    Because Jesus is faithful to His promises, we must be ready for His return.

    Beth and I were up in Wisconsin last weekend to help her parents winterize their home. We had a very pleasant drive, especially after purchasing some squeaky cheese curds.

    As we look at Paul's instructions for Euodia and Syntyche and how they can get along, we also can learn about how to get along with others and how to help others get along with each other.

    Introduction: A. Let’s start today’s sermon with an old poem I really like called “The Perfect Church” I think that I shall never see, A Church that’s all it ought to be; A Church whose members never stray, Beyond the Strait and Narrow way; A Church that has no empty pews, Whose Preacher never has ...read more

    There is a way to the Father, and the way is wide open. There is a truth about God that can be known for certain. There is a life with God that lasts forever. And you can get it all through faith in Christ Jesus!

    Many cities in this land are multicultural. Over the years, people from all over the globe have found their way here.

    This message is about how individual Church members are given gifts that are needed within the Church body to ensure the Church accomplishes what Christ has called us to do without jealousy.

    Out of Many Comes One Borg Christians Scripture: First Corinthians 12:4-30 In my message last week I shared with you that Jesus’ birth was a gift of love from God.

    If the gospel is only successful among one stratum of society, it loses its punch. But if the gospel assembles people from both sides of the track (rich and poor), there is an intrigue to the gospel.

    Jesus kept the wrong company. In the later decades of the nineteenth century, Hell’s Half-Acre was known as the red-light district of Fort Worth. While the area was cleared in the 1960s for the Tarrant County Convention Center, it was, as the name suggests, a rough and rowdy district. In the ...read more

    When we face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy? Really, James? Find out how how that's possible.

    One of my favorite songs or mantras that I often repeated when I was a young man was: “Why me?” “Why does this always happen to me?” Every time there was a problem … any time something threw off my day or my plans … I would launch into an endless chorus of “Why Me?” One day I was singing the ...read more

    Yes I’m just like you when I hear a word and a promise that makes me think of revival. Wouldn’t that be nice, revival would solve everything! Thing is, God already sent the power of revival! Revival has a name and it’s Jesus!

    Who has ever wore a new piece of clothing? And when noticed, and someone ask if your outfit was new, the reply you gave was “this whole thing!” Because really, you say you didn’t want to be noticed, but yet you really did and you love the fact, that you were noticed!
