    The Eword scares so many Christians. I tmakes them give excuses and avoid doing what we are suposed to do.

    The “E” word I am not sure that any of you have noticed something about me. I don’t necessarily think it is weird but you might. I spend a little time each week thinking about stuff that seem like it should not matter to anyone. My thought this week; I wonder, as you are heading to church ...read more

    We try to avoid the very things God wants to use to mould us into the glorious creatures He intends us to be.

    This sermon is meant to help us evaluate how we worship and to warn us to avoid Satan’s influence even at church.

    Every time Jesus met someone demon-possessed He kicked the demons out! This case is unusual because of where it took place - in the very house of God! Why in the world would a man possessed by demons even be interested in going to the house of God? Why would the devil want to go to church? 1. ...read more

    God charges the church with the responsibility to avoid those who cause division and create obstacles. It is the responsibility of the entire assembly, and not that of the elders alone.

    “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve.” ...read more

    The scripture says Do not worry... but that sounds easier said than done. The scripture also tells us how to avoid worry.

    The Answer to Worry Philippians 4:4-7 As we approach Christmas, it occurs to me that a message on worry, stress and anxiety might be in order. People are more susceptible to stress during this season than any other. Primarily, this is because we become so much busier this time of year. We have ...read more

    Our relationship with God can require a strained relationship with others when we take sin seriously and need to avoid it.

    I was watching an old movie on television and I heard a line that I’d missed before. The villain of this comedy was talking on the phone and said something like: “Sure, I know what kind of low-down person would sue his own mother, but we’re not talking about me!” It caught me off-guard and I had ...read more

Our relationship to the Father as His children is a most remarkable and incredible relationship. “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave ...read more
