     | 29,971 views

    Suffering is never easy, but understanding what God is up to helps us cooperate with Him in the process of using our pain for good results.

    One of the biggest speed bumps to understanding God can be our encounters with pain and suffering. The hurts we experience may stem from abandonment or abuse, sorrow and loss, fears and failures, setbacks and confrontations, chronic illness and pain - the list is long. We all hurt for a variety ...read more

     | 8,173 views

    "Run the Race" VBS wrap-up sermon. True Christian living can be compared to an Olympic-style race. With the crowd in place and the prize set before us, we have everything we need to run.

Building up our Endurance (12:1c—let us run with patience the race that is set before us) 4. Looking to our Example ...read more

    Three Strikes, You're Out! Series

    based on 19 ratings
     | 13,230 views

    Israel missed each opportunity God gave them. Each time Amos interceded, God held off on afflicting them. Finally, He had enough—He afflicted them with almost complete destruction. God is faithful to respond to the intercessory prayers of His people.

    1. The first pitch was a fastball of grace. 2. The second pitch was a fastball of mercy. 3. The third pitch was a changeup of affliction. AMOS 7:1-9 I think everybody here knows how much I enjoy sports. Mostly football, but I like other sports too. I like watching NASCAR. I’m a frustrated ...read more

    When (not if) you go through grief, if you have Jesus Christ at the center of your life, you can make it through.

    Every Tuesday in September, and there are five of them, I will be facilitating a group entitled "Living After Loss." As I have thought about you this past week, I realized there’s one word that applies, or will apply, to all of us, and that word is grief. How many unmentioned needs are in the ...read more

     | 4,668 views

    When you face Jesus you must decide whether or not you will receive as Lord and make Him your Master.

    Do you ever find it interesting, concerning some people who claim faith in the same Lord that you do? If you were to ask them, "If you die today, are you going to heaven?" they would say, "Yes." Yet, there’s so much difference in the level of commitment, such a vast difference in the way they live ...read more

     | 9,226 views

    God expects us to be transformed into the image of Christ. To refuse to do this we remain deformed in the image of the world.

    In November of 1977 we adopted our son Kevin. As Kevin grew, he would occasionally want to sleep in our “king-sized” bed with us. We were used to having our dog in bed with us, and the addition of Kevin added little to the problem. Before too long, Kevin preferred to sleep in the big bed with Mom ...read more
