    So, I want to look at Nehemiah and the wall rebuilding. I want to look at a different aspect. I wish to talk about the wall and how it still applies to us today. Let me first give you some context and background for those who do not know the story.

    Rebuild the wall – Men's Breakfast April 2024 Well, good morning, men. Some of you are wondering if this was the big announcement. No, it does not come at the end of this message. It is excellent for us at newlife to have over 100 men at our breakfasts. It has been good to see that we men, ...read more

    The Gift That Never Stops Giving

    One internet search engine listed over 200,000 items that included the phrase: “the gift that never stops giving”! No material or earthly gift that man can give will last forever.

    The Gift That Never Stops Giving “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17 (NKJV) During the Christmas season most of us give a great deal of thought to the gifts we will give ...read more

    Even before Internet pornography, rampant materialism, and on-line gambling, there was temptation. Even Jesus faced it, and in studying His example, we can learn a lot about being victors.

    THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS Scripture: Mark 1:12–13 Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him. Introduction: Even before Internet pornography, rampant ...read more

    This is #2 of 4 on the book of Jonah. Pain gets our attention. I orginially wrote this in 1999. I cannot remember where I got some of my material to give proper credit.

    INTRODUCTION  In the movie Pinocchio a kindly woodcutter named Geppetto is swallowed by a whale named Monstro. Inside the dark, damp belly of the whale, Geppetto sits for what seems like an eternity. Then one day the whale violently coughs, and the woodcutter is expelled from his watery ...read more

     | 7,531 views

    America is a land swept by the winds of change. Are they destructive? Yes, if we invest in religion without integrity and if we accept leaders committed to materialism. But refreshing winds are possible as we the church are in touch with the Spirit.

    In the hills of eastern Kentucky, not far from where we once lived, there is a hidden-away estate called Windswept. If you crawl up the winding grade of US 421 to the wide place in the road called Morrill, off to your left there is a driveway that leads to a lovely stone house. Windswept was ...read more

     | 4,142 views

    For Remembrance Sunday, commemorating members who have died the previous year. All want significance; some try to be remembered with material things, some with reputation. But the only lasting memory is to be hidden in Christ.

    My father-in-law had an irritating habit of trying to identify and pigeonhole people. If you mentioned to him the name of someone he didn’t know, he would invariably ask, "Who is he?" "Who is he?" The question, "Who is he?", I soon learned, really meant, "Where did he come from, who are his ...read more
