    Through the cross the believer has the promise that God is working in all things for his eternal good. But it’s a different story for the nonbeliever.

    The mule in the well! A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule "braying", or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that ...read more

    Rewritten for Calverton Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD: When terrible things happen, pray honestly, in complaint; remember what God has done in the past; and know that He may be forcing us to see how much we need Him.

    There is very little justice in the world. Many people feel that they are not being treated fairly. Just about all of us think we deserve a better deal than we are getting. We think that there is very little justice in the world. But that’s old news. We already know that. So what do you do ...read more

    Rewritten for Calverton Baptist Church: In a world of injustice, "bad" people get good things they do not deserve. But grace gives us gentle gifts, gives us the satisfaction of outwaiting our enemies, and allows us to wait for God’s justice.

    I was in my office at Takoma Park church, and, as so often happened, someone stopped by to ask for help. The story was very much like most of the stories I had heard. He said that he just needed a few dollars to get by. Tomorrow there would be a job and, “Pastor, if you’ll just give me ...read more

    KNOWING IS GOD REAL: Have you ever had one of those moments where you questioned whether God is real or not? It seems that lots of folks do in our world.

  • Looking Good: Just One More Thing

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 14, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,615 views

    Dinosaurs look good in the museum, but their bones are really disconnected, are not together, and are dry as dust. The church must learn to connect, to unite, and to be exciting, as God wills.

    Dinosaurs fascinate me. Those ancient beasts which once upon a time roamed this planet, foraging for food and terrorizing smaller creatures. You’ve seen them on the late movies, enormous reptiles, roaring and raring up on their hind legs, grabbing the pretty girl between those giant jaws and ...read more

    A message showing that when Christ comes, good things happen. We need to follow the example Jesus sets in prayer and time with the Father. Do we start each day with God, do we take time to be alone with God, are we at the throne of grace daily, are we i

    Mark 1: 29-39 When Jesus Comes, Good Things Happen Last week we saw Jesus go to the synagogue and preach and heal with Divine authority.

    If we are to minister to a world in need, we must give it what Jesus gave: goodness, beauty and truth

    The Baptism of the Lord January 10 2010 The first thing we should do today is correct a Hollywood-produced misconception about John’s baptism. Many of us grew up watching one or the other movie in which Jesus was baptized, or a large group of Protestant Christians were baptized in a river, ...read more

  • Struggling Even When The Good Times Roll Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 21, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,343 views

    July 1989: When we are prospering, we are tempted into the idolatry of me-ism and self-congratulation. This is an opportunity to do more for others and for the Kingdom, for God is the source of our bounty.

    About a year ago, toward the end of July, I placed one of these up here on the pulpit as the visible sermon for the day. Remember? Do you recall what we called that Sunday? Right: we called it "catch-up Sunday" …catch-up Sunday … and the idea was that if we were behind in our giving, if we as a ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,088 views

    A book I read once was called "Good Grief" and it said that something good can come from losing a loved one. Jesus said to His disciples on the mountain,"Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted". Why did Jesus teach this to His Disciples?

    Humans are vulnerable and weak. God is powerful and mighty. Can we trust that God will really take care of us, that we won’t get squished when His hand is upon on lives?

    Sermon for CATM – September 14. 2008 - Philippians Series: “He Who Began a Good Work…” Philippians 1:1-11 Would you believe that this Scripture was written by a man who began his relationship with the church by being its enemy?

  • What Good Deed Must I Do? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 30, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,298 views

    The rich young ruler’s question was off-base. It assumes that we can do one overriding deed to win God over; it is possessive; and it is self-centered.

    I am not very good at giving gifts. I just have a hard time, when Christmas and birthdays and anniversaries roll around, a hard time giving the right gifts. It’s not that the folks I want to give to are picky or unworthy; it’s just that I can’t seem to figure out what they want and get it. For ...read more
