     | 6,066 views

    Has God changed your plans lately? Did you fully expect one thing to happen only to find your plans were changed by circumstances beyond your control? It just might be that God is orchestrating your life the same way he did in the lives of Joseph and Mar

    The Baby is coming! Luke 2:1-5 It was October 1, 1984 I was sound asleep when suddenly I awoke at 3:00am to the sound of running water. I was 27 years old at the time and my wife Fran was just 21. We were expecting our first child and our due date was October 3rd 1984. We had taken prenatal ...read more

    A Hope, That Doesn’t Disappoint

     | 11,260 views

    You don’t have to do anything to deserve God’s favor, and that’s one of the hardest things to learn about Gods goodness and Favor. The fact that you don’t have to do anything, just boggles a lot of peoples minds.

    A Hope that does not disappoint Romans 5:5 NKJ 5Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. But “hope” in the Bible is a confident and positive expectation of good. God wants you to have a confident expectation ...read more

    Jesus wanted Peter to realize the ability to do what He was asking was already there, it already had arrived. Everything the disciples needed to complete the task before them, had already been bought, paid for and provided for, at the cross.

    “Love Jesus?” Feed His Sheep! John 21:15-17 NKJ. 15. So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” 16. He said to him again a second ...read more

    How should we pray? As Jesus taught His disciples, He also teaches us: 1. Pray with great determination (vs. 5-8) 2. Pray with great expectation (vs. 9-10) 3. Picture our Heavenly Father’s dedication (vs. 11-13) 4. Ponder God’s escalation (vs. 13)

    Worship is a key element to a Christian's life. It is the life-blood of a congregation. It could provide us with a unifying, uplifting experience. We must see it in the right light.

    1. You’re the Preacher! A mother watched her son begin to drain of energy as the week went on. By the end of the week he’d lost his desire to get out of bed. She heard the alarm go off through his bedroom door. Apparently he just kept punching the little snooze button on the top. ...read more

    Believe in Jesus, receive what God sent His Son to deliver and trust in His ability to bring about what He has promised! Its like the old hymn; Only believe, only believe; All things are possible, only believe;

    Do our expectations of who Jesus should be keep us from seeing who he really is?

    Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something about this story that has always bothered me. How on earth could Mary Magdeline, who has been one of Jesus’s closest friends, look right at him and doesn’t recognize him? Isn’t that like…the president of the George ...read more

    Two followers of Jesus had an encounter on their walk home that changed their lives and opened their eyes.

    Our Church members have had a lot of interest in the Walk to Emmaus lately, and for a good reason. I have never known anyone who went on a Walk that wasn’t tremendously blessed. If you are not saved when you go on the Walk, there is a very good chance you will be saved before you come home. ...read more

    Annual sermon, D. C. Baptist Convention. Clergy and laity will be in conflict, but it can be creative when we recognize our humanness, turn our competitiveness in productivity, and learn to identify where God is already at work.

    I've done a little work through the years in helping ministers get positions on church staffs. Every Baptist minister, I guess, has done that. Where are the bishops when you really need them? But it's been fun to help young ministers, particularly those who were students of mine from my campus ...read more
