    What did Jesus mean when He spoke of all things being possible in prayer if only we have faith?

    A CRY FROM OUR HEART: “Why wasn’t my prayer answered?” - Mark 9:17-18. - We look at our situation, whatever it may be, and wonder why our prayer wasn’t answered. - We really wanted that job, but we didn’t get it. - We really wanted to get pregnant this month, but it didn’t happen. - We really ...read more

    Christians claim that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God... but what does that really mean?

    Have you ever come out with the right answer by mistake? I mean, you had no idea it was right… no way you could tell somebody how you got the answer… no explanation… maybe it was just a guess, but it turned out to be right nonetheless? You’re as surprised as anyone? That is sort of where Peter ...read more

    As Paul uses a farming analogy, what do we need to be doing to see the harvest and what should we anticipate God to be doing?

    - farming analogy here. God’s Part: - two verbs in this passage that say what God does. 1. God is the One who provides the opportunity. - v. 5b - “even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.” 2. God is the One who brings the growth. - vv. 6, 7. - Matthew 16:18. Our Part: 1. I am a ...read more

    How do we please God? By regularly examining our motives and priorities against God’s standards.

    Recently someone in our congregation shared a photocopy of an article from the May 13, 1955 (that’s right, 1955) issue of Housekeeping Monthly entitled The Good Wife’s Guide that feature tips on how to please their husbands when they come home from work. Here are some excerpts: • Have dinner ...read more

    We please God when we follow God’s plan of salvation

    Last week I spoke of pleasing God and indicated that for some the word pleasing is a negative term due to life experiences. As I prepared for this morning, I determined to define the phrase pleasing God before we go further into this series because sometimes the same phrase or word has a different ...read more

    We please God when we read, believe, understand, and practice what the Bible says.

    Mark Twain once said, “Never learn to do anything. If you don’t learn, you will always find someone else to do it for you.” This week has been a week of learning for every single one of us. I spent parts of four days at a seminar in Indianapolis and by the second full day had a headache from the ...read more

    We please God as we allow God to make us “new creatures in Christ.”

    A few weeks ago I said, “We are always learning – formally and informally. We never stop learning something each and every day of our lives.” A key part of learning is thinking. One of the things that we do when we think is to create opinions about people, places, events, and even ourselves. We ...read more

    We please God by following the Holy Spirit and allowing the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out.

    Have you ever tasted or smelled chlorine? It’s that wonderful smell we smell when we get near a swimming pool. It is designed to keep bacteria from growing in the pool and making us sick. Those with pools know how important it is to get the right balance in the water between too much chlorine and ...read more

    We please God when we do our part in fulfilling the Great Commission.

    This morning I begin with what might be to some of us a loaded question that I am asking for you to verbally respond to: When you hear the words missionary or missions what do you think of? (Allow for responses) Thanks for your responses. Now can I ask you to think about the following statement ...read more

    We please God as we live in peace and harmony with each other.

    This morning I again begin with a question that I would like three volunteers to answer, “What has been the most peaceful and relaxing vacation or day away from home that you have ever had and why?” I wasn’t sure what we were going to hear this morning but I was fairly sure that “peace and ...read more

    Sermon 2 of a New Year’s series based on Wilkinson’s book Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs

    Now, I have no doubt that some of you have looked at the title of my sermon printed in the bulletin and wondered, “What in the world are you up to this morning, Pastor Jim?” Well, we are going to hear a word that begins with “s” quite a bit this morning and I thought to myself on Monday when I ...read more

    Sermon 3 of a New Year’s series based on Wilkinson’s book Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs.

    One of the things about starting a new sermon series is that I am never sure how it is going to develop regarding content (it must be Biblical of course) and structure (especially as it relates to application). Last week I said to you that I wanted this series to be practical and helpful to you ...read more

    Sermon 4 of a New Year’s series based on Wilkinson’s book Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs.

    Several years ago, I read a case study in a book whose title I cannot remember so I will summarize from a copy of the case study that I still have in my possession.

     | 3,520 views

    This message looks at some of the excuses that Pharaoh used to justify not obeying God. How many of these do we use?

    Seven Steps Of Bargaining With God: - these are the true and only 7 steps, but they are instructive. 1. “Absolutely not.” - Exodus 5:2, 4, 6-9. - don’t even want to think about or talk about God. 2. “I can make it without God.” - Exodus 7:11, 22, 24. - thinking some of God, but convinced ...read more
