    A sermon about hearing what God has planned for your life, then living your life for that plan.

    I think all of us have graduated from “the school of hard knocks”. And since we are pretty smart people, I am sure we have learned many lessons in that school, and these lessons can make excellent testimonies – if we survive them. But there is an easier way to learn; a better way that is much ...read more

    We get upset and walk around focusing on those things that do not go the way we want them to. But is being unhappy what God wants for us?

    All of us want to be happy in our lives, don’t we? That might be one reason a person would go to church; to find happiness. But have you ever really thought what happiness includes? Happiness includes a feeling of peace within your heart. Happiness includes a feeling of calmness when all around ...read more

    Life is not meant to be understood, any more than God can be fully understood. But for all the days that end in “WHY?”, GOD IS GOOD!

    For All the Days that End in Why? Psalm 22:1 Let’s begin today with A short quiz: It consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional manager.

    There are three things in this verse that tell us a great deal about Noah. And in this short, little sentence I believe we can gain a deeper understanding of how we should live.

    A grandchild sitting on her grandfather’s lap listening to the Bible story of Noah’s Ark, asked "Were you in the Ark, grandpa?" He chuckled and replied, "Why, no I wasn’t." There was a pause, and the child looked up at him quizzically and asked, "Then why weren’t you drowned?" Someone once wrote ...read more

    Greatness in the eyes of the world is not the same as greatness in the eyes of God. What does it take to be great in God's eyes?

    The Road to Greatness Wednesday, March 10, 2010 By Pastor James May How does the world judge a man to be great? Often men are declared to be great if they have the ability to influence heads of state or leaders in society as Statesmen. These are often found as Leaders of Nations, peacekeepers ...read more

    May God give us all the attitude of Samuel that says, "Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening."

    Here we discover, once again, the two central elements in the way God deals with his people. Here we find God’s justice and mercy going hand in hand as he deals with a failed leader.

    Someone asked me the other day, "Why do we have to have all these stories from the Old Testament. They’re so gruesome!" Well, the reason we have to hear these stories is because they’ve been put here to tell us about God. You see, these aren’t just stories about David, or Saul, or Samuel. They’re ...read more
