    God hates idolatry. It competes for His attention and He is a jealous God. We belong to Him. Are we living like it?

    Exodus 20:4-6 American Idols As I prepared this series, I realized how little we actually preach or teach on the Ten Commandments as if they are neither important nor relevant. They are both. It was very enlightening to me to preach through them. I learned a lot! I trust this series will ...read more

    Jesus was a man. He was not the Son of God as Christians claim, but was elevated to that status by Constantine. That is the claim of The DaVinci Code. This sermon seeks to evaluate that claim and see if it matches up with an historical picture of Christ.

    Introduction: It was June 18, 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo. The French under the command of Napoleon were fighting the Allies (British, Dutch, and Germans) under the command of the Duke of Wellington. The people of England depended on a system of semaphore signals (lights strategically positioned ...read more

    We need to understand the drumbeats that compete with Christ’s drumbeat in our lives, so we really hear Him.

    The Drumbeat Montreal/Cornwall October 23, 2004 I love a marching band. To be part of a crowd that is gathered along a street to watch a parade, and to hear, in the distance, the coming band, before I can see it, has always been a peak event in my life.

    In a moment, Paul was transformed, where the confronter became the confronted. The hunter became the hunted. The accuser was now the accused. And while he thought he had the authority, in that moment he found himself powerless when he heard the true voice of authority.
