     | 9,578 views

    We all want to know why we suffer.

    Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind: "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall declare to me. Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who ...read more

    Trials and persecutions notwithstanding, Paul keeps the focus on rejoicing both in his life and in the church.

    REJOICING ALWAYS “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” Philippians 4:4 In his letter to the church at Philippi, Paul referred to “rejoice”, “rejoiced” or “rejoicing” ten times. The church had much that tended to discourage it. It was not an affluent congregation. It was ...read more

    examine the cry form the cross "I thirst"

    John 19:28 "I THIRST." These words were spoken by the suffering Saviour a little before he bowed his head and gave up the spirit. "I thirst." What a text for a sermon! A short one it is true, yet how comprehensive, how expressive, and how tragic! The Maker of heaven and earth with parched ...read more

     | 3,005 views

    In a predominantly Gentile church, it’s easy to forget how important Jesus’ jewishness is to his mission as savior and Lord. This message explores his Jewish roots and shows how God’s purposes are fulfilled by our very Jewish messiah. Special emphasis on

    One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

    The Mouth of Christ Deuteronomy 8:1-10 Luke 4:1-4 March 19, 2006 One of the things that I have learned over the years of being a pastor is that some of the most important committee work of the church doesn’t occur in meetings.

    When our ears are opened to the thngs that Christ heard, we are enabled to come to complete trust and fatih in God.

    The Ears of Christ Psalm 54:1-2 March 26, 2006 I am not a great fan of Dr. James Dobson because I have some pretty significant differences of opinion with him about theology, biblical interpretation, and public policy. Yet he has done some very important work in the areas of family relationships ...read more

    Fellowship, Joy & Forgiveness Written by the Apostle John, the book of 1 John was written to encourage believers in the truths of the humanity and deity of Jesus Christ.

     | 3,596 views

    In all seasons of the year, we need vision correction. We are too often farsighted, or shortsighted, or just plain blind to the reality of God’s kingdom.

    The Eyes of Christ Isaiah 9:1-2, 6-7 April 2, 2006 There were two Marines who boarded a train together, one a young man not too long out of recruit training and the other, his commanding officer. They sat across the aisle from a pretty young woman and her grandmother. It was evident that the ...read more

    In this message we notice Daniel’s second response to a crisis. (His first response was in Daniel 2:1-18.) Daniel responded to the crisis in a way that sets him apart as a man worthy of imitation.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,071 views

    The author of Hebrews takes Melchizedek, a shadowy figure, and shows that he was a prototype of the Lord Jesus Christ - the true king of Righteousness

    Introduction If I asked you to name the most important people in the Old Testament I doubt that Melchizedek would be on your list, much less at the top. He appeared once, in Genesis 14 and he was referred once more, in Psalm 110. You could hardly call this “top billing,” but the Holy Spirit reached ...read more
