    I used this as an informal message on a Sunday evening; letting the congregation guess what the situation was as I gave out the 'hints' one by one.

    THREE SHORT PRAYERS: Some of the best prayers we pray are prayers that come from a desperate heart. • Jesus warned against praying just to be seen by other people: • Matthew 6:5, “When you pray you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues ...read more

     | 6,095 views

    When the heart goes out of our faith, then the life goes out of our church. A vital congregation has its source in God.

    Nobody wants to be a part of a dead church. Not even Jesus!

He says: “I know your works; you have a name [for] being alive, but [actually] you are ...read more

     | 2,851 views

    Today I want to preach another sermon that can be preached in any church in America, and it would apply to most of the people in any congregation.

    I hope that as I preach the Word it will fall on good soil today. Illus: I heard of a preacher who was preaching a three-point sermon on the Second Coming of Christ, and he would close each of the main points of the sermon by saying, “HE IS COMING, READY OR NOT!” When he got to the third point ...read more

    Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany (Year C) 1 Corinthians 13, is a popular passage to use for wedding sermons, because of course the topic is love. Brides and grooms have often chosen this lesson because of the beautiful, poetic prose it contains. But Paul did not write this to the Corinthians so ...read more

     | 8,506 views

    This is a preview sermon to help prepare the congregation for the upcoming sermon series on Isaiah. It contains some historical and socio-political information to put Isaiah into context.

    PREPARE TO MEET…ISAIAH If I say that “the Lord spoke to me” one might understand that I heard an audible voice.

     | 7,865 views

    Have you ever wondered why God is addressed as ’Father’ in the Bible? I have and I’ve been ’thinking aloud’ with our congregation...

    GOD THE FATHER Today we honour fathers. But I contend that I cannot be the father/grandfather my family needs me to be if I don’t let my Creator God be to me the Father He desires to be. Eph 3:7-21 I have become a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God’s grace that was given me by ...read more
