    This is a sermon that I delivered at a Church Picnic. It is about finding God in the love of a friend and letting others find God in you.

    Finding God, Isaiah 55:6 Introduction I heard a story recently about a man who was playing hide and seek with his two year old daughter. They were upstairs in his house and the little girl had decided to hide into one of those closets with the folding doors. When he called, “Where’s Shelley?” ...read more

    The paradoxical point of view from a pitiful, prideful, pacified, parched, polluted, pew pushing christian sitting today in a pew near you.

    We’re going to be looking at a few different points on how to experience personal revival in ones heart. We’ve heard a lot about revival and how we wish we could have it, but maybe God’s trying to tell us something – how about we are not ready for it yet. Why? A few reasons – maybe some of us ...read more

    Though we look forward to glad heavenly reunion with Christ Jesus and with God at the end of our lives, we need not wait for that time. We can experience that nearness and relationship in the here and now. That is our reward for "receiving" God’s messen

    Reward - Matthew 10: 40 - 42 Intro: Crime stoppers – reward for information leading to an arrest – getting a reward for returning something that was lost. The reward is usually tied to some thing or someone. Like links in a chain. I. William Barclay in his commentary on this passage points ...read more

     | 7,244 views

    The whole experience of PRAYER is not to wrestle with God over our demands, but to know the heart of the One who seek to bless us and call us to a higher purpose in life, and help us understand our utter dependence on Him for success.

    This picture of Jacob wrestling with a God-man can be considered as one of the most bizarre encounter in the Bible. • He was all alone, having sent his family and all his possessions across the stream. • It was in the night, and he wrestled with this God-man until daybreak. Many see him as a hero ...read more
