    Taking a look at spiritual gifts

    Church conflicts happen for pretty unusual reasons. In the 1890s there was a small Baptist church in Mayfield County, Kentucky. The church had just two deacons, and those two men seemed to be constantly arguing and bickering with each other. On a particular Sunday, one deacon put up a small wooden ...read more

    Narrative sermon depicting the life of Onesimus

    “Profitable Slave” It was a spontaneous act. The temptation was more than I could bear. If you were in my place, I’m sure you would have done the same.

    War Of The Words Series

    They have been here and many people who lived before us didn’t know. They are here now attacking us and many of us don’t recognize it. We are in a war. But we are often unaware. We could call it, not the War of the Worlds, but the War of the Words.

    I remember a time when I was hit hard with criticism. Three times in a row. A letter. A phone call. A conversation. Three punches to the gut. I heard things like: “You’re not honoring God. You’re just trying to entertain people. You’re too tolerant. You don’t give seasoned Christians ...read more

    A sermon about the feeding of the 5,000, using two small fish and five small loaves. How this was a lesson that was followed up by a test on the lake that evening. And how we can use that to develop our own faith.

    One day in the middle of the woods, a hawk, a lion, and a skunk were arguing about which one was the most powerful. The hawk said it was because he could fly down and catch his dinner so quickly they could not get away. The lion said he could run the fastest and had the bigger teeth to eat ...read more

    This morning we come to a passage that has – in my opinion – been one of the most misused passages in the entire Bible.
