    If you noticed the title of this week’s sermon, you may have realized you’ve heard that phrase before. Or what about this one, “Patience is a Virtue”? Well it turns out those phrases have some biblical significance. And it also turns out they are usually true. Let’s ...read more

    Perhaps the greatest lessons I learned about life came during Marine Corps bootcamp, Paris Island, the Summer of 1978. Christians need bootcamp too.

    (All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted.) SPIRITUAL BOOTCAMP When I was young I was a very active kid, I am sure many of you were as well. We may have to strain a little to remember those days, but most all of us could not ...read more

    1 of 3. James divulged the proper management of trials which were endemic/common to Christians. There are proper ways of managing the those difficulties. But how are Christians to manage their trials properly? Tackling trials properly involves managing

    Conquering Fear

    This sermon gives the recipe for conquering fear. It also has a radically new interpretation of the command, "Stand Still." I used it for Halloween but it is applicable any time.

    CONQUERING FEAR Exodus 13:13-14 Since today is HALLOWEEN, I decided to go with that theme. However, when I went on sermon sites... looking for ideas... all of the resources were ANTI-HALLOWEEN. They all talked about how it is a pagan holiday and is about worshiping evil spirits, or Satan. Well, I ...read more

    This message offers thought about what one needs to know and how one needs to respond..

    Facing Your Giants 1 Samuel 17 * One of the most familiar stories in all of God’s word is the story of David and Goliath.

    Go ahead, have a good cry if you need to. Then let your tears draw you close to others and to God.

    There is a new trend in China’s changing culture, which I find very interesting. The trend is a Cry Bar and it’s spreading to several major Chinese cities. The first Cry Bar opened eight or nine years ago (2003) in the city of Nanjing with only a sofa, a few tables, and tissues – a lot of ...read more

    This about about what trials do in your life.

    THE REALITY OF TRIBULATIONS I understand that God is on our side & God wants to bless his people!

    The Fire And The Calf

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 7, 2012

    God told Joshua the reason He would not answer their prayers or protect Israel was because "there is sin in the camp". I believe that is true for the church and Christians today. If you're afraid to preach sin... don't look at this one.

    Sin in the Camp Joshua 7 Today I want to talk to you about something very serious… sin in the camp. I believe this is one of the biggest problems in the world today... sin in the camp.... Sin in God’s people I think most Christians do not take this very seriously because they say to ...read more
