    The give and take of Mercy

    Control over ourselves can be a very difficult skill to both obtain and maintain, especially when we are the one who has been wronged. The first thing that comes to mind is a fitting punishment for the person on the other end. Whether it is our marriages, our friendships, our co-workers or even ...read more

    A look at several (from entertainment and science) who started out as failures but became great successes. Samson is our model of one who started well, failed miserably, but was restored.

    This message reveals the great grace, mercy, and love of God extended to the lost sinner. But only those willing to realize their sinful condition, and repent from the heart can be true recipients of the Father’s forgiveness and restoration.

    You may not have even known you were God’s enemy. You started the war, but you couldn’t end it, only God could. And how He did it and what He did for you will blow you away!

    We are in a war. We don’t see many signs of the war, at least not that we equate with this war. It’s one we can’t win but have committed to anyway, or at least have been committed to by others. We started it but cannot end it. It could be called “The War of Independence.” It’s not independence from ...read more

    Blessed Are The Picker Uppers Series

     | 4,047 views

    We must be before we do. Our Father who is "rich in mercy" expectes as much of His children and promises the same merciful treatment to them as they extend to others.

    Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. A Christian must be something before he can do something. One bankrupt in spirit, broken with grief, submissive to God’s leading, and living with an insa¬tiable hunger for righteousness is now ready and able to live out the life he has ...read more

     | 10,572 views

    Many skeptics use Christian hypocrites as an excuse for rejecting Christ. In this sermon, we make the distinction between sinners and hypocrites. Everyone in church is a sinner, but not everyone is a hypocrite.

    Introduction: A. One day Robert Redford, the famous actor, was walking through a hotel lobby, when a woman recognized him and ran over to him. 1. With great excitement, she gushed, “Are you the real Robert Redford?” 2. As the doors of the elevator closed, he replied, “Only when ...read more

    Resentment is a real part of our lives that must be recognized and dealt with in God honoring ways.

    Welcome everyone and thank guests for joining us.

    Hate is a mental condition that harms the mind, body and spirit, which if allowed to remain will also destroy our relationship with God.

    Introduction The Hatfield and McCoy feud was recently on TV; this is one of the saddest things I have ever watched. It is so wrong for people to hate people just because of their name or because of something they have done in the past. When Christians hate people they are in direct violation of ...read more

    Only as we deal with our past can we move ahead into God’s bright future.

    No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead (Philippians 3:13-14 NLT). I have a past. My journey back to God began with a pack of cigarettes and an offer to teach a Sunday School class. I was saved ...read more

    The sequel to my sermon called "Baggage". It's about allowing Jesus to clean your life.

    Psalm 51:1-12 – Cleaning Your Closets Last week I preached about clutter in our lives. It was delivered while we were in the throes of moving. Well, this week’s message is somewhat of a sequel to last week. Because you know, when you move, there’s a lot of cleaning that must ...read more
