    New Things

    All of us love new things. God loves to give new things too. We have a New Convenant through the Blood of Jesus and once we accept Jesus, there are a lot of "new things" that can be ours as well.

    New Things By Pastor Jim May Don’t you just love to have something that’s new? Which of us does not like the smell of a new car? And who among us would not like to have a new home with all the modern conveniences? What about new clothes that fit better and haven’t been through the washer and ...read more

    Super Dad

    For Mother's Day I titled my sermon Mom Strong, highlighting some of the ways moms are strong. In following that theme the Father's Day sermon is titled, Super Dad. Let's see how we fathers can be Super Dads.

    SUPER DAD! One little boy's definition of Father's Day went like this: "Well, it's just like Mother's Day, only you don't spend as much." Speaking of spending, someone once said, "A father is someone who carries pictures where his money used to be." For Mother's Day I titled my sermon Mom Strong, ...read more

    Pretending Everything Is Okay

     | 22,661 views

    As part of a family of faith, Christians need to realize that we can be honest with God and with one another about just how difficult life can sometimes be.

    Pretending Everything is Okay / Psalm 137 Proper 22, Year C; Downsville Baptist Church; 7 October 2001 One of the biggest grievances that I presently hold against many churchgoers is the notion that it is important that we act like everything is just fine in our lives even when it is not. ...read more

    3d week in Lent Year B: Incorporate the Clear, Profound, and Life-Giving Word into your life

    A very punny, scholarly-inclined exploration into the contextual implications of Simon’s new name: Peter.

    “Jesus went into Galilee. There he proclaimed the Good News from God. ‘The time has come’ he said ‘and the kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe the Good News.’ As he was walking along by the Sea of Galilee he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net in the lake—for they ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,627 views

    Jesus compared his disciples to juicy grapes attached to a healthy, living vine. How important is it to bear fruit? What happens when we become lazy or self-centered and stop bearing fruit? How dependent are we on being attached to Christ?

    A Tour of John 15:1-17 We Are Planted and Pruned to Produce Juicy Fruit 1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned for ...read more

    Follow the instructions of Jesus by praying "The Lord's Prayer" with shameless audacity!

    Instructions. We have all, at some point in time, wrestled with following the instructions. It may be for a home improvement project, piecing together a pressboard bookshelf, or reading down the side of a box learning how to prepare that particular side-dish for supper.
