    Sometimes what we need to do is not try to create something better, but appreciate what already is best, as these proverbs lead us to do reflect on what is better in life.

That zeal to improve our lot pushes us to make the many improvements in technology that we have. But sometimes what we need to do is not try to ...read more

    The Israelites show up for Battle but are delayed because they allow Goliath to define the terms of battle. God's people need to get into the valley because it isn't fought on the hillside.

    Showing Up For Battle I Samuel 17 Preached on Sunday, July 29, 2012 This is one of the most difficult sermons I have ever had to preach. I thought it would be Wednesday evening’s Bible Study, but the Lord would not let me escape preaching it on Sunday morning. The story found in ...read more

    #1 in the series

    What is the one thing that we will do in heaven that we do on Earth? Preaching? disciple-making? Missions? It is worship! Worship is an end in itself, not a means to something else. Meaning, if you only worship God because you get something out of it, then it ceases to be worship because you are ...read more

     | 8,921 views

    “Judge not, lest ye be judged!” This is one of the most widely misused verses quoted among non-Christians and Christians alike. Passing judgment has a completely negative connotation to it. But there is such a big misunderstanding about this subject that

    What do you bring to the parade? What will you give Jesus today? He is passing by. He is looking your way. Will you look him in the eye, take him by the hand, and make him your King and Lord?

    The Parade John 12:12-19 Ticker-tape parades are not as common today as they once were. There was a time when our country honored our heroes and heroines with colossal spectacles.
