    Looks at the various way God’s name can be misused.

    Very few things bug me as much as hearing the Lord’s name misused. When I was 15 I went to work on the tugboats out of Saint John New Brunswick and hanging around with sailors it didn’t take long before I had pretty much heard any words that I might have missed in high school. And so if you take ...read more

    Can you remember a time when you were so afraid you thought you weren’t going to make it? The most dangerous storm that night wasn’t the weather on that lake. It was the storm of fear raging in the minds of the disciples.

    INTRODUCTION One of my favorite stories is about the country preacher who used to visit a widow in his church named Mrs. Jones. He liked to visit her around lunchtime because she had a vegetable garden and she loved to cook fresh vegetables for her pastor. One day the preacher arrived at lunch, ...read more

    Nothing should stop us from worshipping God - not people, not our past, not anything. No matter what tries to hinder you, this message simply encourages you: Don’t Let It Stop You!

    The Lord is all-knowing, and all-seeing. There is nothing that escapes His knowing, or slips by His perception. You can’t think of anything outside of His knowledge. You can’t do anything that surpasses His ability to view. He sees what we’ve done, and what we’re doing. There is a repeated ...read more

    God encourages us that even if we fail, not to stop serving Him. When we sin, God doesn't automatically throw us out of covenant with Him. As a parent He disciplines us to help us become children of God.

    FAILED? DON’T GIVE UP! 1 Sam. 12:12-22 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Be Careful with Temptation 1.

    Too many Christians settle for being forgiven and fail to recognize that dead sinners do not disobey God. We can live in obedience because we are alive to God and dead to sin.

    My purpose is to be the Holy Spirit’s second witness calling God’s people in my care to surrender their lives to Jesus and to live in obedience to him. Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will surrender their lives to God in prayer – at the altar rail if they want to prayer ...read more
