    Here is a highly controversial passage, yet for the bible-believer, it is really quite clear. There will be a kingdom and a fierce and powerful king, but he will choose the wrong opponent and be destroyed.

    Passage: Daniel 8:1-27 Intro: When we run across a highly technical and controversial passage like this… 1. we can’t figure out the “so what?” 2. that quickly goes to “who cares” 3. God has a purpose, so don’t miss it while we dive into this ...read more

    December 1989: We choose not to participate in mission and ministry because we do not want to look foolish. Jesus transforms looking foolish into a redemptive model.

    Most of us, especially in our younger years, spend an awful lot of effort in trying not to look foolish. Most of us, particularly when we are young and growing and think our bodies are all out of proportion anyway, will go to great lengths to hide our deficiencies and keep from looking foolish. ...read more

    7th in a series from Ecclesiastes. We can’t change the seasons of life - we can only choose how we respond to them.

    It has been said that there are four seasons to a man’s life: • There is the time when he believes in Santa Claus. • There is the time when he no longer believes in Santa Claus. • There is the time when he is Santa Claus. • There is the time when he looks like Santa Claus. I also found a couple of ...read more

    This sermon will focus on the difficulty of saying no to the flesh. Even though we have rules and law, they are no match to stop us from choosing our fleshly desires.

    Background • Review Genesis 25; twins yet born completely opposite (lost/saved) • Parents show favoritism, and this will lead to a divided family. When we come to chapter 27, Isaac is around 137 and both boys are in their middle 70’s. • This sermon will focus ...read more

    Present generations can choose to follow the Lord despite the ridiculous or ungodly example of their forefathers. The Psalmist gives us advice to help us do so.

    Breaking the Cycle (Psalm 78) 1. A couple decided to go to Cyprus for the weekend, but because they both worked it was hard to coordinate their diaries.

    Racy Words

     | 3,090 views

    The Christian journey can be described as a "race." We choose the kind of race we run -- fun and games; obligatory; or the long-term run.

    1. Last week we “passed the baton” in regard to teaching people the word of God from generation to generation and person to person. 2. It made me think of the ancient Roman Games and how they were used as illustrations for the Christian life. 3. The Games in Rome were a big deal. Although much of ...read more

    The Kindom is the first thing Jesus chooses to preach. He taught it consistently for three years and it was the final thing he told his disciples. It must be important.

    Does Jesus have a slogan? Everyone else does. Even if you don’t wear Nike shoes most of us know Nike wants us to Just Do It. Of course, Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. And Jesus wants to be sure we know, …? What? To be fair, his slogan hasn’t been on TV and billboards constantly. On the ...read more
