    Jesus said, "I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name, the name that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one." (John 17:11)

    Broken, Worn Out, Old Clay Pots

    I used this sermon as one of several in a series on Clay Pots (Earthen Vessels). This was the one I used on Father’s Day during that series.

One of the pots had a crack down its side to a point about half way. The other pot, perfect! Each had been ...read more

    This message invites the listener to see more than just a cute little baby in a cute little manger at Christmastime, but to see what Simeon saw when he met the baby Jesus in the temple. He saw a Sacrifice, a Savior, and a Stone.

    Simeon Sees (Luke 2:22-35) Christmas is a time of surprises. There was a lady who was preparing her Christmas cookies. There was a knock at the door.
