    Second in a series of messages about fear, dealing with fear of angels and demons, territorial spirits and warfare

    A. Fear of Angelic Hosts (v. 10-14) 1. As I mentioned, from these verses on, it is an angel speaks. And yet Daniel was still afraid.

    For Remembrance Sunday, celebrating the lives of those who had passed away during the previous year: We resist change because we fear failure and we fear temporariness. But faith launches us and God equips us to new things.

    Why do some of us embrace change and others of us resist change? Why do some people look for new things to do, search for new things to learn? But others of us resist until our dying breath doing anything but what we’ve always done? Why is that? Why do we approach to life so very differently? ...read more

    Only Jesus can take the bitter waters, the worst of life's circumstances that come to poison us and destroy us, and make us better.

    As a couple exchanges their vows,( those vows include these words) for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, for better for worse. It could also be said: for better or bitter. Or bitter or sweet. Life just has some bitterness built into it. Everyone comes to bitter waters at some point in ...read more

    Many people have the misconception that there are several ways to get to heaven but Jesus tells us there is only one.

    “Better To Be Sure Than Sorry” Who in this room wants to go to heaven? Heaven is our hope and our goal for the Christian life and obviously everyone wants to go to heaven and I realize with this message I am going to be preaching to the choir. But a ...read more

    A sermon for pastors and church leaders. It is a message on leadership illustrated from the interactions between Samuel and Saul.

    This message was preached for a funeral, but can be adopted for multiple uses.

    \\\I’D LIKE TO START OFF THIS SERVICE BY FIRST ACKNOWLEDGING THAT: A LOSS, IS THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SOMETHING CHERISHED! BEREAVEMENT, IS THE STATE OF BEING DEPRIVED OF SOMETHING! GRIEF, IS THE NORMAL RESPONSE TO A LOSS! AND THEN OF COURSE MOURNING – REFERS TO THE OUTWARD EXPRESSION OF GRIEF! NOW, ...read more

    If we trace God’s hand back to the book of Genesis and follow it through the OT we see God as the creator of two institutions. (1) The family and (2) the church. And we quickly realize that the two are very closely related.

    FAMILY MATTERS “God’s Family….Better Together” Acts 2:42-47 “I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God, I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by his blood, joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this side; I’m a part of the family, the family of God.” Have you heard that before? I certainly ...read more
