     | 3,673 views

    Long ago C. H. Spurgeon said that the study of God would improve, humble, and expand the mind - a thesis we will test with an examination of 1 Tim 6:13-16.

    “Who Alone Is Immortal” What better way to begin my sermon than by reading from a really good one! Here is a bit of one delivered on Jan. 7, 1855: “It has been said by someone that ‘the proper study of mankind is man.’. . . but I believe it is equally true that the proper study of God’s elect is ...read more

    Once you experience life-changing conversion, you can then put in the work to be a better person. Jesus died to make you compassionate. Jesus died to make you kind. Jesus died to make you honest

    If you were to make a list of the things you’d like to change about yourself, what would be at the top of the list? Are you addicted to food? Late-night snacking? Or is it a more serious issue?

    The story of the flood tells us that God holds the world accountable for its behavior. He is in control, but he is patient, and he rewards the righteous.

    On January 1st I told my wife that I hoped I would never hear the phrase Y2K again. I was so tired of hearing it all through 1999, only to have it go by without a glitch.

    Sixteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A; 16th Sunday , Year A-- Weeds And Wheat

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 21, 2020
     | 4,140 views

    This parable doesn’t mean that we tolerate all sorts of bad behavior. Jesus doesn’t condone weed (pun intended).

    If we ask, "why is there evil in the world?" we must also ask "why is there good in the world?" We get our answers this Sunday: Beginning with pre-history “while everybody was asleep” (Matthew 13:24-30), the weeds represent the enemies of God, who are: Satan, demons, and humans ...read more

     | 16,966 views

    In this first sermon, I establish that we must be conformed into the likeness of Jesus. Because He was a servant, we must also become servants. A resource I am basing the series on is Charles Swindoll's "Improving Your Serve."

    A. One day a woman was interviewing a prospective butler and asked him, “Are you trained to serve guests?” 1. The prospective butler replied “Yes, ma’am, I have been trained to serve guests both ways.” 2. The woman looked puzzled and asked, “What do you mean, ...read more

    A message to encourage the saints to guard their hearts...especially taking great care to watch their communication, attention, and behavior. These things, if left unchecked, can lead to drifting from the Lord.

    *(Revised: December 2010) Paul exhorts us not to rest on our laurels, but to keep improving on what we are doing as a church. (Can also be used as a "farewell" message for Pastors leaving their church)

    EXHORTATIONS ARE UNIQUE EPILOGUES THAT ANNOUNCE THE JOYS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WELL-DOING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SOUNDING THE ALARM TO WARN AGAINST GROWING CONTENT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF FRUITFUL MINISTRY.
