    prayer - Psalms 142 -

    “Cave Buster” Psalms 142 I started this with a really interesting “opener” but the further that I dug into the scripture the more I realized that the opener would not do this scripture justice. At the risk of disappointing my son who really liked the opening illustration… I instead want us to ...read more

    Task: To nudge people back to praying.

    This Christmas I traveled to Sun City Center, FL to spend time with my parents and my brother’s family. I love going to see my folks in FL. My wife and I love the beach, the warmer weather, and I always get to go fishing in the bay. I bet you have a favorite place or two as well. Don’t you? ...read more

    It’s frustrating to have family members or friends reject Jesus. Paul identifies with this hurt and (along with other pages of Scripture)helps us to discover God’s solutions, helping to turn our heart from "SOMEHOW" into "SOMEDAY"!

    Hi, thank you for looking at this sermon. I hope it helps. Please do not say the sermon did not help you just because you did not like the style or could not use the entire message for your own needs. I have discovered a few souls automatically hit the ’did not help me’ button if the message they ...read more

    Faith in action is a life of prayer, not just any old kind of prayer, but the prayer that can keep you together when your world is falling apart.

    Keeping It Together When Your World is Falling Apart Luke 18:1-8 (1) Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. (2) He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. (3) And there ...read more

    If you are down in the dumps, it may be because you have too much going in your life that takes you away from God. Do as Jesus did, slow down and pray.

    Okay. What should I do? Sometimes I get so discouraged, embittered, and apathetic that I feel like I will never get out of the bottom of the valley. I am amazed that I even managed to make it to worship this morning. This “Death Valley” seems to be never ending. The sand of bitterness blinds ...read more

    A Call To Quietnes

    Being quiet before God is as important as being busy for him.

    The Call to Quietness I have to say that I am very glad that our gospel reading today skips over the horrific story of the beheading of John the Baptist, and rather moves on chronologically from last week. We read then how Jesus sent out the twelve disciples in ministry for the first time. Today ...read more

    We need to be persistent in our prayers.

    There’s a magazine cartoon that shows a little fellow kneeling beside his bed for his bedtime prayer. He says with some measure of disgust, "Dear God, Uncle Jim still doesn’t have a job; Sis still doesn’t have a date for the social; Grandma is still feeling sick - and I’m tired of praying for ...read more
