    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.

    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!

    This psalm shows us how we can overcome our despair through faith in God.

    How Long O Lord Psalm 13 “How long O Lord?” Four times in this brief psalm, David makes this plaintive cry. “How long O Lord?” This psalm was, no doubt, written during a low point in David’s life.
