    Jesus walked on the water, but there are actually 7 miracles listed in this passage.

    We honor fathers best by recognizing the critically important work God has given them.

    Father’s Day is a strange holiday. Like Mother’s Day, it’s a civil holiday, established by a Resolution of Congress and by an annual Presidential Proclamation.

    A sermon about hearing what God has planned for your life, then living your life for that plan.

    I think all of us have graduated from “the school of hard knocks”. And since we are pretty smart people, I am sure we have learned many lessons in that school, and these lessons can make excellent testimonies – if we survive them. But there is an easier way to learn; a better way that is much ...read more

     | 64,854 views

    An honest look at the condition of the church in many places today reveals weakness, lethargy, and decline. In many places the fires of revival and renewal have dimmed, or have been greatly hindered by the encroachments of sin, the flesh and the devil.

    REPAIRING THE ALTAR OF THE LORD Study Text: 1Kings 18: 30 - 39 Introduction: - The trouble in many churches is not the Pastor or the program. The trouble is "Broken Altars" in the lives of God's people. - The purpose of an altar is: Worship; Sacrifice; Giving of Offerings; God's people gather ...read more

     | 7,444 views

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    Opening illustration: A friend told me about a neighbor who years ago spent most of his spare time planting trees. The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more
