     | 19,766 views

    This sermon relates the grief of David over the death of Absalom to God’s grief over our sin.

    Turn with me to 2 Samuel 18. Read 2 Samuel 18:24-33. Here we see a sad picture. King David is well advanced in years. He is no longer the young vibrant man that he once was. He is a broken man. The years had taken their toll on this once strong warrior. He had seen his family fall apart ...read more

    This is about allowing the Lord to have his way with you.

    “May I help you?” That is a familiar greeting when we walk into a store. Anyone who has ever worked in a retail environment knows that question well.

    based on 91 ratings
     | 13,227 views

    This sermon started when I was in Preaching Class, and it evolved into this. I preached this sermon my first Sunday at my church.

    I’m a “dunker.” Not with a basketball, as I am only 5’9”, but rather with chocolate chip cookies. There is nothing quite like the chocolate chip cookie. They come in all shapes and sizes, but they are very similar in how they are made. There is the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and, of ...read more
