    A funeral sermon for an 85 year old woman who had passed away due to a blood disorder, and had gradually lost a lot of her memory in her last month. I was at her bedside when she was called home, and her last moments served as a powerful witness to mysel

    Some of you as you arrived here this morning may have already noticed the two hymns that were chosen for the congregation to sing are “Softly and Tenderly” and “Precious Lord, Take My Hand.” Although they appear in our newer hymnbook, With One Voice, they’re actually pretty old, familiar hymns. ...read more

    The Triumphal Entry by Jesus on Palm Sunday will remain in history as one of the best organized confrontation to the powers that be. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem proved He was the real leader and not Rome nor the High Priest. For this, He had to die.

Gazing across Lake Huron offers a virtually uninterrupted perception of darkness. The black seems solid, so effectively does it hide all other objects. On Saturday night, ...read more

    This sermon is about some basics of prayer that we as Christians seem to have forgotten.

    Missed Opportunities It happened only a few weeks ago. The normal time for prayer came in the service. I had asked for requests. Only one person raised their hand. And so I proceeded with the prayer itself. But the moment I was finished praying hands shot up all over the sanctuary. It ...read more

    Psalm 22 is written to reveal the PROPHECY, AGONY and VICTORY of the cross. It is a great Psalm teaching us about the sovereignty of God in His provisions for man.

    Introduction – Trilogies have an interesting take on life. I remember when the Star Wars trilogy came out when I was a young adult.

    The only thing we bring to salvation is simply “We Believe.” Why don’t some believe? 1)Some people know, but don’t believe, and 2)Some people won’t believe because they don’t want to know. ..excellent illustration about our helplessness/God’s strength

    We need to move from the mountaintop into the valley, from transformation to sacrifice, if we are going to be effective in the world.

    I don’t know about you but very often the place when I feel nearer to God is on top of a mountain. Mountain top experiences are great, and when I’m standing there, on top of a mountain enjoying the awesome majesty of God’s creation, that’s fantastic. And those who have been silly enough to follow ...read more

    LUKE 22:39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40On reaching the place, Luke assumes his readers knew that “the place” was the garden of Gethsemane. Why is that? Probably the same reason he added “as usual” to the fact that ...read more

    Using guilt to get people to give money to the Lord’s work is wrong, but it is a temptation because 37% of regular church attenders give nothing to the church, 33% of them engage in at least some form of gambling.
