    The Big Idea: God wants us to be faithful him in our words and actions, even in difficult situations.

    The solution for America, our churches, and our lives is as close as the elephant in the room.

    If you were in a small room with an elephant, wouldn’t you know that the elephant was there? There is an elephant in the room. It is quite obvious but people turn their backs to it and act as if it is not there. What is the elephant? The elephant is the fact that God is God. ...read more

    He allowed the cancer to be a like a PNEUMATIC JACKHAMMER. Yes, it shook him up but it also broke up the hard places of his heart and enabled God to get through to him. Everyone of us has that choice.

    Jesus was born to bring us peace - that's what Isaiah declared and angels sang. But what does that mean? What kind of peace did Jesus come to give me, and how can I receive it?

    The past few weeks we’ve been looking at the gifts Jesus was born to give us. This week, we’re focusing on the gift of “peace” and (because today is Christmas) I wanted to start the sermon with a Christmas Carol that had peace as part of its message. But as I searched ...read more
