Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:15
Denomination: Assembly Of God
Christmas is a time of giving, and it means that many of us need to think about what kind of gifts we plan to give to those we love.
Why? We know that while a gift can bring joy to some, it can also bring sadness to others. For example, men have come to realize there are some things you do not buy for your wife on her birthday or at Christmas. Men who have been married for a long period of time have learned some things. • ...read more
Scripture: Luke 2:11-19
As I stated earlier, when a preacher preaches on the resurrection of Christ he is preaching on the most important topic of the Bible.
That statement was the truth when I said it and it is the truth now! I vehemently want to state again, it is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible. As we focus in on this most important topic again today, with all the Easter traditions we have in this country ...read more

Thanksgiving Holiday: This message looks at two thanksgiving feasts that the Israelites were commanded to observe each year, in remembrance of God bringing them through their hardships in Egypt and the wilderness wanderings.
Many people think of Thanksgiving as a wonderful time of enjoying a long weekend, spending quality time with friends and family, and eating a great home-cooked meal with all the “fixings.” Perhaps some people view it as the start of the Christmas “holiday” season, with an opportunity to shop for ...read more
Scripture: Deuteronomy 16:9-15
Thanksgiving Holiday: "In latter times some will depart from the faith . . . commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving" (1 Timothy 4:1-2). We must be thankful for everything God has provided!
I’ve entitled our message for this morning “Just Be Thankful.” If I were to subtitle this sermon, it would be “Learning Contentment in Tofurkey Times.” Right now you’re probably thinking I’m crazy, or perhaps you’re stumped wondering what tofurkey is! Hang on, and a little later in the message I ...read more
Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:1-5
One thing that gets us upset, is when we have things all planned out and someone comes along and ruins our plans.
For example, suppose you had plans for Saturday. You were going to take the family to the lake, and have a nice family picnic. You had all the details worked out, and then the boss man comes up to you on Friday, before you leave to go home and says, “I hate to do this to you, I know you had plans ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25
It is a blessing for us to be able to come to church and hear the gospel preached over and over again. Why?
Because of two reasons: (1) It is a blessing, when you consider the fact that some have never heard the gospel. We are blessed to have heard it preached over and over again. (2) Another reason is because the more we can hear something, the more we receive from it. For example, it is ...read more
