    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,062 views

    We often pretend to be someone that we’re not, but probably someone we would really like to be.

    The Great Pretender Mt. 27:1-5 03/26/06 You are all familiar with the 1956 song by the Platters ‘The Great Pretender’ with the lyrics, “Oh yes, I’m the great pretender, pretending that I’m doing well; My need is such, I pretend too much; I’m lonely but no one can tell.” I’m sure that this song ...read more

    Knee Deep In Sheep

     | 3,830 views

    For Advent III, preached at First Baptist of Gaithersburg, MD. "We may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep, it is joy we reap". God in Christ transforms the ordinariness of everyday, humdrum life.

    We may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep – it is joy we shall reap. Did you get all that? Too many rhyming words? Ah, but every one of them is important. Listen again: we may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep – it is joy we shall reap. Now you ...read more

    How does busyness hurt our ability to witness for Jesus? How does ministry sometimes change our focus from loving the Messiah? Learn how to avoid the trap of busyness from Jesus’ critique of the Ephesian church.

By that I mean a critique group. A critique group reads what you’ve written - gives you some things they like ...read more

    Sometimes the message of the Gospel is as difficult for others to believe as a magical world beyond the wardrobe.

    In the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, the wardrobe represents the barrier to belief. Beyond the back of that cabinet lay a magical world in which humans could be heroes and the fantastic was true. Lucy goes into the wardrobe and finds the back of it a gateway to a wonderful place called Narnia. ...read more

    based on 114 ratings
     | 31,305 views

    For the psalmist, “praise the Lord” was definitely not a cliché but an ecstatic expression of unbridled joy! In six short verses, he uses the phrase 13 times in Psalm 150.

    The Instruments of Worship Our language is filled with clichés, isn’t it? Just listen to athletes who are interviewed after a game. The winners say things like this: We came to play We brought our A-game We played our hearts out Things sound a bit different in the losers’ locker room: We ...read more
