A short message about the blessing of a happy home being found in psalms 128. I used it for Christmas but can be altered to fit any message about the family.
A Happy Home Introduction: This is the Christmas season and I notice year after year how the devil tries to ruin our celebration.

When you experience conflict as a result of following Jesus, you are not headed in the wrong direction. Instead that’s a sign you are being faithful to the Gospel.
The Conflict Matthew 10:22-25 Last week we learned if we are going to commit to following Jesus then we need to make sure we know what we’re signing up for because following Jesus can lead to pretty hazardous work.

So now we talk about the return home. And we see two predictions made, by Jeremiah and Isaiah, old testament prophets being fulfilled here.

He worked through people like Daniel and Shadrach, Meshach and Abendigo. Daniel saw many dreams and visions, and even saw ...read more

Paul says this is what Christian leaders are to be. They are not to be people who get captured by the culture, or by circumstances. They are to be people who are stable and consistent in their commitments regardless of changes in life.
As I read Barbara Shields book Winners-Women And The Nobel Prize, I was so impressed by the life and leadership of Agnes Gunxha, better known as Mother Teresa. As I read of her life and ministry I kept seeing her fulfilling the requirements that Paul lays down for one to be an elder, or leader, in ...read more

Scripture: Psalm 122:1
Again we would like to turn our attention to those passages in the Bible that deal with our being stewards of the money God has blessed us with.
I would like to remind you that stewardship is taught in both the OLD and the NEW TESTAMENTS.

He noted that they were careful to tithe of every plant that produced ...read more
