    We like to do one of two things with sin - pretend it doesn't matter or pretend it is something only monsters who are nothing like us do. The reality is something more awful.... and more wonderful! A sermon for Ash Wednesday.

    Though necessary, I often find it hard to preach sermons to the women of our church in relation to their role as wives and mothers. Paul had a better idea. Much of such preaching could be done without the pastor. The aged women were to teach the younger!

    Does the word of God tell us how to handle the changing times? Yes, through principles set forth in the Bible. This message examines two directives that may at first appear to contradict one another. In reality they provide a balance.

    Many people practice counterfeiting without actually realizing what they are doing. A counterfeiter tries to make an imitation of something genuine to deceive, defraud or pretend something to be what it is not in reality. Ananias’s lie to the Holy Spirit

    Many things conspire to keep people separate, even in the church. Only God can connect us, and it is the cross that binds us. Are we living out that reality, or have we let separations disconnect us?

    When he says it, it feels both enraging and endearing. When he pronounces it, it sounds like irritation, but it also sounds like invitation.

    Christ said the demonstration of the reality of a relationship with Christ is the bond of love between believers. When the world sees true Christian love in action they will know it’s real. But the question that must be asked is “Where is the Love?”

    WHERE IS THE LOVE? JOHN 13:31-35 Introduction: Christ declared that the demonstration of the reality of a relationship with Christ is the bond of love between believers.

    How can we go through hardships in life? Learn from David: (1) Accept the reality of the valleys in life, (2) watch how we respond to them, and (3) know the resources we have.

    Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
