering to Him? And what can this story mean to us?

    CHILDREN'S STORY (I used a flannel graph display on the overhead) In the days of Abraham, one of the ways people showed their love for God by offering Him a sacrifice. A sacrifice is like a gift. It’s something you give to God to show Him you are willing to obey Him, even when it costs you ...read more
