    A 4-point sermon detailing how God loves us by doing everything from blessing us to rescuing us.

    When I was a kid, I enjoyed watching westerns on TV. It seemed that no matter how much trouble the hero got into, he would always be saved by the Cavalry.

    Have you ever noticed that people need to be around other people? Yet, all too often, what do we do? We tend to build walls around ourselves and keep other people out.

    NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Many ministers prefer to take the opportunity of performing a wedding, and give a full blown sermon. I personally feel that is uncalled for in this situation. I believe that this is the bride and groom’s day, not the preacher’s - so with that in mind, I keep it simple and ...read more
