    Many Christians are half-hearted because they don’t know the True God. We’re going to see that the True God will incite our wonder, He’ll be a God we feel honored to serve, and that He’s big enough to meet any need we have.

    YOUR GOD IS TOO SMALL! Acts 17:24-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. Two ropes walk into a restaurant to get something to eat . The waiter leans over to address the first rope and asks, "Are you one of them ropes?" 2. "Why yes," quavers the rope. "We don’t serve ropes here," growls the waiter, ...read more

    Farewell Address at dinner by the Parish for my wife Lee and I. It has some humor yet I believe it touches the heart of who we are called to be in Christ. At the end I passed out 125 Red Wax Lips and and 125 signs that state "I Kiss Frogs" with a picture of a frog with big red lips.

    It just wouldn't feel right ... if I didn't begin with ... a story. And at the end of the story ... there is a little surprise ... that just might require a group picture. Well ...

    When you lose your Queen piece in chess, you are likely going to lose the game as well unless you are strategically prepared. The church has relied for centuries on its queen, the Sunday/Sabbath day Big Event. But what if pandemic or persecution takes away your queen? How will you then do church?

    THE LOST QUEEN “A lost queen can cost you the game” Hebrews 12:26-28 “At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.” I’m not Jerry Lee Lewis and it is not 1999, but I can tell you that a whole lot of shaking is ...read more
