    Undealt with sin can destroy us, but God offers us a way out.

    It's A Bug's Life Text: Joel 1:1-20 Introduction 1. Illustration: When we were pastoring a church in Yellville, AR, there were some structural problems with the building that concerned me.

    Dining With Jesus Series

    The grave danger of familiar traditions is that they will become routine; and thus, the power of the symbol is diluted, if not destroyed. The Lord’s Supper is the continuing ordinance given to believers by our Saviour.

    MATTHEW 26:26-29 DINING WITH JESUS “Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, ‘Take, eat; this is my body.’ And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink of it, all of you, for this is My ...read more

    Jesus is the constant, consistent, completely sufficient source of our salvation.

    Three or four summers ago we did a family vacation trip that included a stop at Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. I suspect that many of you have been there and can picture this geyser that was named Old Faithful because like clockwork, every 67 minutes, there is a spectacular eruption ...read more

    Some of the decisions that we make in life are not that earth shattering, history will see little difference in the cereal you chose to eat for breakfast, but there are choices in life that important, even life altering. These are choice made by every hum

    Paul describes the effect of living under the rule of the Mosaic law.

    Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. But Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe (Galatians ...read more

    Jesus is Lord, not a legend, a liar or a lunatic.

    Since Christmas is in the air, we will resume our series on “Our Best Life Now” next year, which is just a month from now. Second, I will have a different preaching approach this morning. Instead of a verse-by-verse exposition of the Bible which I usually do, I would present a topical defense of ...read more

    Hatred is a dark, violent, selfish emotion that can destroy the human heart even the best of them. Hatred has a way of taking root within us like no other emotion can. It twists our thinking and speaking until all that spews out of us are dark sentences

    Through the prophet Jeremiah, God told the people to remember how they had been cared for and loved, and not to go after other gods who could not offer salvation.

    Don’t Forget Who You Are Jeremiah 2:4-13 September 2, 2007 I thought long and hard about admitting this to you today. But I remember the day well.

    When the people of the Bible gathered together, it was to BRING worship to God. Somehow, today, we seem to think we come to church on Sunday Morning to GET something from God. Shouldn’t we be GIVING thanks instead?

    Invocation: God, you who created the eye for seeing, the ear for hearing, and the mind for thinking, be here with us in our worship. Help us through your Spirit to hear your word and discover new and vibrant ways to live in your abundant mercies. Help us Lord to see Your presence at work all around ...read more

    An encouraging (but reforming) sermon for people who are ’gay’ but not happy.

    Today, I will be using the term ‘gay’ in both its original form and its contemporary form, so let me define it both ways for you this morning. Originally, GAY meant: to be characterized by colorful and lighthearted excitement: MERRY. As in, “Have a GAY day!” In the old days, wishing your neighbor ...read more

    I talk about what we need to know and understand when we lose someone we love.

    Intro: Sometimes we face great loses in our lives. Today I want to talk about losing someone we care about. Let’s face it—people die. They die unexpectantly, they die too young. They die needlessly, because of the acts of another. They die naturally. People we always thought would be around…then ...read more
