    The multitude, like many today had gotten their priorities confused. So much time is spent worrying about "things" that we lose sight of what truly matters and leads to happiness. We seek gold while dismissing God. We seek health while neglecting holiness.

    Sermon – The Road To Happiness Luke 6:20-26 “And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate ...read more

    I want to preach a sermon titled after a very popular song called, “Singing in the Rain.”

    The words of this song “Singing in The Rain…” come from a famous song sung by Donald O’ Conner. The idea of course is that we often plan things in life and then the rain comes along and spoils those plans. For example: • We are going to watch a parade, but the rain comes and spoils our ...read more

    Max Lucado once noted that sheep are dumb, defenseless and boring. Why would we want to be a sheep? The answer to that question says a lot about us and our relationship to God.

    OPEN: During Summer camp I remember hearing the following song: “I wanna be a sheep, baa baa I wanna be a sheep, baa baa I wanna be a sheep, baa baa I wanna be a sheep, baa baa” It went on to say “I don’t want to be a hypocrite… because they’re not hip with it” “I don’t want to be a Pharisee… ...read more
