    In our busy, noisy culture, it is important that we learn how to quiet down our hearts and get alone with God, so we can hear His "still small voice."

    On Being Hospitable Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,281 views

    Part II of the Four-Part Vision: God instructs his people to practice hospitality. What does this mean as we receive guests in our congregations? Are we ill-prepared to welcome our guests? Or do we receive them as the blessing and gift that God intended?

    Congregations are families. The longer that they are together, usually the harder it is to let other people become part of the inner circle of the church. And yet, we know that – just as we are to be hospitable as families – we are also called to be hospitable as groups of believers. The writer ...read more

    based on 27 ratings
     | 4,049 views

    In Eph. 5:33 there is one command for men - love, but twelve directives for women to respect their husbands. Even if this is an unpopular passage it must be preached.

    The Politically Incorrect Message for Wives (Eph. 5:33) One old church member said, "There are two sides to every question in our household: My wife’s side and the wrong side." Or as one man said, "The average man lays down the law and then accepts his wife’s ammendments." Yet, let us take ...read more

    A fresh look at the facts of Palm Sunday. The response of the crowds, and our present day response to the Lord’s kingship.

    BEHOLD YOUR KING Matthew 21:1-17 Here we have a remarkable scene; the Lord Jesus is on His way to die on Calvary, just as He has recently made known to His disciples, (although it appears that they either did not understand what He said, or they did not want to believe it).
