    If we adopt the Abraham/Sarah pattern of abandoning trust in divine promises, and choosing our preferred detours, and if we laugh at the promises of God, we invite catastrophe, and ensure that God will have the last laugh.

    Life is full of tragedy—sickness, lost of jobs, lost of possessions, lost of health, and death. But the greatest tragedy in life is living a life apart from God.

    A look at the "Hall of Fame" of the faithful.

    Some years ago, I was in Tennessee, passing through Gatlinburg, and as I was passing through, I noticed that there were several rather unusual billboards advertising a rather unusual tourist attraction.

    Staying In Character

    It is easy to remain in the character of Christianity during Christmas -- but easy to slip our character throughout the year.

    When I was a kid, my favorite television show was Superman. Understand, this was in the 1950s, when every home had only one television set, received only 2 stations, and all shows were in black and white. Superman of my childhood was a low tech show with simple special effects. But he was ...read more

    Renewal Of Bapitsm Series

    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,591 views

    In a series on the Seven Marks of Discipleship that have been identified by the elders of Good Shepherd Church, this sermon prepares for that series as the congregation participates in a Renewal of Baptism service

    The writer of Ephesians says, “There is one baptism.” Presbyterians believe that very literally. Other churches may baptize their members many times. I know if I were to suddenly become a Southern Baptist, my baptism wouldn’t count. I’d have to be rebaptized. I know some people who every few ...read more

    Generosity does not come naturally. It takes PRACTICE.

    You can tell that it is time for the presidential campaigns. There are polls in every issue of every paper, every day. I thought I’d start this morning’s sermon with a poll.

    One of the biggest questions I’ve heard people asking about Mel Gibson’s movie is: "Wow. . . did that really happen?" A reviewer in TIME mag put it this way: "The first thing you have to decide is. . . is it based on fact or fiction?" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    WAS IT REALLY LIKE THAT? How many of you here today have seen The Passion of the Christ? How many of you left there with questions? <HANDS> This series, I’m taking some of the most common questions I’ve heard, and giving them an honest look.

    It's Not Enough To Believe

    based on 58 ratings
     | 7,815 views

    Who were the first witnesses to the resurrection? Not the women or the apostles, but the guards at the door! And yet, it didn’t change their lives at all. How many here believe in the resurrection, but it hasn’t changed your life at all?

    I think one of the most fascinating careers one could have would be that of the major television or newspaper reporter. To live a life of someone like Walter Cronkitt would be a fascinating life. To witness history unfold. To be a witness of the Normandy Invasion. To be a witness to Pearl ...read more

    Lots of reasons to be dreary. But there are even more compelling reasons to rejoice.

    Romans 5:1-5 DREARY-FREE CHRISTIANITY This past week with the warmer weather, I was finally able to clean out some of my garage. It’s not such a bad place to be when the weather is decent.

    Jesus Christ is coming again, that is certain. The midnight call may be heard at any moment. And when that call takes place we will be going home. But sadly very few Christians are thrilled about the imminence of his return. Many don’t want His return.
