    Fifth in a six-part series on the life of faith as seen in the person of Abraham

    Cross a pessimist with a comedian and you get Woody Allen. His brand of off-beat, self-deprecating, hang-dog humor can be sometimes insightful, sometimes depressing, but usually, pretty funny. A sampling of his best one-liners: “I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam: I ...read more

    This Sermon contrasts the spiritual choices made by Lot, whose family was destroyed and Abraham. A serious Father’s Day message.

    On this Father’s Day, and as we continue our series called "A Series of Unfortunate Behaviors", I want us to take a look, as it relates especially to fathers – who are the God ordained heads of their households – to look at the subject of Spiritual Complacency." And I want this to be a message that ...read more

    This is a Father’s Day sermon based up Abraham, and why God called him to be the "father" of the nation of Israel.

    Gen. 18:19 A Father Used by God Intro: Today is "Father’s day". A day in which we want to honor someone very special.

    Wouldn’t you agree with me, that it is a great tragedy to sit idle in our little Christian box and let people die in sin and go to Hell without an attempt to rescue them?

    SOUL SEARCHING Gen 18:16-33 16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a ...read more

    We live in perilous & prosperous times. We have every modern convenience and an abundance of leisure time. We live amongst cities like Sodom and Gomorrah. We profit by living in the shadow of their wickedness. Are we just Negotiating with God?

    Negotiating with God The title for this mornings message is Negotiating with God. I must admit straight out that I am not a great negotiator. My wife would give me very strict instructions to keep my mouth shut when we went looking for a new car or any other major purchase. Having grown up in ...read more

    Fathers are not to be viewed as the family fool, but as the guiding force of the family; for God has made him just that.

    Father: Guiding Force Of The Family Text: Gen.18: 19 Intro: It is rather tragic that the position of fatherhood has been much diminished in our present-day culture. Listening to some of the liberal psychologists, one would think that fathers are not really that important to the family unit. ...read more

    This prayer of Abraham seems to be the 1st recorded prayer in Scripture. Why did God preserve it for us, and what can we learn by how Abraham prayed?

    OPEN: In Europe in the Middle Ages, people had a strong belief in the power of prayer. They also believed that the purer and simpler the life you led, the more God would listen to you. And since Monks were supposed to live purer and simpler lives than anyone else their prayers were seen as a ...read more
