    I see five team-building exercises that can benefit each of us today.

    A newspaper photographer wanted to get pictures of a fire so his newspaper agreed to charter a plane for him.

    The manager of a large office noticed a new employee and asked, “What’s your name?” The worker replied, “John.” The manager scowled and said, “Look, I don’t know where you worked before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name.

    Today we move to an unnamed mystery man. We established that the first verses in Matthew’s gospel are perhaps the most neglected in the New Testament; and this morning we’re going to look at one of the most widely known sections of Scripture.

    Three years ago I began a message with a Christmas Quiz. I recently came across some additional questions to test our knowledge of the Nativity. 1. Jesus was born in what town? a. Jerusalem b.

    The world seems to agree that lying is not a good thing, but the believer in Christ has different reasons for that.

    Lies, Lying and Liars TCF Sermon October 17, 2004 How many of you have ever received a gift you didn’t like? Maybe it was a really hideous tie. Maybe it was a fruitcake.

    Most of us are familiar with the Lord’s Prayer, and some of us have attended churches where it was recited every Sunday. I grew up saying this prayer so much that it just became rote for me and like Jeff in the drama I never thought God would really answer it. I was even instructed to repeat this ...read more

    based on 39 ratings
     | 12,854 views

    As we look at the first Beatitude this morning, I wonder if those listening to Jesus wished they had a dictionary with them because it must have seemed like He was speaking a different language.

    The Poverty of Self-Sufficiency I’ve received some wonderful green and gold gifts recently. This Packer headband keeps my ears warm, and this cap announces my allegiance for all to see. This Packer Christmas stocking came filled with Snicker bars; and I even received some “Lambeau loafers” as ...read more

     | 23,485 views

    In one of the most profound, and paradoxical texts in the Bible, Jesus declares in Matthew 5:4: “Blessed are those who mourn; for they will be comforted.”

    The Gladness of Sadness I like to begin my messages with something that makes us laugh when I can (though some of you probably wouldn’t necessarily call it humor).
