    God, our Heavenly Father, commands that His children are to love one another deeply.

    INTRODUCTION: The Difference between Mediocrity & Greatness in the Church 1. Just before Jesus told His disciples that the world would hate them (John 15:18—“If the world hates you, keep in mind it hated me first”), He commanded them to “love one another just as He had loved them. The Apostle Peter ...read more

    Where Is God When I'm Sighing With Despair

    A look at David and the sighing that he lifts up because of his difficult circumstance.

    WORST WEEK EVER: When is God when I’m sighing with despair? - Psalm 5:1. - Most of us have faced times when problems and difficulties and struggles leave us with little more than a heart-heavy sigh. - It’s almost like the latest blow knocks the wind out of us yet again as we exhale a sigh of ...read more

    Measure Up

    God asks us to help build His ONE church - and how we measure things can make all the difference in how the local church turns out. What measuring stick does God want us to use in making the right measurements?

    (This sermon was preached at our annual “Unity” service, where we bring our English, Spanish, and Burmese churches together for one big worship service. On this occasion, we ordained one Hispanic man to the preaching ministry and another as an Elder for the Hispanic church). OPEN: Years ago I ...read more

    Thumbs Up!

    Most of us live in fear, either of God, man, or life itself. The verdict on our life is that God is not mad at us...we can live "thumbs up".

    May 5, 2002 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8.1 (KJV) I read a really wonderful statement by J. Vernon McGee about this chapter of the Bible: We enter this chapter with no condemnation, we close ...read more

    How do I "sign up" for God’s Army?

    OPEN: Three military recruiters showed up to address high school seniors. Each recruiter - representing the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps - was to have fifteen minutes. But the Army and Navy recruiters got carried away, and so when it came time for the Marine to speak, he had just two minutes. ...read more

    How can a sinful people live in intimate daily communion with a Holy God?

    Leviticus is probably one of the most difficult books in the Bible. The material in it ranges from unpleasant to incomprehensible and back again, with one or two flashes of clarity and simplicity almost as if to catch us off our guard. If it hadn’t been for the fact that I promised to preach on one ...read more

    Clean Hands And Pure Hearts Series

     | 15,238 views

    What kind of people will be allowed to enter heaven? Those whose hearts are right with God! Those who have been changed on the inside by their encounters with the living God! Those whose lives reflect the character of Jesus!

    Clean Hands and Pure Hearts Context: Jesus has just warned of false teachers/prophets whose hearts would be revealed by the fruit in their lives. He spoke about the inward life as opposed to outward appearance. 1 Samuel 16:7: “The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look ...read more

    A High-Way For Our God

    These verses point out the preparations the church must make for the Kingdom if we want to see the Lord move among us in a time of power and glory. God’s “High Way” always stands in contradiction to the World’s “Low Way.”

    Isaiah 40:3-5 A High Way For Our God June 23, 2024 Isaiah is writing about the coming of the Messiah. These verses were partially fulfilled through the ministry of John the Baptist. Matthew 3:3 says In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, "Repent, ...read more

    Three things to help us get to a higher level in our walk with God. Included in this sermon is a kid's sermon I did before the adult sermon.

    Kids Sermon So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him. 1 Kings 19:19 NKJV Elijah needed a replacement and God sent him to a young man named ...read more

     | 14,047 views

    One of the problems in too many churches is the issue of "Whose church is this?" The answer to that question is summed up in this simple phrase: "The Lord Adds to His Church." What can that mean to us and how can it change how the church functions?

    OPEN: How many people were baptized into Christ at Pentecost? (about 3000 souls) That story in Acts has inspired many churches, evangelists, missionaries and 1000s of others to attempt to reach as many as they can to bring more and more people to Christ. One such church was one from New Jersey ...read more

    We will see Joseph and Pharaoh delivered by the mighty hand of God. God was needed to interpret the dream of Pharaoh--who was a God in Egypt. Who do you go to when you need to be delivered? This gives us the perfect direction and our only source of del

    Waking Up

     | 9,730 views

    Three great awakenings: 1. Awakening from spiritual death. 2. Awakening from spiritual dullness. 3. Awakening from spiritual deafness.

    For a long time I knew that the Christian life was a matter of having a relationship with God, but I also often thought of it as a list of rules to be kept. I wasn’t sure how to maintain a relationship with God, but it was clear to me what it meant to keep the rules. If I did well, I was in ...read more

    Swallowed Up

     | 5,515 views

    Any time you run from God, you never go “up"; you always go “down.” God sometimes allows us to face frightening circumstances so that we will learn to trust and obey Him. It’s always best to obey the Lord right away - then we won’t be “swallowed up.”
