    Many new Christians think getting saved will make all lust for sin to go away; some new Christians will suffer more severe temptation than ever.

    I want the church to grow because God desires that it grows but I may not want any of my family members who will take the spotlight away from me.

    I received this idea from my mentor Jerrie Barber. I Want the Church to Grow – But Do I Want Anymore People #7 Philippians 2:1-8 For the last six weeks we have been looking at Church growth and some of the things that we do to sabotage that growth. I still believe that everyone here tonight ...read more

    Abram was told to break away from all he had known. God is silent on the details, but He promised to walk with Abram. He filled in the details along the way.

    Some of you may remember the water incident in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada. Our church is about a 10 minute drive away and this is a message I preached following the tragedy.

    ARE YOU SECURE IN CHRIST? If there is one thing that the tragedy in Walkerton has taught people it is that we really take our water for granted. We never thought twice about taking a drink from our taps or taking a bath – or letting our kids play in the sprinklers – but this Ecoli thing has all ...read more

    This sermon analyzes the perils that can be unnecessarily experienced when we choose to stray away from the Provision of GOD to go after what we want out of life!

    “Stay In The Father’s Presence!!!” Luke 15:11-24 11. And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13.

    Even A Little Can Hurt

    based on 37 ratings
     | 3,549 views

    We cannot play around with temptation because we are not strong enough to resist it for long, and when temptation is taken, it will always lead us into sin - away from God.

    Have you ever noticed how opportunity only knocks once, but temptation seems to keep banging away until you answer the door? It’s always there waiting to entice us, and unless we are constantly on guard against it, we will slip and succumb to it. It might be the temptation of fear; the temptation ...read more

    God strips away from Gideon everything he had confidence in so that Gideon will have confidence in God. Learn the basis of humility and how God works it in us.

    Last time we saw timid, but stubborn Gideon. He thought he was incapable of obeying God in rescuing Israel from the Midianites. He asked God for several signs - including two different signs with the fleece as a way of proving that God was really going to do what He said. So now it’s almost as if ...read more

    With this message I want to contrast the difference between living a life away from the presence of the Lord, and living a life in the abiding presence of the Lord as illustrated in the lives of Enoch and Eve.

    Title: “Enoch and Eve” Can you imagine the dinner conversation that Adam and Eve must have had the day that she taken of the forbidden. Adam must have asked Eve about the Devil. What is he like? What Eve might have said to her husband? Satan is So Wonderful? (Gen 3:6 KJV) And when ...read more

    Moses demonstrates what it means to be set apart for the Lord. We not only are stand apart from sin, we are also to call others to stay away from sin.

    Does June 11 seem like a distant memory? It was only 40 days ago, but it probably seems like a lifetime for this congregation. On June 11 we had just started to lay tile in the sanctuary. On that same day one contractor stood among the construction chaos and said, “You want to be open by June ...read more
