    In Gideon we see a truth about EXCUSES!! What is an excuse? It is A LIE WRAPPED UP IN AN EXPLANATION and you think because you have some explanation that makes the lie less ugly and more acceptable.

    GO, in the Strength YOU have Judges 6:11-14 It is really intriguing how God writes a sermon. This sermon comes out of a discussion I had with Shawn about why God blesses some churches and not others. But then, it also comes out of a book I read about Gideon. It started out as a sermon about one ...read more

    if you really want to be something then you must become nothing..... If you want to go up in life then you must learn to come down..... If you want more of God then there must be less of you.

    “From Good to Great” John 3:22-36 Several years ago Jim Collins wrote a book titled “Good to Great.” It is the story of how effective leaders can take a business that is already doing well and take it to the next level. One of the quotes from his book is this: ...read more

    Gifts

    What do you think of when "gifts" are mentioned? Usually, when Christians think of "gifts," we think of giving 10%, or less, to the Church. How backward is that?

    Gifts What do you think of when I mention the word "gifts?" Usually, when Christians think of "gifts," we think of giving a small portion of money to the Church. Are you kidding me? Since everything is God's to begin with, how backward is that? Oh, how the sin of pride ...read more

    Greatness Through Servanthood Series

     | 3,367 views

    The Bible talks less about what makes a great leader than it does about what makes a great servant. What is it about God's leaders that requires them to be servants of others?

    Today we are putting a man's name into consideration as a future Elder. I hadn't actually planned a sermon on Eldership (the sermon series I'm preaching through is something I'm working with other preachers on) but the text seemed to be a good groundwork for understanding what ...read more

    Money is a thorny question and many of us think we are less rich than we are. "Money dysmorphia". In Luke 12:13-21 Jesus challenges us on our attitude.

    Jesus On Family Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 12, 2025
     | 435 views

    It's easy to overlook just how radical a statement Jesus makes here. He is doing nothing less than fundamentally redefining the family. What are the implications of actually living this out?

    ONE QUICK POINT BEFORE WE GET TO THE ACTUAL SERMON: The definition of a Christian is someone hearing God’s word and putting it into practice. - Luke 8:21. - Matthew 7:21, 24, 26; Matthew 12:50; John 7:17; John 14:23; John 15:10; 1 John 2:17. - Jesus says something here that is crucially ...read more

    The reason why we missed many growth opportunities to kingdom greatness is our failure to listen and obey God. James told us to be doers of God’s Word.

Humility has to do with knowing and doing God’s will. It is responding God’s call, obeying God’s Word, and giving attention to God’s promptings. So in ...read more

    James and John were angry from being rejected by Samaritan Villagers. Christ's response applies to us when we don't follow the Word.
