    Purposeful ownership is reflected in conscious obedience, investing in the eternal, not the temporary and brings eternal fulfillment.

    “Purposeful Ownership” May 1, 2005 Intro: Today we are going to begin a series of talks dealing with living a life that matters.

    Not all gifts bring God delight. What could possibly make it so that God would not take pleasure in what I try to do for Him?

    OPEN: (I went up on podium with t-shirt and tie that my two children had bought me for my birthday) A week ago last Wednesday was my birthday.

    A Wandering Desire

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Feb 20, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,278 views

    We like to think of God’s blessings as being rewards for good behavior. That is not always the case. In many cases they are given so that we can benefit the kingdom of God, whether through giving to Him or to others and so strengthening other believers.

    A Wandering Desire Ecclesiastes 2:10 Ecclesiastes takes us on a journey through Solomon’s life and pursuits. A survey of Solomon’s life shows us that he tried many things in his life. These pursuits are discussed in the historical books of 1 Kings, 2 Chronicles and Ecclesiastes. In the ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 21,184 views

    A different message on JOY (the theme of the third week of Advent) that focuses on joy that comes from serving God.

    It’s the 3rd week of Advent – have you been keeping up at home? I hope so. Today’s topic is JOY. Just as in the past weeks with peace and hope, JOY is a huge subject that we will barely scratch the surface of today. But I want to use a great story from John 4 to show you one way that Jesus said you ...read more

    Exposing the myths of Christmas in a lighthearted way

    As you can see from the title of the sermon this morning, I’m going to attempt to overturn much of what you believed to be true about Christmas. Over the last several years I’ve become convinced that God created me to combat conventional wisdom. Why? Most of the time conventional wisdom is just ...read more

    This sermon reminds us of the importance of confessing our sins to God and to each other.

    Last week we looked at the message that was given to the women who came to the empty tomb after Jesus had risen from the dead. We looked at the implications of the empty tomb, the fulfilled promises, and the command to go and tell. Today, I want to continue the conversation about the implications ...read more

     | 4,657 views

    This is an overview of the gospel of Mark, with particular emphasis upon Jesus’ work in Mark, Peter and others. It shows that fears and failing need not be fatal, and that redemption and restoration are central to God’s plan.

    The Servant King Text: Mark 10:45 Introduction: When I was not long saved, my wife, who was no relation at the time, gave me a little book by John Blanchard called, “Read, Mark, Learn.” by John Blanchard.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,083 views

    The Bible gives us understanding of human life and relationships, it equips us for effectiveness, and it is the standard by which a church becomes great.

    Why do we prefer to stumble along and do a job halfway, when, with just a little effort, we could do it well? Why is it that we will take a stab at something we don’t know how to do, .we will fool with it, we will mess with it, but, if it takes some study to learn to do it right, we’re not ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,708 views

    We must work hard to tell others about God then we will reap our reward in Heaven.

    The Harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. This is a powerful piece of scripture that just seemed to jump out of the page at us. To me it speaks volumes. To me it says there is a lot of work to be done but not many of us wanting to do it. When I was a young lad on our family farm the ...read more

    We don’t have to spruce the Gospel up.... Our job is to simply tell the story as clearly as possible – the power resides in the Gospel, not in our eloquence.
