    November 30, 2003 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13 Whenever you go through a death in the family, it is obviously a difficult time.

    This sermon deals with some of the reasons we fail to draw close to God and the virtues of being close to God.

    How close is close enough? Closer Zeno’s paradox. Imagine I had high school boys and girls lined up at opposite ends of the gym and had them half the distance between them every 10 seconds, how long would it be before they are touching? Well, if I always half the distance, they will never ...read more

    “A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

    If we learn from Peter – hear the straight talk of Jesus to Peter and to us we can avoid a lot of the pitfalls and mistakes Peter made. If we yield to the straight talk of Jesus – listen – repent – change course then we too can make a difference for the Kingdom of Heaven.
