Erasing Sin

Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 19, 2015

When you're writing or drawing and you make a mistake, what do you do then? That's right, you use the eraser on the other end of the pencil. God's forgiveness is a lot like this eraser.

Scripture: Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.* Matthew 18:21-22 (NIV). Numbers often take on new meaning in the Bible. Seven is a ...read more

Baptism

Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 19, 2015

In this message I brought all the children up close to the baptistery and allowed them to witness a baptism. Very effective.

This morning I want to invite all of the children 6th grade and younger to come and stand right up here. Because I want to talk to you today about baptism. Most of you have seen someone get baptized before but you probably haven’t seen it this close up. And I think the best way for me to ...read more

Living Water

Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 19, 2015

Jesus went to a well in the middle of the day and he went to Jacob’s well to get a drink because He was thirsty. So he sat down by the well to rest and drink his water. Suddenly a woman came up to get water and they started talking.

A pitcher of water and a glass. Good morning. How is everybody? This water is so good. Ahhh. Oh would you like some? (Pour water) Let me ask you guys something. Do you drink a lot of water? How much each day? Health specialists say we should drink 8 glasses a day. (8 oz.) Of course ...read more

"The Case For Christ" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 31, 2015

In the city of Jerusalem, psychiatrists state that it is a frequent occurrence; happening on a weekly basis that someone, usually a visitor to the area will come forward claiming to be the Messiah. This is nothing new.

“The Case for Christ” Mark 8:27-29 A man walked right into my office several years ago; I had never seen him before, he handed me a piece of paper with a message on it and then he told me he was the Messiah. He told me I should come to Gulf view mall that Saturday afternoon at 4 PM ...read more

"What If No One Told The Story?"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

So God entrusted the greatest message ever sent from heaven to a bunch of smelly, uncouth shepherds. It shouldn’t surprise us because from the beginning of time he has come to lift up those who have found themselves at the bottom of the ladder.

What if no one told the Story? Luke 2:8-20 Surveys are done on just about every subject now. One was taken with church members asking then which character in the Christmas story they most identified with. Mary? Joseph? The shepherds? The wise men? Most people who answered the question said ...read more

Finding God's Strength

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

Everyone seems to believe that wealth will make them happy. In this passage we read of a man who had it all yet he walked away from God because he had so much.

Finding God’s Strength Matthew 5:5 and 11:28-30 The setting for the message this morning is found in one of the highlights of the ministry of Jesus. His ministry had its share of highs and lows but this was definitely one of his finer moments. In the background, Jesus had just gone through ...read more

"Mary's Christmas"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

When we look back at the life of Mary I see 2 extreme points of view that have surfaced. 1. Many believers have chosen to worship Mary. 2. Others have chosen to completely ignore Mary. The scripture does not support either approach.

Mary’s Christmas Luke 1:26-38 Most of us recognize that Christmas can actually be one of the most stressful times of the year. For pastors and their families things do not usually slow down—instead things just get busier. For many in the church and community there are those feeling ...read more

"Keep The Change" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

The Bible is a book about change. It is a book that tells us how to change so that we can become mature; complete; holy servants of Jesus Christ. Until we are completely free of all; the hurts, habits and hang-ups of this life.

“Keep the Change” Matthew 5:9 and Romans 12:1-2 I think we call all agree today that the Bible is an amazing book. 66 books, not written by one man, but 39 written over a period of 1500 years. And there is a thread that runs through the scripture from Genesis to Revelation that ...read more

Uncomfortable Commitment

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

This is a message for Christmas Eve used to introduce the Lord's supper.

It is such a meaningful time when we celebrate the Lord’s Supper during the Christmas season. For many this season is often filled with gift buying and family time and usually eating more than we should. All of those things are good, maybe we could eat less but all in all we do these things ...read more

"What Do You Do When You Lose The Son Of God?"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

Our first question is this, what kind of parents are they—they are raising the Son of God and they left to make the journey home and he is nowhere to be found.

“What do you do when you lose the Son of God?” Luke 2:41-52 Mary and Joseph had a wonderful celebration of their first Christmas. The Bible says that when Mary received the news that she began to ponder the words that Gabriel had spoken to her. Now she has given birth and she and ...read more

"Decision Making Made Easy"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

What should we do when we have to make an important decision? The Bible says, "Seek and you will find, ask and it will be given to you, knock and the door will be opened to you."

Object: A coin and a fortune cookie. Scripture: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matthew 7: 7 People do different things when they have a difficult decision to make. • Urim and thummim. Like dice. • Draw ...read more

God Uses Small Things

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

Have you ever seen a mustard seed? Look. See how tiny these seeds are? These are from the area where Jesus lived. They are the smallest seeds I have ever seen. A mustard seed is so small that if you were holding one in your hand and dropped it on the ground, you might not be able to find it.

Parable of the Mustard Seed Mark 4:30-32 Living Bible (TLB) 30 Jesus asked, “How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story shall I use to illustrate it? 31-32. It is like a tiny mustard seed! Though this is one of the smallest of seeds, yet it grows to become one of the largest of ...read more

Fishers Of Men

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

Well Jesus knew that many of the people he would have as his early disciples would be fishermen because it is one of the main ways people made money in that part of the world. So he went out to get his disciples and this is what he said, “follow me and I will make you fishers of men.”

Good morning. I want to start by asking you something. How many of you have ever been fishing before? Well I have. I enjoy getting out in the sun on the lake. It’s nice. But you know what I really enjoy doing when I go fishing? Actually catching fish. Wednesday night we talked about ...read more
