    Happy Are the Humble (Luke 1:39-56) 1. Sherlock Holmes is quoted as saying, "I am not among those who count humility among the virtues." 2. We tend to think of humility and not dwelling on oneself or comparing oneself to others. Wikipedia adds this insight: "Humility, or being humble, is the ...read more

    Every year just before Easter and Christmas the world sets out to attack Jesus. A recent example is a movie recently produced by an American entertainer named Bill Maher. He called the movie "Religulous" borrowing from the word incredulous.

    Is He In You? John 6:41-70 The sermon title today is a little like the slogan used by a popular sports beverage "Gatorade". That companys slogan is "Is it In You"? The suggestion is that if you don’t have Gatorade in you that you will not be able to perform to your best as an athlete. Iam ...read more

    How are we using what God has given us to build His kingdom. We are either life givers or grave diggers.

    Digging Your own Grave Matt 25:15-30 Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going into another country, who called together his servants and loaned them money to invest for him while he was gone.

It symbolized worldly secular power brutishly exercised over any perceived foreign evil that might threaten Rome. It was a place of ...read more
