     | 2,623 views

    The Bible, particularly Jesus, puts together two ideas which the world would always keep seperate: love and dogma. This sermon argues they must always go together.

    Psalm 33, Isaiah 45:11 – 19, 1 John 4:7-21, John 15:9-17 The Bible puts two things together that modern man would never in a million years put together. We see them both in the gospel and the epistle appointed for today. On one hand there is something in both the gospel and the epistle which ...read more

    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,611 views

    Rather than explaining the Trinity, a better approach is to turn the matter on its head, and to set forth the questions for which the Trinity is the answer.

    An exposition of Abraham’s (then Abram’s) travels into Egypt reveals the persistant faithfulness of God in spite of out faithlessness and forms the foundation to challenge us to believe the promises made to us in Jesus Christ.

    10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe. 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, "I know what a beautiful woman you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, `This is his wife.’ Then ...read more

    Being The Church! Acts 1:1-11 I loved Miss Patrick. She was from Somerset, Kentucky and she was my third grade teacher. She was awesome because she introduced us to some exciting literature.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,001 views

    Greed is every bit as much -- maybe more -- a poor man’s vice as it is a rich man’s folly.

    Message for the funeral of Carroll A. Reed, Major, U. S. Army, Ret.; combat veteran of WW II, Korea, and Vietnam; deacon

    This past summer I did a series of sermons based on Romans, chapter 12, and Paul’s admonition that we are to present our bodies as living sacrifices to God.

     | 2,687 views

    Focusing on the "blank years" of so many of the Bible’s saints, including most of the life-time of our Savior, this sermon exhorts to diligence in well-doing, until God brings us to that time for which all our lives are meant.

    Second Sunday in Christmas Luke 3:1-17 One of the most enduring stock-comic situations in modern fiction and cinema is the spectacle of a family traveling in a car.

    Joseph was a key figure in Egyptian history, but was he Imhotep?

    Joseph the Grand Vizier (Genesis 41) 1. The sermons and presentations in this series will be, by nature, uneven. Some weeks, more Bible less Egyptology. Other weeks vice-versa. I could solve this by speaking for two hours at a shot, thus giving us a balanced mixture. Some instinct in me tells ...read more
