    Saying no to God was the start of a donward descent by the Prophet Jonah. God had called him for one specific place-but he said no and ran from God. He is typical of many who do likewise and as Jonah, all rebelious people pay a heavy price for their stubb

    Friends has God been dealing with you in a gentle way trying to lovingly get you to return to His light yet you resist? Have you heard message after message from preachers trying to convince you to step out of the darkness yet you continue to stay put.

    A Great Light As we near the Christmas season I want to continue with the theme of light. A few weeks ago I talked about the star that shone over Bethlehem and the wise men that followed the sign in the heavens. We talked about the signs that exist today in the night sky and about Jesus ...read more

    Why would God tell Israel that their sins had denied them the blessings He wanted to give?

    (Children’s song, tho’ it can be read to a good effect as well as sung if you know the tune) Well I stuck my head in a little skunk’s hole And the Lil’ skunk said, "Well bless my soul, Get it out, get it out... remove it."

    This sermon goes through the life of Samson and touches on the flaws that lead him to physical and spiritual death. These are flaws that many people deal with today.

    Judges 13:1-5 One of my favorite stories in the Bible is the story of Samson, because of his amazing strength. HE WAS THE MAN!!! One thing I never when I was young, though his feats were legendary, his flaws were disastrous. Throughout these chapters we see the life of Samson. - Samson was ...read more

     | 3,869 views

    Before we can appreciate the good news of the forgiveness of sin through repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, we must face the bad news that we are, by nature, lost sinners.

    A Collection We Can Do Without (Romans 2:1-11) 1. Sometimes the line between right and wrong is blurry; take this story: SAN JOSE, Calif. (Reuters) All Tamar Sherman wanted to do was pet a dog and give it some water. Sherman’s act left her with a criminal record. A few months ago, Sherman was ...read more

    Do you have a desire to be the vessel that God created you to be? Or do you want to remain soiled and unused?

    “ARE YOU CLEAN ON THE INSIDE?” Here in my hand I hold this pretty china teacup. According to the seal at the bottom of this teacup it was handcrafted in Bavaria Germany, by a company called Jomann Haviland. It has a small crown as a seal, which I assume is the manufacturer’s logo. The outside ...read more

     | 3,537 views

    It’s so easy to lose our focus on Jesus Christ which causes us to spend time in a far country just like the prodigal son. Only when we realize where we are, repent, and return to the Father can we enjoy life to the full.

    LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST From Death to Life Ephesians 2:1-5; Luke 15 INTRODUCTION: A. Is there some thing, or some one, other than God that has your attention right now? 1. This is an every day battle for every Christian–staying focuses on Jesus Christ 2. I suppose that that is why the ...read more

     | 3,495 views

    Israel’s foolish acts are listed (vv. 1-7), and her floundering is portrayed (vv. 8-16). God’s desire for Israel was healing and restoration. Instead they were involved in lying, theft, robbery (v. l), blatant contempt of God (v. 2), political corruption

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: I read a humorous story about a woman who fell out of a second-floor window and landed in a slow-moving garbage truck. Half-buried in the litter, she tried without success to get the truck-driver’s attention. A foreign diplomat standing on the sidewalk saw her and ...read more

    All too often our definition for Good News has to do with interesting new Bible stories, or feel good inspirationals. But we may find ourselves one day in the Valley of Despair – Valley of Dry Bones, as a result of sin (birthed within us).

    THE BIRTH OF SIN Revised – 08.20.06 (Edit in text from “Elijah”, Chas. Swindoll, pages 127 – 131) Perhaps you came this morning expecting to hear some “Good News”… How do you define the term “Good News”?
