    This is a sermon from a series on worship. This one deals with giving as a function of our worship.

    It seems to me that most people want to benefit from their money and they do whatever seems best to them to receive that benefit. Whether it is spending it on the things they want, investing it in hope of a positive return, or even gambling it for the possibility of a big payoff. That last one is ...read more

    Funeral message for a Christian lady who died of cancer.

    The scripture was read earlier: “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” I heard this verse preached as a funeral message many years ago, when a friend of mine lost her mother far too soon to cancer as well. And the verse has always appealed to me, because it’s such a great statement of ...read more

I encouraged you to break away from the perspective that comes from the world. The views we pickup from the culture, like when we hear elevator music where we tend ...read more

    We are practicing this abiding in Christ as we worship together with the hope that it will continue after the benediction is pronounced and the postlude ends.

    Like the good shepherd of last week’s text, this week’s image of the vine is another extended metaphor, which also borrows from and adapts Old Testament imagery for Israel. Whereas the Synoptic parable of the vineyard is a story of violence and greed (Mark 12:1-12), this image of the vine is one ...read more

    Jesus died on a cross between two nameless criminals. We don’t know the names of either one of these men. It is the only time we read about them in the Bible. Three men died that day on a cross. One made the wrong choice, one made the right choice, and One is your only choice.

    Jesus hung on the cross for six agonizing hours before succumbing to the torture of crucifixion through asphyxiation. During that time, Jesus made seven statements on the cross that were recorded in the four gospels of the New Testament. Each one of these statements is significant and worthy of ...read more

    We greet our children, we greet our spouse, we even greet strangers we meet on the street. How do we greet the Lord in prayer?

    I’m sure it comes to no surprise to you that I enjoy reading old letters and books. It’s amazing to see how the style of writing has changed over the years. Even in my lifetime, writing has become a lot less formal. Many of the grammar rules that I grew up learning are not being used anymore ...read more

    We can always learn lessons from a thief, usually it’s what not to do. But in this case this thief teaches us four lessons that are worth following if we want to hear those words someday for ourselves, "Today, you will be with me in Paradise."

    Last week we started a series on the seven statements of Christ from the cross. Words that give us tremendous insight for our own lives. Last week in the words, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”, we saw the forgiveness of Christ as he forgave the very people who were ...read more
