    A fairly short sermon asking the congregation to pray for parents, to praise God for Jesus, to be open to prophesy, to be regular in prayer and to be patient.

    Luke 2: 22 to 40 This is such a lovely all-age event in the life of Jesus. We’ve got a baby (Jesus 2:21), parents (Mary and Joseph 2:22), a man of faith (Simeon 2:25), and a very prayerful and faithful widow (Anna 2:36). The whole event is a reminder to us that children are a gift from God. I was ...read more

    These two verses provide a blueprint for each of us as we seek to move toward spiritual maturity, and become like Christ. Since we are disciples of Christ, and if we are ever to become like Christ, we will need to "grow up" in these basic areas.

    Growing Up Luke 2:40, 52 As we move away from the Christmas season, we move into the uncomfortable encounters with Christ. Both Christmas and the Resurrection Season are comfortable seasons. They are seasons that emphasize grace, God’s love, and His sacrifice. But as we move into the interlude, ...read more

    Christians need to stop minding their own business and start minding our father's business.

    Stop minding your own business Luke 2:40-2:49 I was thinking about a phrase that I remember hearing people say a lot when I was in high school I guess I heard it in lots of situations. It just seems that I don’t recall hearing it as much in more recent times… “Mind your own ...read more

    You must know and do God’s will. Just knowing or just doing won’t cut it

    Note: This is written based on a message that I preached way back in 2001 so a little background here might help. I was wrestling with whether God wanted me to be a preacher or not. I prayed a while then asked my pastor for an opportunity to speak as part of a Youth Sunday service. He agreed to let ...read more

    Only Jesus could sit with the most educated men in Israel and astound them.

    The last time, I spoke of all the signs that pointed to Messiah being born when He was and where He was and that no one seemed to care, remember or just plain covered it up.
