  • An Acceptable Sacrifice Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 23, 2015
     | 6,642 views

    If you give out of love for God, you will get what you desire most. You will get God's riches in Christ.

    I once missed a great blessing. I was part of a student organization in college, and we were having a clothing drive. Our leader encouraged us to donate an article or two of clothing, but, when he did, he said, “Don’t give away something you won’t miss. Give something you really ...read more

  • The Comeback

     | 10,245 views

    God makes our desert a garden; He turns our exile into homecoming.

    MY MOTHER DIED when I was twenty-six. She was only fifty-seven. A few years before her death, she was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx. She fought it bravely, but, in time, it overtook her, and all too soon, by our accounts, she died. We had a service led by an Air Force chaplain at a local ...read more

  • With His Coming

     | 4,844 views

    Jesus became vulnerable so that we might become victorious. He put himself in harm's way to drive all harm away from us.

    THERE’S A STORY in the Bible about King Jehoshaphat and how, one day, he was given some distressing news. Messengers came, and they told him that the massive armies of three – not one or two, but three – nations were coming against him. “A great multitude,” they ...read more

  • Easter Reservations

     | 5,194 views

    Our risen Lord thrusts us into a future we’d never choose but we’d hate to lose.

    THE FAMILY I GREW UP IN was highly conflicted. You would think that, for all the fighting we did, we would have gotten good at it – or, at least, that we would have seen something constructive come out of it. But the incessant bickering never seemed to bring about change; we just grew ...read more

  • Dispelling The Darkness

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 23, 2015
     | 5,775 views

    What we’re trying to do is push back the darkness.

    So, Matthew says that, “when Jesus heard that John [the Baptist] had been arrested, he withdrew….” What does that tell us? It tells us – doesn’t it? – that there is a force of darkness at work in this world. And we know what that means, of course. It means there ...read more

  • Grace Produces

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 23, 2015
     | 2,608 views

    You will respond to God's mercies by doing what it is in your nature to do. Grace produces "fruit."

    When we first moved into our home – it’s been twenty-five years ago now – but when we first moved in, we had a peach tree growing on the north side of the house. And it produced peaches, hundreds of them! The birds loved it, and the neighbors hated it. The neighbors hated it ...read more

  • He Is The One

    Two things we need most are found in Jesus: real security and deep satisfaction.

    King Saul was a major disappointment. As you know, he was the first king of Israel, and he was everything you would want a king to be. When we first meet him in the pages of Scripture, we are told that he was “a handsome young man.” In fact, “there was not a man among the people ...read more

  • Hurting People

     | 7,156 views

    Whether you have been hurt or have hurt someone else, you seek reconciliation for the glory of God.

    In Paul’s brief correspondence with the Philippians, as he drew his letter to a close, he mentioned an issue of some importance in his mind. There were two women in the church – dear women, women who had “labored side by side” with Paul in the gospel, women “whose ...read more

  • Idol Thoughts

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 23, 2015
     | 3,614 views

    Let us determine to know God and to worship him, not as some idol devised by our own natural preferences, not as many people configure him to be, but as “the book of nature” and the Holy Book together reveal him to be.

    The two passages before us today [Acts 17:22-31 and John 14:15-21] could not be more different from one another. And yet, in some ways, they could not be more similar. In the first one, the one from Acts, we have the Apostle Paul speaking to a group of Gentile skeptics who know nothing of the ...read more

    The Word of God is powerful to accomplish all it proclaims.

    First Presbyterian Church Wichita Falls, Texas August 25, 2013 WHEN ALL IS SAID, IT’S DONE Isaac Butterworth Jeremiah 1:4-10 (NRSV) 4 Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed ...read more

  • Christmas Interruptions: Joseph Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,217 views

    Christmas interrupts the unraveling of your life. Your fears, like Joseph’s, are unfounded, and for the same reason: The child in Mary’s womb!

    You’ve got to see this first Christmas from Joseph’s point of view. I mean, his heart was full of anticipation over his recent engagement to Mary. His head was no doubt filled with images of what his life was going to be like, and he saw nothing but blue skies and smooth seas ahead. ...read more

  • Christmas News: The Angels Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
     | 3,233 views

    We need to be seized once more by heavenly realities – just as Zechariah was. We need to experience something like a shock to our smug certainties that whittle God down to a manageable size and leave us underwhelmed by the mysteries of eternity.

    Angels have fallen on hard times these days. Hardly anyone thinks about them anymore…except at Christmas, of course. But even at that, people don’t much believe in them. Although…I knew a woman – a member of this church at one time: She told me that she had actually seen an ...read more

  • The Journey Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
     | 9,347 views

    It is through Jesus that God speaks to you and me – no matter how dark the times, no matter how difficult the way, no matter how unfaithful people around us may be. God speaks to us through Jesus, and he calls us to himself just as he did Ruth.

    The book of Ruth is the story of an extended family living in a dangerous place during turbulent times. The story is told in four scenes, with a chapter devoted to each scene. Chapter 1 is about a journey, chapter 2 a day in the field, chapter 3 a night to remember, and chapter 4 a morning that ...read more

  • Wings Of Mercy Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
     | 7,193 views

    God takes us, sinners one and all – spiritual waifs, to be honest – and he “marries” himself to us. He redeems us from the estrangement sin has caused in our lives. He takes us under his wings; he covers us with his cloak. And we are restored.

    One of the characters in Kent Haruf’s novel Plainsong is Victoria, a seventeen-year-old girl who is four months pregnant. When her boyfriend finds out about her condition, he breaks up with her. And when her mother finds out, she kicks her out of the house and says to her, “You got ...read more
