    An excited little boy was telling his dad about what had happened to him that day. His dad said, Slow down, you’re talking too fast! His boy shot back at him, Oh, no, Dad, I’m not talking too fast. You’re just listening too slow! Are you listening?

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,932 views

    “The secret of success is in the blocking and tackling. Focus on the blocking and tackling and everything else will come along.”

    It was something I should have learned in High School football. After all, I played tackle; it would have made my experience more meaningful if I knew it then. But I didn’t. It was a lot of years after high school; when I was in business and a mentor shared it with me. “The secret of success is in ...read more

    At times it is hard not to get impatient with God. It’s hard to wait for Him to move. But such impatience can cause us to act rashly and our rashness can cost us dearly.

    OPEN: Caitlin was a 4 year old and an only child. She really wanted to have a baby sister and kept pestering her mother asking when she could have one. One morning Caitlin told her mother, "Maybe if we both prayed out loud, God would hear us." So they prayed together. As soon as they finished, ...read more

    For Prayer Breakfast given by a Francophone African church. We must respond to immigrants because God commands it, our history demands it, it serves our own best interests, and the Gospel includes it.

    Valentine Michael Smith was born on Earth, raised on Mars, and returned to Earth. He never felt fully at home in either place. But his interaction with Earth, when he returned as a young adult, transformed Earth culture and impacted many lives. His most important contribution to Earth was the ...read more

    Drinking alcohol is not wise because the end result may be like Zach and it is not wise because it will beat upon one's mind and body and because it puts the brain to sleep and because just small amounts begin to effect one in bad ways quickly and because

    INTRODUCTION 1. Please open your bibles to Proverbs 20:1. 2. Proverbs 20:1 teaches among other important lessons, that the drinking of alcohol is not wise. 3. Here is a question.

    Jesus was a teacher, a fantastic, yes PERFECT teacher. He begins by teaching his disciples the beatitudes...

    The beatitudes…part 1 – February 21, 2010 I’d like to do something a little different this morning. Today, rather than stand and preach, I would like to sit, and teach. In Jesus’ day, it was the custom for teachers in the synagogue to sit while they taught from the ...read more

    We are to neither run wild without direction, like a man running with poor eyesight, nor are we to look back at a past we cannot change, instead we are to live our life forward.

    When I was a high school kid, one of the sports I competed in was Track and Field. We had a great track team and usually won our track meets by a large margin. One of the great assets we had was in the 100 yard dash, we had the kid that was the fastest kid in the whole league. His name was Andy. As ...read more

    What should Christians be afraid of.

    What are you afraid of? Matthew 8:23-27 Being a man I hate to admit that I might be afraid of any thing. So my first reaction to talking about fear is to tap into my childhood.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,987 views

    Do we equate the things we love about our Churches with the authority of Scripture? You bet we do.

    What is the most authoritative part of the Bible? Is the New Testament the most authoritative part of the Bible? The New Testament is the New Covenant that Jesus Christ gave to us, that sure is a powerful thing. Could the Gospels be the most authoritative part of the Bible, because they are about ...read more

    "Someone" (vs 23) asks a general question but God desires personal questons... Thoughts on our walk toward the Narrow Door. Can be a very fun sermon. A call for people to have a deeper walk with God. Concluding sugestions at the end of sermon.

    In some of our previous messages I shared from: 1) Luke 13:31-35 where Jesus weeps for Jerusalem. The Pharisees have a pretense of caring for Jesus by warning Him of Herod's plans to kill Him, all while they themselves desire to do just that. We also talked about the animal imagery used in the ...read more
