    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley and Pastor Tom Owen for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    Revealing the Unknown God Acts 17:16-34 We’ve watched Paul and his partners, as they left Jerusalem to begin the journey to the utter most parts of the world and everywhere they went people got saved and in each city a church was established, even though Paul and his team met resistance in ...read more

    God keeps His promises, even when they don’t make sense.

    It’s a new year, so it’s time for people to start making new year’s resolutions! A resolution is just a promise you make to yourself in order to improve yourself. Many people make resolutions like promising to exercise, or eat better, or study harder in school, that sort of thing. ...read more

    Excellence January 10, 2016 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 When I was in seminary I had a professor who taught Pastoral Care and Counseling classes.

    The story of Edom can become our story and their stumbling blocks within can become ours

    “Stumbling Blocks to God” Obadiah 1:1-21 An old American Indian tale recounts the story of a chief who was telling a gathering of young braves about the struggle within. "It is like two Stumbling Blocks s fighting inside of us," the chief told them. "There is one good dog who wants to ...read more

    Every pastor hears excuses. But some of the excuses he hears are better than the others.

    Illus: One lady gave her excuse for why she does not attend church. She said, "I don't go to church, and this is my reason: • If I go some of the time, it makes me want to go all the time. • And since I can't go all the time, it makes me feel guilty when I miss some of the time. • ...read more

    Jesus confronted a man who had been ill for thirty-eighty years, and asked him if he desired to be healed. Jesus revealed that some people are not healed because they don’t want to be healed, or they lack the faith to be healed.

    A Kansas man by the last name of Florence told a story about his daughter who was suffering from an illness. Mr. Florence said, “My daughter, suffering from anorexia and bulimia, was undergoing treatment at Baptist Medical Center in Kansas City.

    When a man is lost in the desert, he may experience a mirage. That is, he may look out over the sands, and in the distance see what appears to be a lake, shimmering in the sun.

    His goal is to get to the lake and obtain water to satisfy his thirst. As he travels toward the “lake”, the lake seems to maintain it’s distance, or at some point just disappears. IT WAS A MIRAGE! Such an experience only brings disappointment and tragedy to the individual who believes the mirage is ...read more

    Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age.

    Even some preachers in their sermon preparation choose to preach out of the New Testament, because they feel that the New Testament is more applicable to today’s congregations. While much of the Old Testament did deal with Israel and the ceremonial laws that were given to them, a great deal of ...read more

    Each winter we seem to be plagued with dreadful viruses that make us wonder about two things:

    (1) Americans cannot help but wonder about what the world considers to be the greatest health care, yet it cannot even cure the common cold. Often it seems to us the world’s greatest health care is no more than the world’s greatest racket. We are told that in America we have the best health ...read more

    Folks have different ideas about men and women in the ministry. They are referred to as “People of the Cloth.”

    Illus: The phrase, “People of the Cloth”, reminds me of the pastor of a conservative small-town congregation. He received the gift of a white suit from a friend, but he was a bit reluctant to wear it. Since it was so attractive and a perfect fit, he decided to put it on one warm Sunday. As he was ...read more

    It doesn't matter how bad things might seem, Just Hold On

    I wonder if there is anyone here that ever seems like bad things are always happening to them. It seems like that you are always getting the short end of things. However, after going through all of your trails what you have learned is that through it all God is always right there with us, getting ...read more

    Nehemiah’s experience is really intense and few people are ever called to be leaders like Nehemiah but his experience speaks to our experiences and our desire to make our mark.

    Preaching From Philippians #5

     | 1,970 views

    This little passage of scripture is loaded with wonderful teachings about the Lord Jesus Christ. Some believe it is one of the greatest passages in the Bible concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

    It gives us a picture of the humility of Christ like we have never seen before. If the church today is ever going to accomplish anything for the Lord, we are going to have to know and possess the humility of Christ. Illus: Some of the New Testament Christians caught this vision. The attitude of ...read more

    When trying to start a new church, we often think we should send church planters to the largest populated areas. However, both John the Baptist and Jesus preached in the wilderness, and people came to them where they were!

    I have entitled our message for this evening, “God Abides in Small Places.” Abide means, to dwell and to continue in a place. The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more

    We should and can ask God for all we need

    We hardly need encouragement to ask for things. From birth to death from cradle to crypt our wants and needs drive us to obtain what we want or need. Some mistakenly think that we should not ask for things for ourselves because “it isn’t spiritual” (whatever that means). But hear this: * “Ask, ...read more
