    All Things New: Even Me

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 28, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,316 views

    Interactive sermon, asking the people to identify what old things God is taking away, what new things He is leading us toward, what evidence there is of His work in the world and the church, and to what we will commit in prayer for 2009.

    You would have to be obtuse indeed not to notice that the Bible is all about making old things new. The early pages of Genesis tell the story of our expulsion from the garden of delights because of our disobedience, and we discover how it so pained the heart of God for us to ignore Him that He ...read more

    In college one of the jobs I had was working in a medical file warehouse. Talk about mundane, boring, monotonous.

    For the anniversary of the Lai Baptist Church of Gaithersburg, a Burmese congregation. You came as strangers, but God has made you His own. Now we American Christians, who have strayed from what we once were, need your passion among us.

    Sometimes people of differing cultures fail to understand one another. Sometimes people with differing backgrounds cannot grasp what others are all about. So they end up hurting one another, when, really, they need one another. If you do not understand your neighbor, and if your neighbor is ...read more

It had rained that entire day and the children couldn’t go out for recess, so they got more and more restless and hyperactive as the day wore on. The teacher couldn’t wait for the bell to ring ...read more
