So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” John 8:6-7 When the woman was caught in the act of adultery ...read more

A sermon on the first chapter of Revelation introducing how the book of Revelation works.
Introduction I can still remember the first Bible study I ever went to on the book of Revelation: “Revelation made simple” they said, “come and understand it better” they said.

Stephen bravely preached a sermon about how people like them had rejected God and Jesus. God wanted Israel to follow as their leader and king. Some of the Jews became so angry at Stephen that they threw stones at him until he died. Stephen was the first martyr of the Christian faith.

Scripture: Matthew 6:33
Martha was working in the kitchen to earn Jesus’ approval, while Mary was sitting in the living room listening to Him teach. But Jesus had no problem with Mary. Why? Because our love of Him must come before our service.
The living room intimacy Mary enjoyed with Jesus will never come out of the busyness of Martha’s kitchen. Busyness . . . breeds distraction. - Joanna Weaver(1) One time a counterfeit bill made it into circulation and no one knew it was fake for quite some time. It was spent hundreds of times on ...read more

Christmas is a time of giving, and it means that many of us need to think about what kind of gifts we plan to give to those we love.

For example, men have come to realize there are some things you do not buy for your wife on her birthday or at Christmas. Men who have been married for a long period of time have learned some things. • ...read more
