    Does not the King of King deserve our very best? This sermon is going to review Malachi's indictment of the priests of Israel for offering lame and sick animals and conclude we are to give God our best and be blessed or worst and be cursed.

    Not much is said about self-denial and sacrifice in today's church and society, but it is central to the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ.

    Mark 8:31-38 “A Different Drummer” INTRODUCTION Selective hearing is a curious human phenomenon. We have the ability to hear only what we want to hear. Teenagers can hear the word “food,” but they have trouble hearing, “Do your homework,” or “Take ...read more

    Freedom never comes easy nor is it free. We need to remember those who paid dearly for our liberty. We must remember both the sacrifices they made and also the ultimate sacrifice that He made to set us free.

    “In Remembrance of Me” 1 Corinthians 11:24 Tomorrow is Memorial Day. In a survey taken over ten years ago, only 28% of Americans understood the true meaning of Memorial Day. The day, unfortunately, has become more about retail and picnics than understanding the importance of ...read more

    Giving all we have to God through Jesus Christ. We should give everything because it all belongs to God. And we should give gladly.

    I read an alarming statistic. Annually, Americans spend more on dog food than on church contributions. We may want to review some priorities. I also read, “It’s not how much of my money will I give to God, but how much of God’s money will I keep for myself.” The ...read more

     | 4,086 views

    In the Book of Malachi we see Israelites dishonoring the Lord by offering animals as sacrifices that they would cull out of their herds and flocks. We also see priests dishonoring the Lord by actually offering these detestable non-sacrifices. Do we offer the Lord our best or our worst?
