    God's Discipline

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Oct 20, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,105 views

    We have to discipline our children, and sometimes the things they do are so funny, we have to hold back our laughter in the midst of discipline. There’s nothing funny about the sin that God’s people commit against Him.

    People are funny, and the funniest people, in my judgement are children. As much as we love our children, we soon find out that they require discipline. When my oldest son was born, I took his picture with me to show people. I showed it to an elderly black lady, and I’ll never forget what she ...read more

    A sermon for Palm Sunday

    Mark 11:1-11 “Jesus Isn’t a Rock Star” What is going on here? It appears that a whole crowd of people have fallen head over heels in love with Jesus! The people are infatuated. It’s as if Jesus were a rock star or something! “Many people spread out their ...read more

    If we were to summarize the advice the advice Jesus that gives to us in these verses, then we would have to conclude that Jesus wants us to remember that prayer is a matter of the heart. This sermon is about the need to rend our hearts.

    AN ASH WEDNESDAY HEART Text: Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 Matthew 6:1-6, 16 - 21  "Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven.  (2)  "So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before ...read more

    God Answers Prayer, But Not Always Lends a whole new meaning to “I’m praying for you” doesn’t it? Prayer helps us feel closer to God, more connected to the church and extremely guilty if it is perceived that we don’t do it enough or correctly. And this is one of the ...read more

    We might not feel comfortable sharing our faith, but let's make sure that we don't sabotage those who do.

    If there is one word that strikes fear in the hearts of most church goers it is “evangelism”. Most of us understand the necessity of people meeting Jesus. All but the most callous are heartbroken at the thoughts of friends and loved ones spending an eternity far from God. And yet. . ...read more

    An Unfair God?

     | 8,062 views

    In dispensing eternal life, God is just as gracious to the death-bed convert as he is one born and reared in the faith. Jesus’ parable of the Vineyard Workers shows us why.

    An Unfair God? Matthew 20:1-16 Somewhere in the Charlie Brown cartoon canon, there is an episode where Lucy and Charlie are walking home from school. Lucy has a report card in her hand and she is clearly not pleased. She turns to Charlie, and, complains: "It isn’t fair Charlie Brown, it just ...read more
