While many of the blessings Jesus speaks of appear to be contradictions, we must remember that God’s economy is much different than ours. The world views blessings based upon circumstances or material possessions. The Lord speaks of blessing in regard to our relationship with Him.
The Basis of Blessing (Part 2) Matthew 5: 3-12 Today I would like to continue our study on the passage that is commonly referred to as the Beatitudes. Remember this is a Latin term that literally means “happiness or bliss.” Our Lord uses the word blessed nine times in this discourse. He is clearly ...read more

God invites us to surrender our old ways, receive a new heart, and experience true transformation through His Spirit and renewing our minds.
Some mornings feel like reruns. Same burdens. Same battles. Same buttons being pushed by the same people. You wake up with good intentions, yet old habits hang on like heavy coats in summer. You want to change. You’ve promised to change. You’ve tried to change. Still, the mirror shows yesterday’s ...read more

God’s grace transforms weary hearts, planting hope and new beginnings, as He writes His promises within us and remembers our sins no more.
If you came in today feeling weary, worried, or worn thin, you’re in good company. The God who counts your tears also carries your cares. He has a promise with your name on it—a promise that doesn’t pile on pressure, but pours in power. When we open Jeremiah 31, we find a picture of God kneeling in ...read more

The world offers such temptation and many Christians are walking away from Jesus and toward the world, will you take a ride o ABIDE?
(All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted.) TO RIDE OR ABIDE? I am afraid that many people who have sometime in their lives made a promise to God and to Christ, have been taken for a ride. I am certain that many Christians ...read more

In considering the spiritual discipline of solitude and silence, we want to ask: 1. Why do we need solitude? 2. What are the benefits of solitude? 3. How do we move into solitude?
We seem to be obsessed with our bodies. If you believed the commercials, you would believe that you really can lose 30 pounds in ten days while eating everything you want. Or if that doesn’t work, you can buy the Reduce-EZ girdle, and lose weight just by wearing it. If that doesn’t do it, you ...read more

Scripture: Matthew 5:1-3
Trusting Jesus brings peace amid life’s storms, as He prepares a true home for us and invites us to reflect His welcoming love to others.
If you’ve ever come home on a rainy night, you know the relief of a porch light and a door that opens. Shoes squeak, coat drips, and someone says, "You’re here. Sit down. You’re safe." Isn’t it something how a house can feel like a hug? Smells of supper in the air, a chair pulled out just for you, ...read more

What do I have to give up to be sure I am in a condition to follow God?
Knowing God’s will is important. But only so far as you are willing to DO His will. I believe there is a spiritual principle that requires we be willing to do whatever God says before He is willing to say it. (NOTE: "BUT IF FROM THERE YOU SEEK THE LORD YOUR GOD, YOU WILL FIND HIM IF YOU LOOK ...read more

Ingratitude is perhaps the most frequent and one of the most grievous of all sins that a Christian can commit.
TAKE THE TIME TO GIVE THANKS While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee. As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him; and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" When He saw them, He said to them, "Go ...read more

I’m conducting a funeral and looking out over the congregation while we’re singing a familiar hymn…and noting how many of the people gathered are not singing. I’ll even say, “Let’s honor this person’s memory by singing one of his favorite hymns.” And all I get are mostly blank stares. I realize ...read more
