    We must remember that this earthly life is not all that there is. We must keep looking beyond our earthly life, which is passing away. We must remain invested in the world in order to do the work God has given us to do.

    Do you ever get the feeling that time is passing by quickly? Do you ever feel that you have too much to do and not enough time to do it? If so, then you can probably appreciate the sense of urgency that Paul has in the reading from 1 Corinthians 7:29-31, which we heard earlier in today’s ...read more

    Jesus warns us to be ready for His return. He warns us because the danger and threat is real. To do so, He tells us story about 10 virgins who are waiting for the return of the Bridegroom. The parable is explained and applied to the hearer.

    In Annie Dillard’s Teaching a Stone to Talk, she talks about a British Artic expedition which set sail in 1845 to chart the Northwest Passage around the Canadian Artic to the Pacific ocean. Neither of the two ships and 138 men on board returned. Why? They packed their ship like they were going ...read more

    The average lifespan is about 25,520 days (Psa. 90:10). In light of this, don’t you think it would be so wise to use those days fulfilling God’s purpose for your life? God has a purpose for you that is greater than your wishes, ambition, occupation or eve

    Paul had just endured 3 years of imprisonment without trial, a two-week storm in a ship and then shipwreck, and having escaped, was bitten on the hand by a viper. What else could happen? It's time for Jesus to show up -- and He does, in a big way!

    DON’T GIVE OUT, DON’T GIVE UP, DON’T GIVE IN! Acts 28:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man went to visit a psychiatrist one day. When the Dr. came in, he asked, "What can I do for you today? What seems to be the problem?" 2. "I have a problem. Every single time I go to the ...read more

    We like to pretend we are far too nice to have enemies. But the bible is realistic. It doesn't try to pretend we don't have enemies. Instead it tells us how God wants us to treat them...

    Who is your enemy? Who is your enemy? You are probably going to reply to me “I don’t have any enemies….” Afterall it hardly seems very nice to have enemies? “Live peaceably with all” said our reading (at least if I cut out the words that came before) Surely if I am a Christian I am not allowed to ...read more

    If Jesus was to appear before you, asking you what you want Him to do for you, what would you say? The message is intended to be a challenge for us to boldly ask the Master for that one thing that weighs our hearts.

    “As [Jesus and His disciples] went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him. And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, ‘Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!’ The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, ...read more

    In this sermon, God designed purpose is to get the believer to understand his purpose in ministry and his plan to accomplish his planned tasks.

    As we discover the church of today, the church really doesn’t know how to experience the anointing because many sermons have been preached, many stories have been told, and many books have been written, but to give you the true meaning of anoiting, many people can’t tell you because they have the ...read more

    If someone asks me, "Why do you believe in God?" I don't necessarily say "I just have faith."

    If someone asks me, "Why do you believe in God?" I don't necessarily say "I just have faith." Many might say that. But for someone who asks that question, I need to know how to defend my faith. So my response is this: I think it's very reasonable to believe in God. ...read more

    Part 3. When we are in relationship with God we should expect to hear God speaking to us.

    If we are not experiencing God’s abundant life we need to ask ourselves why? I think we can boil the problem down to one of three issues: 1) We might have a relationship problem with God. Over the last couple of weeks we have looked at the importance of knowing God, having a personal relationship ...read more
