    The God of Heaven who saves you wants to call you and give you a job—something worth doing. But, you cannot build without a foundation, and that foundation is the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Take your Bibles, please, and be finding the Book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah, chapter 2, and verse 11—page 783, if you have one like I have. Well, all right, the Book of Nehemiah. We’re thinking, this morning, on this particular subject: “Let Us Arise and Build”—“Let ...read more

    This message prepared & preached after the "TORNADOES" of April 27, 2011, of which our community was impacted. My prayer is that this will help us understand the tragedies.

    Understanding the Storm Job 1:1-22 * This past Wednesday our world was rocked. As the forces of nature wreaked havoc on this state, our lives were forever altered. While we might like to believe that ‘we’ll get over it’ or that ‘we’ll simply get on it’, the ...read more

  • Thorns Of Life

     | 35,795 views

    There are different kinds of vessels in the house of God. So you will do well to examine what kind of vessel you are. Let me clear one thing before we go deeper into this message: God will not accept any excuse from anyone for not being a useful vessel.

    Our message this week, is what I call “The thorns of life.” Genesis 3:17-19 says, “And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee saying, thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy ...read more

     | 3,307 views

    Jesus didn’t promise us a life without pain and suffering. In fact, it was just the opposite. He told his followers that they shouldn’t expect to get along in this world any better than He did.

    4-27-04 Title: Finding a Place of Safety Text: “And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape. But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to ...read more

     | 2,153 views

    Through daily prayers and supplications we must ask God to help us reclaim that which we might have lost along the way. As we aim to establish an internal peace with repentance ; we'll see that even some of the turmoils revolving around our children's lives start dissipating one by one.

    Our soul where a myriad of experiences continue to leave a mark on a daily basis -some great and some pretty awful -is also the venue from which we reason with things and respond to things. The greatest accomplishment a person can achieve is when he or she is able to process life's distasteful ...read more

     | 848 views

    Adam and Eve's sin brought a whole set of problems to the human race: conflict, pain, hardship, alienation from God and each other, and finally death. God could have scrapped all of creation but instead He announced a solution to the sin problem through Eve’s descendant.

    As we go through life’s hardships and difficulties and we are to be turning to Jesus but you might wonder, can Jesus really relate to what I’m going through? Let’s see what Jesus knows about the various things we go through in our lives.

    JESUS KNOWS INTRODUCTION: Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s there was a baseball/football player named Bo Jackson. In 1989/1990 he had a series of commercials where the slogan was Bo knows.

    I used this sermon as one of several in a series on Clay Pots (Earthen Vessels). This was the one I used on Father’s Day during that series.

    I recently came across a Chinese parable that eludes to our thoughts for today’s text. It’s a tale about a water-bearer and his two pots of clay. An elderly peasant had two large clay pots. One of the pots had a crack down its side to a point about half way. The other pot, perfect! Each had been ...read more
