    Can you keep from failing, from losing faith? Can you get it back if it has already failed? Can you keep it from failing? Today, we will answer these questions as we see Jesus face a man in this kind of a situation.

    FAITH THAT DOESN’T FAIL Mark 9:14-32 INTRO: At the library a couple of weeks ago, where I often go to study, I saw a car with a bumper sticker. This car was parked in the first space, so it was unmistakable – you saw it the moment you pulled into the parking lot, and it confronted you as you ...read more

    We are in a spiritual conflict. It is not a new conflict, but for some of us, it is new. The bad news is that this conflict will continue to intensify until the time of Great Tribulation- it will get worse and worse. The good news is- we are going to wi

    This is about Jesus’ baptism, and what it shows for us: an attitude of humility and submission.

    Matthew 3:1-16 – Going Under (Lengthy illustration at end by Dr. Wayne Dehoney and SermonCentral Pro.) As I mentioned last week, this year, we are looking at the life of Jesus.

    This was a Super Sunday message. Although at the last minute changed this quite a bit, I believe this will stir your thoughts. The audio will be available shortly. This also contains my LOVE presentation.

    A Fan, A Follower, or A Fraud Matthew 4:18-22 * In 2007 over 100 million people watched the Super Bowl. This afternoon that number will, quite likely, eclipse every record that has been previously established. Why is that?

     | 5,449 views

    Taking principles from the prodigal son and comparing them to our nation, we can see that our nation’s culture has been taken for granted.

    Let Us Not Forget Luke 15:11-24 * The story of the “Prodigal Son” has reached legendary status. Almost every person (believer or unbeliever) can give a general storyline. Let’s see if we can simplify it. A man had two sons. The older one was a hard working boy who understood and accepted ...read more

    Did Jesus Fail?

    Contributed by Bill Butsko on Jul 1, 2009
     | 5,115 views

    This message explains why Jesus could not perform a great work in His hometown of Nazareth.

    Text: “He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them” (Mark 6:5). If Jesus could not do any more miracles here in Nazareth He must be classified as a failure. Do you agree with that statement? If you or I try to write a book or a song and we are ...read more

    Can you imagine how different our marriages would be if every community, every church member, lived to bring glory to God? Men, if we set the example, I’m sure that “Desperate Housewives” would be devoted housewives!

    One day the Pastor and his friend from church were sitting on the Pastor’s porch, and the friend said, "Pastor, I’ve got something to tell you. I’ve never told this to a soul, it’s extremely difficult to tell you this now, but my wife and I have had a fight almost every day for the past 30 years of ...read more
