    A Mother’s Day Sermon on the realities of life.

    John 15:1-17 Today is Mother’s Day and some see this as just another way to market the US economy. Many children have bought cards and flowers to give to their mothers.

    Family Ties

    Contributed by Mike Molenaar on May 9, 2001

     | 5,266 views

    True family ties are experienced through our relationship with Jesus Christ. If there is a true tie with Jesus nothing, not even persecution, can break that bond.

    John 15:18-27 I’m sure this has been a busy day for many people. Mother’s Day is a time when people do get together with their families. The family unit is important. When you are part of a family, you wear that family name and all the good and bad things of the family come with the name. Legally ...read more

    If God loves us so much, why don’t we always live in that love?

    Introduction I’ve taken several long road trips in the last year. I’ve discovered that the best way for me to maintain my alertness and my sanity is to listen to audio books. I’ve become a fan of Tom Bodett, the guy who does the Motel 6 ads, whose most famous line was “We’ll leave the light on for ...read more

    based on 108 ratings
     | 8,865 views

    How the Biblical model of male headship should work, and what it is meant to show us about God.

    This morning, my choice of topics presents me with a difficult task. No one compels me; I willingly undertake it. But it is difficult. Because I know that what I have to say concerning leadership in the home – or rather, what the Scriptures have to say – will likely encounter some resistance. ...read more

    How valuable are children to you?

    Is Your Quiver Full? I must admit this is one of the hardest messages that I have ever brought because I have struggled with this over the years.

And for the benefit of those who haven’t been keeping careful track, this is also the 100th sermon I’ve preached from this pulpit (or music stand, or whatever it is). So in ...read more

    Is our inheritance in this life, the life to come, or both?

    The Harvest What a privilege and honor to be called and used by God to do His will. Our calling is not to put our focus on this earth, nor is it to make the world a better place. Our calling is to follow Jesus Christ on a pilgrimage to heaven. In doing so, we will also fulfill God’s purpose for ...read more

    On a level other than the one we can see, at a supernatural level, in the realm where good and evil do battle and evil always loses, God has blessed us. He wants us to live according to that blessing.
