    In order to catch what God has for you, in order to become what God has purposed for you to be you must go through a divine process a process of spiritual preparation, in other words you must follow the instructions.

    “I’m Going Fishing” We are a creature that has been given the ability to make decisions based upon choices and not just a reaction or impulse that is solely based upon instinct and because of this ability when we finally figure out what it is we want, we set out to achieve that which we desire. ...read more

    Jesus has a way of always challenging us to go forward. Just when we think we know Him, He reveals something new that forces us into faith.

    Just when you think you know who Jesus is – He reveals something else that throws you completely off. Just when you have a handle on your life, something happens to upset everything you’ve come to rely on. We think that describes someone who is young in the Lord or who should know better. But in ...read more

    The understanding of Holy Communion comes through experience more than rational thought.

    GOING OUT OF YOUR MIND TEXT: Luke 24:13-35 One of my favorite books for mindless reading is the Science Fiction parody, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, probably because it contains one of my favorite illustrations of being mindless. The people of the universe are burning to know ...read more

    What have you done? How have you responded to God’s kindness? How have you responded to God’s invitation of abundant blessings and riches found in God’s kindness, tolerance and patience?

    Title: What are you going to get? Scripture: Romans 2:4-6 Romans 2:4-6 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you toward repentance? 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing ...read more

    Looking at Jesus being the conquering Lion and the sacrificial Lamb, the way to win is to submit to God’s plans and purposes.

    Revelation 5:1-10 – The Way to go Up is Down I’m sure most of you know what an oxymoron is. It’s a figure of speech that seems to contradict itself. There are lists and lists of the things, and here are some of my favorites: Artificial Grass, boneless ribs, big town, harmless lie, communist ...read more

    We turn our successes into failures because we see only the negatives, and we need approval. But in the Incarnation God accepts our incompleteness and offers us His unconditional love.

    All of us want success. All of us need success. If you don’t care about doing something well, you are in sad shape. You are in trouble if you don’t want to succeed at something. And yet the problem is that we are our own worst enemies. We defeat ourselves time and time again. We take ...read more

    For Christmas Eve Communion: Jesus remembered in the time of trial that He was born for a purpose, and He intentionally declared that purpose. He fulfilled the mission for which God sent Him.

    On Sunday I offered the opinion that I was probably the only preacher in town who was using the Old Testament on the Sunday before Christmas. Well, maybe some used those Isaiah passages about a child named Immanuel and the Prince of Peace. But Elijah? Who would have thought that Elijah and his ...read more

    Although we know we can have joy in trials and God works all together for good…sometimes we don’t see it. Some days faith wanes, and we wonder where God is. Link inc. to formatted text, audio, PowerPoint.

    When Things Go Wrong Matthew 11:2-11 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/WhenThingsGoWrong.html It is a blessing to be a Christian, but this world is under a curse. Things go wrong. Plans fail.

    Even though we are saved and our sins are forgiven, we can still bear scars that are a direct result of choices we have made.

    Read the story of David’s moral failure. Notice even after David acknowledged his sin he still paid the consequences. It was a scar that would not heal. Introduction: the Bible in 1st Peter 5:8 tells us "the devil as a roaring lion is seeking whom he may devour or destroy, and we are to be on our ...read more
