    We see the principal of reaping and sowing played out in our lives every day. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are today eating from the harvest of the seeds we planted in the past. And while we can not change the past, we can choose to plant good

    Psalm 13 helps us to learn how to communicate with God on the deepest level. God is big enough to handle our tough questions. And He loves it when we talk to Him honestly.

    Communication between people takes place at three levels: the frivolous level, the factual level, and the feeling level. Frivolous communication takes place on the surface with the use of innocuous questions and casual clichés. How are you doing? Looks like it going to rain today? What do you do ...read more

    How do you handle what God has given you? Is it okay to buy from companies that use sweatshops or mistreat their employees? What role do Christians have in that area?

    If you have your bible, you can open them to the book of Isaiah chapter 58, verse 6, which is on p. 522 if you grabbed a bible in the lobby. Isaiah is what is called a prophet. Prophets were not popular people, most of them met untimely deaths, but prophets were the people that God used to speak ...read more

    There is not telling as to the extraordinary outcomes when the church comes together to pray. The only way we can assure in a revival, and the powerful move of the Holy Spirit is through prayer.

    We read in Acts 4:31, “When they finished praying, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God's message with boldness.”(GNB) As the believers in the early church met together for prayer there was a mighty manifestation of ...read more

    The history of Israel’s past, present, and future is given in the Book of Romans chapters 9-11. In Chapter 9 Paul explains Israel’s past election in relation to God’s sovereignty. In chapter 10 he explains Israel’s present rejection in relation to God’s

    Concerning the mystery of Israel’s blindness, Paul states: "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in" (Rom. 11:25). Why is Israel an ...read more

    Third in a series in the book of Nehemiah. This message explores the "why" (motivation) of vision, versus the "how" (process of fulfilling) the vision. Emphasizes that the "how" is for God to handle, and the "why" will keep us focused on the vision.

    (Prior to this sermon, utilized a Bible "Jeopardy" game with three volunteers from the congregation. Helped bring into focus the idea of asking the right question.) There is a great similarity between success at Jeopardy, and success in seeing the current vision for your life come into focus. To ...read more

    Believe it or not, God is not against you and me having money. He does, however, want us to handle our money His way. In doing so, we will be blessed abundantly.

    Many think of the resurrection as an event from the past that just gives us a hope of the future. It is so much more than that, and it is relevant to us in our daily lives.

    It is amazing how the unpredictable can terrify us. When things seem to be unsure, or we can’t possibly explain something, fear seems to set in. Most parents know what it is like to be terrified. Our children can come out with some of the most alarming, humiliating, or shocking things, all done ...read more
