     | 12,023 views

    Disciples of Jesus was given a new perspective on greatness. We learn to (1) find greatness in serving and (2) make Jesus the benchmark of true service.

    To be great is to serve. We don’t ASCEND to greatness, but descend into greatness.  To be great in this world is to put importance on oneself; to be great in God’s Kingdom is to serve the needs of man.  The world sees greatness in those who exercise power and authority but God sees ...read more

    The search for true, lasting happiness and fulfillment in life always ends with finding Christ as Savior. The happiness that the world offers is fleeting and false.

    The Search for True Happiness by Pastor Jim May In today’s church, more than ever before, it is so easy to go after things that we believe will bring true happiness. But what we often find after we have obtained what we sought after is most often far less than what we thought it would be and ...read more

     | 4,150 views

    We can do a lot of things for a lot of reasons...but if what we do is not "seasoned" with a measure of love, genuine love, it is for nothing.

    1 Cor. 13:1-3 ?If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. [2] And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am ...read more

    This is the sixth installment in a series I did on I Corinthians 13, and focuses on the fact that "love does not act unbecomingly."

    “Love’s Balance” I Corinthians 13:5 January 26, 2003 Love of Another Kind – I Corinthians 13 Given the frigid weather of this month, perhaps this poem is a fitting way to begin: Six humans trapped by happenstance in bleak and bitter cold, Each one possessed a stick of wood, or so the story ...read more

    Worthwhile Conversation

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,485 views

    The Christian’s speech should be a reflection of the Holy Spirit’s working, bringing value to those around us.

    WORTHWHILE CONVERSATION When I was in my twenties, I couldn’t hold on to money. If I had a dollar, I’d spend it. If I saw something I wanted, I bought it without much consideration as to whether it was a good deal or not. I’m not totally sure whether it was a function of getting older or marrying ...read more

    Rest For Today And Forever

    I preached this at my grandmother’s funeral. She was 88 and althogh her health had been declining, her death was very sudden. Her last request of me was to officiate at her funeral, which I did and was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my ministry.

    (Reading of the obituary) I think it’s pretty safe to say that this day came as a great shock to almost every one of us in this room here today. While we knew that Grandma wasn’t in the best of health, and had some past health issues a little over 4 years ago, none of us thought that we’d be ...read more
