    This sermon explores the concept of self-control, a fruit of the Spirit. It provides a roadmap to gaining more self-control, starting with acknowledging our problems, leaving the past behind, mastering our emotions, believing in our capacity for change, avoiding temptation, and relying on Christ's power.

We often wonder why we can't lose weight, keep our house clean, or break bad habits. The answer is that we lack self-control. Our biggest ...read more

    Isaiah invites us to look back on a year of God’s grace drawing to a close and to look ahead to another year of God’s grace that is just beginning.

    In the ancient calendar used by the Romans, from which our calendar was created, the name of each month had a meaning. For example the month of February was so named because that was the time of the year for a feast called Februa. Some of the months were named for the false gods that the Romans ...read more

    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

    Does the Scripture require that America "turn the other cheek" following the attacks of 9/11, or do we have the right to respond militarily?

But when her minister preached on "turning the other cheek," the boys gave him their undivided attention. “No matter what others do to us,” he said, “we ...read more

    Be careful what lines you cross and whose box you jump into.

    Drawing Lines and Little Boxes Recently I was described as one who draws lines all through their sermons.

    Paul tells his firends at Philippi that they are partners with him in the Fellowship of the gospel as it is expressed in Thanksgiving, Prayer, Love and Service.

    FELLOWSHIP IN THE GOSPEL There’s a key phrase in the opening verses of Paul’s Letter to the Philippians: in verse 5 of the Authorised Version he refers to "Fellowship in the Gospel". I wonder what comes to mind on hearing these words? Money isn’t the only thing that can be devalued. Words, too, ...read more
