    This sermon was preached as my first sermon in the pulpit of my most recent appointment. It deals with transition and the need to move forward into the future while treasuring the past.

    “It’s Time to Cross the Jordan!” Deuteronomy 34:1-12; Joshua 1:1-11 Sunday, July 7th, 2002 Life is full of unexpected twists, of unforeseen bends in the road and of unwanted detours.

    based on 129 ratings
     | 17,548 views

    Paul teaches us how to be strong in Lord in this lesson on taking up the full armor of God. Too many Christians are defensive minded when Paul lists armor that is completely used for soldiers who are in forward motion in the good fight of faith. There is

    The Armor of God, My Protection from Satan and His Demons – Eph. 6:10-18 Illustration: Today I learned that my Mother has a deadly form of c-121 ovarian cancer.

    Just as Paul experienced in Acts, we can have success in God no matter where life takes us.

    Life is a journey and we, like Joseph, have a lot of choices to make as we travel.

    I’ve been across the U.S. by auto two times. In 1965 I was the moody 12 year old traveling with parents in the cab of a non-air-conditioned F-250 pickup with a camper on it. The second time was the driver of an Areostar with six people and a heavy 19’ trailer. Both times were adventures. Both times ...read more

    Like paratroopers who have been dropped behind enemy lines, Christians have a job to do in sometimes-unfriendly territory.

    The End is Near (I Peter 4:7-11) 1. AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it’s not Walter who’s lacking intelligence. Police in Oakland, California spent two hours attempting to subdue a ...read more

    We are instructed to be aware of how our enemy works against us. However, it is also essential to know how God works. We need to learn His tactics so that we won't miss His hand moving in our life.

    Tactics Pt. 1 - Before I. Introduction In the New Testament, Paul instructs us to be aware of how our enemy works. In 2 Corinthians 2:11, he says “After all, we don’t want to unwittingly give Satan an opening for yet more mischief—we’re not oblivious to his sly ways!” ...read more
