    Jesus begins his public ministry, and if you’ve ever wondered what he preached as he started, here it is: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

    INTRO: Heaven. The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor. –Oliver Wendell Holmes (Progress, ...read more

    God never works the same way twice. There is a lot of Scripture reading in this sermon. This was a sermon I preached as we were getting ready to move our building.

    There is a lot going on in our lives right now. I am sure that our dinner table is a lot like yours and the conversation’s have been a lot alike. What if we don’t find land? What if we build a building and we can’t pay for it? What if more people stop giving and we can’t afford to pay our ...read more

    I felt challenged to preach this because of the un-biblical approach to giving in my largest Church, & try to explain that our giving either honours or dishonours God.
