    When we consider what Christ desires from us we feel uneasy. Our relationship with Him affects all our other relationships ... For some of us these demands may seem too hard to achieve. We are afraid of whole-hearted obedience to Christ will cost us.

    Opening illustration: S. I. McMillen, in his book None of These Diseases, tells a story of a young woman who wanted to go to college, but her heart sank when she read the question on the application blank that asked, "Are you a leader?" Being both honest and conscientious, she wrote, "No," and ...read more

    The fourth in a series dealing with the parables found in Matthew. This sermon was preached on Memorial Day and so it somewhat ties in with that holiday.

Magnification makes an object appear larger to the eye, but there is only one way to get a sense of an object’s true ...read more

    A group wanted Paul to justify and help them pick and choose who they felt had Proper and Improper motives when it came to Preaching the Word of God. Paul redirected their focus and rejoiced that Christ is Preached, focus not on the motive but the Word

    There is no sin that is too big for God’s forgiveness.

    The story of the Geresene Demoniac. This story gives me chills. There is so much meaning beyond the words written on the page. There are so many questions to be asked. Jesus enters a town that is obviously not filled with Jews. The first question to be asked is, Are they Gentiles or Heathens. We ...read more

    “To remain in Christ is become fruitful.”

    I wonder why it’s such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter. Isn’t it the same thing? I wonder why, when the preacher says, "In closing..." he doesn’t. I wonder why it pleases her to say time stands still when you ...read more
