    The book of Esther explains the origin of the Feast of Purim and ensures that it would be observed by all future generations of the Jewish people (Esther 9:28). It reveals Divine providence to save the Jews, explains Human responsibility, and absurdity of wickedness.

    Theme: A glad Light Text: Esther 8:15-17 Greetings: The Lord is good and his love endures forever. Introduction: The name Esther means ‘Star.’ The Persian word “star” refers to the Babylonian love goddess, Ishtar. The Hebrew name “Hadassah” (Esther 2:7) means “myrtle” (John MacArthur).

    In this passage, Solomon is acting as a teacher instructing his students about life. He concludes with his observations about the purpose of life; and in his closing remarks we find four words of wisdom that can be applied to graduates.

    Today is our Graduate Recognition, and I feel led to share from a passage in Ecclesiastes. This book is believed to have been written by Solomon, since Ecclesiastes 1:1 says that these are “the words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.” To get started, I think these words can ...read more

    If we fail to read and observe what is written in the Scripture, then we will be devoid of abundant life. We find life in the Word because the Word leads to Jesus, and it leads to spiritual freedom in Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

    I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing some verses out of Deuteronomy 28. In Deuteronomy 28:66-67, God gives a warning to His people, saying, “Your life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day and night, and have no assurance of life. In the morning you shall say, ‘Oh, ...read more

    In observance of the ’Sanctity of Life’ week, we will look into the account of creation to see what God’s word has to say regarding the value of life. Outside of God’s word all other opinions are what they are--opinionated.

    I. God Made Mankind to Represent Life (v26) God made man His image--an image is a reproduction or imitation of the form of a person or thing. God made man in His likeness--this represents His very character. He did not make the heavens in His likeness; nor the animals; nor even the angels--He ...read more

    Oswald Chambers makes a revolutionary observation about prayer. This is a detailed look of different aspects of prayers, and word studies about prayer. Lastly we consider Oswald Chamber’s comment, looking at the Scriptural connections to it.

    On the weekend we observe the 9th anniversary of 9/11, and the 8th birthday of Wildwind Church, we take a moment to reflect on the fear and hatred that are mounting in our society today, and contrast it with God's clear call to love.

    The Life That Really Matters

    These brethren from Jerusalem were strict legalists, which means they believed that the most important thing was to obey all the laws of God and to observe all the ceremonies and traditions of the Jewish church. And under grace, that’s their privilege.

    5-15-04 Title: THE LIFE THAT REALLY MATTERS Text: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20). Bible ...read more

    Baptism. Why do we observe the sacrament of believer baptism instead of infant baptism? Why do we celebrate the dedication of a child to God instead of baptizing them right then and there? We will attempt to answer these questions in this sermon.

    C.S. Lewis made an astute observation in his masterful Screwtape Letters: the devil cannot manufacture real goods or pleasures; he’s stuck with the ones God has made and for which our natures have an inclination.

    I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

    Nature is a great teacher and by observing God's creatures there is much we can learn for our Christian lives. In this message we examine the habits of spiders to gain insights for our lives. God bless you all.

    ARACHNOPHOBIA FOR SOME – HOWEVER SPIDERS ARE WONDERFUL TEACHERS I prepared this about 20 years ago, so when I use “today”, well - it was back then. Here we make applications to Christian living derived from the habits of spiders. This is an address rather than a sermon and prepared for smaller ...read more

    Exploring Exodus 3, we observe how an ordinary bush becomes a vessel for God's presence. It serves as God's dwelling place, His mouthpiece, and a site of purity and transformation. It ultimately stands as an everlasting witness to God's power and glory.

    Good morning and welcome in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Today, I want us to reflect on a simple yet powerful thought from the book of Exodus. It is this: Without God's fire, a bush is just a bush. In Exodus chapter three, we read about a regular thorn bush that caught Moses' attention ...read more
