In this account of Mary meeting Gabriel we discover that there are at least three benefits we receive from God this side of heaven. They are, knowing that we are PRECIOUS to him, a clear PURPOSE for living, and POWER to grow.

based on 4 ratings

| 7,478 views

Holiness is the gift of an identity, appearing to be too good to be true, but received by accepting forgiveness.

Today’s message is framed by incidents provided by two church members. I will not be naming the players, but they have given me both the beginning and the ending of this message on holiness. The beginning: a few days ago one of you told me that you came to worship each Sunday so that you could ...read more

Over time, our lives tend to fill up with the clutter and debris of sin. How to prevent that from happening, and how to conduct "spring cleaning" when it does.

All physical systems, over time, accumulate debris. It’s an unfortunate fact of life. They get cluttered, and clogged, and congested, and that hinders the operation of the system. Let me give you some random examples. As we age, plaque tends to build up in our veins and arteries, which gradually ...read more

Enoch was taken because he walked with God by faith. This makes him a type of the raptured church.

“Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” One thing the Christian must get very ...read more

Several Saturday nights ago I just was not satisfied with my preaching preparation.

Dissatisfaction Or Fulfillment? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 2, 2003

based on 41 ratings

| 6,253 views

Like Judas, despite all we have, we feel dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction comes from too small a vision of where our lives must go or depending on others to give us meaning. A relationship with Jesus gives us redemption and release.

Willy Loman is the central character in Arthur Miller’s play, “Death of a Salesman”. Willy had known only one thing all his life, and that was selling.
