    Here is a message that uses the life and actions of Nehemiah as a lesson to challenge and teach the true nature of a servant. This message would work for either dicsipleship or as a challenge for an ordination service.

    THE ACTIONS OF A MAN GOD USES One of the greatest issues facing the church today is the dearth of leadership. There has never been a greater need for God called, God inspired, God equipped leadership. God has however taught us all we need to learn about leadership in the Bible. He has also ...read more

    “Putting Your Best Foot Forward” Acts 5: 12-42 One of the things that has happened in our society across the years is that our concept of service has greatly changed. What we have seen is that real service has almost become a thing of the past and has been replaced by convenience. Some of you ...read more

    This sermon focuses on Jesus’ challenge for an "Upside Down Kingdom" challenging us to be first by being last. This is a call to except that challenge and become first place in the things God wants us to be excellent in.

    Mark 10:35-45 35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask." 36 "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. 37 They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory." 38 "You ...read more

    OVERCOMING MEDIOCRITY INTRODUCTION: For many, what we give to God is little more than our leftovers. We have allowed society to entice us with its many “things” and rationalize that God wants us to be happy. While I cannot deny that God desires the best for His creation, we must ...read more

    When God wants to do a work of significance, He calls a man, uniquely prepares that man for His work and anoints that man with power for the work at hand.

    In this world we are told that climbing the ladder, stepping on other people, and even "being served" is a path to greatness - the Bible teaches something entirely different.
