INTRODUCTION Here’s a scenario I would like for you to consider, you just left the doctor’s office and was given a list of foods to avoid and then you go to a family dinner only to ...read more

    HoHum: I’ve enjoyed fishing over the years but I don’t do much fishing. Why? Not because it’s a bad thing to do. The main reason why I don’t fish much is because I believe I can use my time more wisely doing something for the Lord. Get a group of buddies together and go ...read more

    What is possible in each one of our futures? If we are willing to wait on God, it's more like what's not possible in each one of our futures!

    He Will do it Again! Isa. 40:31 NKJ But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. But teach me Lord, teach me Lord to wait! When I read this verse, the way I take it is that ...read more

    Let's talk about our doctors today. How do you know you have a good doctor? It's not just tied to his medical school or training. A good doctor applies that knowledge well.

    It’s the journey, not just the destination, that’s important. Let your trials be a blessing to you.

    Opening illustration: If there is any such thing as a universal question, it may be this: Why are all these trials in my life? This is not a new question; generations of children have asked it. They have then grown into adults who must answer the same question when their children ...read more

    Someone said, “Fellowship is like fellows in a ship!” Then they said, “The only thing wrong with fellowship is that there are not enough fellows in the ship.”

    As we read through the New Testament, we can see that FELLOWSHIP is essential to God’s church. For a church to be a strong church, FELLOWSHIP IS ESSENTIAL.

    We should and can ask God for all we need

    We hardly need encouragement to ask for things. From birth to death from cradle to crypt our wants and needs drive us to obtain what we want or need. Some mistakenly think that we should not ask for things for ourselves because “it isn’t spiritual” (whatever that means). But hear this: * “Ask, ...read more
