     | 6,155 views

    Many of us are exposed to the gospel, but as the Israelites had a choice to go into the Promised Land, we have a choice whether to believe God when He says salvation is through Jesus Christ. Do you have a hard or soft heart to the Lord?

    This Sermon deals with the issue of becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus demanded more of his true followers, than to just follow for the "loaves and fishes". He demans our complete devotion.

    The requirement to worship our God can be quenched but when our pets have something to say you can’t stop them.

    Noisy Pets Luke 19:37-40 It happened when I was in High School. It swept the nation in a matter of a few days. There were shortages and waiting list. Do any of you remember the pet rock craze?

    I’m no carpenter. That’s the understatement of the year! But I understand that in carpentry there’s a term "clinching the nail". If I have it right: In rough work, a nail is driven through several boards so that the point of the nail sticks through the back. Then the workman gives a blow of the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,973 views

    God’s agenda is to give freedom to the oppressed, and He will not be stopped. But our disobedience can frustrate Him. The church needs to get on God’s agenda quickly.

    A little book called “Kids’ Letters to Pastors” provides some fertile ground this morning for us to begin thinking about getting on God’s agenda. You see, you and I know the words we are supposed to say, whether we mean them or not. But kids say what they think, without editing. And so I suspect ...read more
