    This is about allowing the Lord to have his way with you.

    “May I help you?” That is a familiar greeting when we walk into a store. Anyone who has ever worked in a retail environment knows that question well.

    Many people are searching for life. They are asking, "Why am I here?" "What is life all about?" The problem is they’re searching in the wrong places. Only Jesus has the answer.

    “I’d Rather Have Jesus” John 14:1-7 A couple weeks ago I was talking to a young father and mother with a four year old in their home. He designs computer chips and chip boards in his home as an independent contractor. In our discussion I made reference to the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and ...read more

    God is speaking -- are we listening? Or are we asleep?

    In this sermon we explore the difference between works by human effort and godly works.

    Good deeds or works fall primarily into two categories: man driven works and God produced works. Man-centered religion always works to improve self in the hope that we will reach the level of salvation. Even Christians fall into this trap. Man driven works is either the attempt to become a god or ...read more

    I Can Only Imagine The song "I Can Only Imagine" by the group Mercy Me has really gotten a grip on me. I haven’t found another song on the CD that has done this for me, as it is not my normal genre of music. However, I am wearing out that track and burning up the player in my pickup truck.

    The story of the thief on the cross is one of the most powerful in all the Gospels. But it is possible to get some wrong impressions from what this teaches us.

    OPEN: A minister was talking to a professing Christian and asked him if he was active in his local Church. The man responded, "No, but the dying thief wasn’t active in a local Church and he was still accepted". The minister then asked if the man had been baptized. He said, "No, ...read more
