    We’re all born blind, and need His healing touch to see eternity’s first rays.

    (Twenty years ago I heard a preacher give a sermon with the same kinds of opening and closing illustrations. It left such an impression on me that I have waited all this time to preach this specific sermon.) OPEN: Nine men lay trapped more than 200 feet beneath the ground in a coal mine in ...read more

    God turns fear into fearless courage as we trust His presence, cry for His guidance, and wait confidently to see His goodness revealed.

    Introduction – Fear Has Many Faces Fear wears many disguises. It might be the adrenaline rush when a car swerves into your lane, the stomach-drop of a medical diagnosis, the sleepless calculation of bills that don’t add up, or the quiet dread of a relationship about to break. David knew fear on ...read more

    Deuteronomy 4 helps us understand the importance of putting God first in the home.

    Every so often, somebody calls to ask if we will marry them. We always say, “We’ll be glad to talk with you about it.” In some cases they are just thinking about marriage. In other cases they have already purchased their marriage license and have the date set. So, we get together to talk. And ...read more

    The lost world makes it known that they do not want to serve God in various ways.

    They do not want anyone, not even God, telling them how they should live their lives! Something the lost world does not seem to know is this; EVERYONE SERVES A GOD OF SOME SORT! The lost world has many gods that have control of their lives. Remember when Paul came to Mars Hill, in the Book of ...read more

    What was it about what Peter preached on Pentecost that cut his audience to the heart and prompted them to ask "What shall we do?" And what can we learn from what he said that can help us be more effective about sharing our faith?

    We just read a sermon by the Apostle Peter - a sermon he preached on the day of Pentecost - and it was so powerful that about 3000 people responded by asking: WHAT SHALL WE DO? And then they repented of their sin and were baptized into Christ. Their future was changed because of what Peter said. ...read more
