    God wants Christians off of the couch and into the trenches, working in the Kingdom of God. This sermon is a little different from most that I preach but it does make the point.

    FIRST CHURCH OF THE COUCH POTATO by Pastor Jim May 1 Peter 2:2-3, "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious." Nothing is more precious in the eyes of a young couple than a newborn baby. It is the same ...read more

    Considering Worship from a truthful point of view

    It’s not so hard to fool your sense of touch. Most of us are pretty confident in our body ownership. We see appendages emerging from our shoulders and think: These are my arms.

    A sermon on how we deny Christ when we don’t lean on him

    Denying Jesus Luke 22:54-62 Peter was “the Rock”. He was sure that he would never forsake Jesus. That when ever the going got tough he would be there.

    Understanding how to obtain the blessings of suffering as Christians.

    WE MUST THROUGH MANY TRIBULATIONS... What is tribulation, but that very influence that brings us nearer to the heart of God than prayers or hymns?

    The Promise of Advent. We have established that there is a need for Advent & now flowing out of that need let’s reflect on the promise that God made of the advent of Christ in order to meet that need.

Historically, Advent has been a time for Christians to reflect on the meaning of the coming of Christ. And that is what I am trying to help us do over these 4 Sundays of Advent.
