    Contrasting Koheleth and Paul in the later season of their lives: one blames the young, the other gathers them; one mourns broken things, the other invests in ideas; one is anxious, the other trusts God for every need.

    This past weekend, as a part of our brief getaway, my wife and I spent two nights in an old farmhouse. The farmhouse dated from 1704 and was partly furnished with antiques. Now my wife loves antiques; I guess that’s why she puts up with me. So we took the tour of the house, especially the parlor ...read more

    Toys Or Joys?

    Contributed by Joseph Stapleton on Jul 14, 2011

    A man is not the sum of what he gathers, it is not abou what you have but who you know. Do you know the one that provides ALL things?

    TOYS OR JOYS? (All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted.) So many times I have heard people say “the one that dies with the most toys wins” as if gathering material possessions here on earth is what life is all ...read more

    Just Want To Bless Somebody

    I think we often struggle today with service because we think it has to be some great act. If it’s not some great, newsworthy deed, we don’t think it is worth the effort.

    TITLE: JUST WANT TO BLESS SOMEBODY SCRIPTURE: II KINGS 4:8-17 I guess I have entered the stage in my life where I am beginning to focus more upon the mark I will leave on this world. I am beginning to focus upon “WILL ANYONE CARE OR REMEMBER” when it’s my time to leave this ...read more

    Follow Me 2 Of 2

    In a previous sermon I preached on the importance of following the right people.

    When Jesus was here on earth He stated on one occasion, "...FOLLOW ME, and I will make you fishers of men." It is interesting that the Bible not only records that He told these men to follow Him, but also it records that they were smart enough to obey. Look at Matt. 4:20, it states, ...read more

    This sermon is the first in a series of five on The Church Health Review which attempts to make members aware that there is a health cycle of the congregation of God’s people.

    Robert Dale in his book “To Dream Again: How To Help Your Church Come Alive,” says that there are four ways to revitalize a church. The strategies would be: change policies, change personnel, change programs or clarify purpose. The fourth way to revitalize a church is to define and act on its ...read more

    Learning from Mary and Martha’s responses, we can see why it is important to maintain a proper balance between discipleship and spiritual work.

    OUR SPIRITUAL LIVES CAN SOMETIMES BE LIKENED TO A PENDULUM OF A CLOCK. ONE DAY OUR FAITH SWINGS FORWARD IN ZEAL AND DESIRE AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT OUR FAITH SWINGS BACKWARD BY THE FORCES OF BUSYNESS AND DISTRACTIONS. IT IS TRULY A FINE BALANCE BETWEEN DOING TOO MUCH FOR GOD AND STEPPING BACK AND ...read more

    What are the biblical requirements for the office of deacon. In 1 Tim. 3:1-7 the requirements for pastor are given, and so we have a pulpit committee and perhaps even a background check. But 1 Tim. 3:8-13 makes it clear that we need to be careful in choos

    REQUIREMENTS FOR DEACONS 1 Timothy 3:8-13 THERE ARE AS MANY VERSES LISTING THE REQUIREMENTS OF DEACONS AS THERE ARE FOR PASTOR.
