    Being good is a work of God, therefore focus on Christ. Being good is more than doing good, watch your motives. Being good is not being nice, speak the truth in love.

    Luke 6:43-45 43 "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil ...read more

    Dealing with a number of issues at EBC led me to a series by Pastor Jerry Shirley which God has graciously allowed me to revise and use to speak to our congregation.

    The Day Revival Came: Acts 2:1-41 I have said a number of times, during this series, that I would love to see Acts 2 happen in the church today. When I say that, I don’t mean the actual events because the actual events of Pentecost will never be repeated. The Holy Spirit has already come, ...read more

    When we think of Job, we think of TRIALS. But there is another lesson that we learn from JOB. Job is an example of a godly father that courageously led his family.

    Today for Father’s Day I would like to take a look at a Bible Character that we don’t usually associate with fatherhood. We will take a look this morning at JOB. When we think of Job, we think of TRIALS. We study JOB to learn how to overcome our trials. But there is another lesson ...read more

    Ayn Rand's philosophy would have led her, I think, if put in the position of Paul and Barnabas, to say, “bring on the sacrifice. I am a god!”

    When I was teaching, my religion class would always study the philosophy of Ayn Rand, a deracinated Jew whose ideal of rugged individualism influenced people like Alan Greenspan and Rush Limbaugh. Her notions would have led her, I think, if put in the position of Paul and Barnabas, to say, “bring ...read more

    This sermon explores the concept of taking the first step of faith, using the story of Nahshon from the Exodus, who courageously led the Israelites forward even when there seemed to be no way.

    There is a legend in Judaism about a man named Nahshon. He only gets one begat in the Bible. Of course, that’s one more than you and me! He is the great-great-great-grandfather of King David. He disappears almost as soon as he makes his debut, but Nahshon is credited with saving the nation of ...read more
