    A voice was needed, and voice was heard. It was that of John the Baptist. Jesus is the promised deliverer and John is the promised forerunner.

    Have you ever had that terrible sinking feeling of being unprepared? As a student maybe there was a test you did not study for. As an adult maybe the tax deadline came, and you were not ready.

    The Falseness of Forsakenness Have you ever been so low you thought all there was left for you in this world is death?

    A message showing that we have the same attitudes that the Israelites had while traveling in the desert with Moses.

    How many times have we gone to God and asked Him for things we wanted or needed? The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt for 400 years and were brutalized, beaten, and killed. Many of them had asked God to help them get out of that mess, but it was not until the entire nation of Israelites ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 3,432 views

    Having grown up in hte desert, I know how harsh the place is and how tempting the options presented by hte devil really are. On the surface the temptations seem harmless and perhaps even good in the right hands but they all take our attention off God.

    I grew up going to the desert, and thought that I knew what the desert lands are all about. I’ve been camping many times in the Anza Berrego wilderness and understand that the desert is a harsh and foreboding place. I know to stay on the trails, look for snakes and take lots of extra water. I ...read more

    It’s Christmas Eve, and we are grateful you are with us tonight to celebrate. I am grateful for our string quartet leading us tonight. Where would we be without the music of Christmas?

    John the Baptist received the word of God in the desert, and prepared the people for the coming of Christ by calling them to repentance.

    We are in the season of Advent. We prepare now for the coming of Christ at Christmas, and we recall that He will come again with power and great glory on the last day.

    Looking behind the temptations of Jesus in the desert and how the Devil uses the same design of temptations on us today.

    March 4, 2001 Luke 4:1-13 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, 2 where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son ...read more

    Presenting Eyes And Ears: Vantage Point From The Hiding Place Series

    based on 44 ratings
     | 7,486 views

    When we are overwhelmed, in our panic we do not see what is before us, nor can we hear any word of counsel; someone -- innocent, devoted to us -- needs to create a stable point, a hiding place for us. Ultimately that is what Jesus Christ in His cross does.

    We have abilities that we barely even use. Our senses are capable of doing much more than we allow them to do. I want to try a short experiment with you. I want to test your eyes and your ears. First, I am going to give you thirty seconds to look around this room and take it all in. Many of ...read more

    Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has courage to lose sight of the shore. The lessons we can learn from God’s specific instructions concerning the Tabernacle are an adventure in itself. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction The first time we are introduced to the subject of a Tabernacle is when the children of Israel had left Egypt and in Exodus 26:1 we read "Thou shall make the Tabernacle..." For the most part, the Tabernacle was to be used in some cases as a mobile worship center. What’s most ...read more

    Building dedication sermon.

    Psalm 84: “HOW LOVELY IS YOUR DWELLING PLACE!” The last time I was here in LaPorte, this place where I am standing right now was just a muddy spot on the ground.
