    Life According To Plumb

    We are drowning in a sea of impurity. Everywhere we look we find temptation to lead impure lives. The psalmist asked a question that troubles us all: how do we stay pure and holy in a filthy environment? Where can we find that strength and wisdom?

    Opening illustration: Charlie Riggs has been called “the man behind Billy Graham.” For nearly 40 years, Riggs was the director of counseling and follow-up for Mr. Graham’s evangelistic meetings. In his counselor training classes, Charlie taught thousands of people the basic principles of how to ...read more

    Jesus sets us free from the curse of the Law, from the guilt of sin, and from the kingdom of Satan.

    John 8. I want us to consider a question together this morning. The question is this: what is the main mission of the Messiah? Why did Jesus Christ come to this earth? Well we get some help from Jesus very first sermon where He reads from Isaiah 61 saying, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because ...read more

    Is your ministry all polish?

    Polishing Doorknobs There is an old saying when something is futile or a waste of time and money. Doing (whatever) is like polishing doorknobs on the Titanic. I am sure that when that ship went down it had nicely polished doorknobs but they didn’t stay that way long under water. The loss of ...read more

    What does God’s word say about children and our responsibility to them. Who are the children anyway?

    Today’s lesson is about family. Specifically I want to talk about children. Let me start with a childhood story and see if I can connect with some of you kids here today. When I was growing up in North Alabama, I remember every year around this time Mom, Dad and all us kids would pile into the ...read more

    Morality is not just an arbitrary abstraction. God is hurt by what we do, and we ourselves are hurt by immoral behavior. But God in Christ can give us a new heart.

    I am a part of a group of five ministers who get together about once a month as a support group. Our intent is simply to share what is going on in our lives and let the others comment with any wisdom they may have. At the last meeting of the group, one of the members was talking about the way he ...read more

    Authentic FORGIVENESS is the mutual recognition that REPENTANCE IS GENUINE and RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS ARE RENEWED.

    FORGIVENESS! Seven times a day? In fact, seventy times seven! What is Forgiveness? FUNK & WAGNELL’S DICTIONARY says FORGIVENESS means "The act of forgiving or the state of being forgiven." Then it says to FORGIVE means 1."To grant pardon for or remission of something; cease to demand the ...read more

    Words Are Necessary

    We’ve all heard the quote falsely attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, "Preach the gospel at all times. use words if necessary;" words are necessary and this message encourages believers to speak boldly.

    MEN’S RETREAT – NOV 3, 2007 Speaking in the Fight Col.4:6 - Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. 1. Why speaking is a fight: hard to take a stand, etc. a. Speaking is difficult. i. We’re scared to speak! 1. It’s been said ...read more

    If you and I want to truly know Christ it’s going to cost us. Knowing Jesus requires that you and I take stock of our gains, our prestige, our very personages and like Paul, consider their worth in light of Christ. What does it mean to know Christ? What w

    I WANT TO KNOW CHRIST I want to know Christ. To say this is to commit ourselves to a monumental task that would involve the rest of our lives and would never find its completion. When Jesus comes back, He will have a name that only He knows (Rev. 19:12). This reveals to us that all there is to ...read more

    Paul, Pt. 14

    THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT (GALATIANS 5:16-23) A brother attended a charismatic church retreat. It was such an emotional highpoint for him. He said he had never cried so much in his life before. Curious, he asked why more than half the audience speaks in tongues simultaneously, so I shared with him ...read more

    Word Or Wonders? Series

    Why are you believing Jesus? Are you believing Him only for the miraculous things He is able to do for you? That’s why the Galileans welcomed Him and He marveled at their unbelief.

    This morning we have reached a transition text. These three verses mark a transition from the wonderful revival that just happened in Samaria… to the time when Jesus went back home to Galilee. In one way, you can think of what has happened in chapter four up to this point as a stopover. Remember ...read more

    The Old Testament Law was very strict about how the people of Israel were to clease themselves... but the bronze laver was only used by the priests. What can that mean for Christians today?

    OPEN: Years ago I went to the a seminar for preachers put on by a local hospital. In part, the seminar was an attempt on their part to show appreciation for our ministry to their patients. But they also went over various items that would make our ministry more effective. Amongst the topics they ...read more

    Have You Only One Blessing?

    Our families are dysfunctional because we are not creative and do not consult the Lord in prayer. Isaac is weak, late, and materialistic. Rebekah is manipulative and anxious. God the Father of Jesus shows us how to love and give to our chidren.

    We are bombarded daily with the phrase "family values." It has become the buzzword of the current political campaign. And as candidates parade their wives and children and grandchildren across the platform; as presidential hopefuls debate about which of them is the more family-oriented; as ...read more

    This is a more in-depth study than the one we did in Genesis. It is only on chapter 1 of Exodus, and covers the period the Israelites were in captivity in Egypt.

    As the book of EXODUS begins, the Israelites are being held as slaves in Egypt. And when the time is ready for God to lead them out of Egypt, He calls a man named Moses to free them. EXODUS is a story of how God protected His people by breaking the chains to captivity they were held under. ...read more
