    Do we insist that Jesus meet certain demands of ours before we follow Him, or is it enough that He is the Son of God and worthy of our allegiance?

    Not A Fan : is Jesus Enough? Part 6 February 11th Psalm 27:4-14 John 6:60-69 Some of the ideas in this sermon came from Kyle Idleman’s series Fan or Follower which we did at our church. We are coming to the end of our series Not A Fan. We have looked at the topics of 1) Fan or Follower, 2) ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of gathering as a church community to encourage, support, and strengthen one another in love and faith as we follow Christ.

    There’s a sacred sweetness in the sound of gathered voices. A familiar face across the aisle. A hug that lingers just a moment longer than usual. Coffee cups, creaky pews, and kind words. It all whispers a truth our souls know well: we are meant to be together. Life presses in with long weeks and ...read more

    Is there a formula for utmost motivation and passion? Who will create the formula? Who should be responsible in stirring the motivation and passion of a person?

    Is there a formula for utmost motivation and passion? Who will create the formula? Who should be responsible in stirring the motivation and passion of a person?

    In these verses Paul points out principles found in the Word of God as well as those drawn from experience to show why and how we are to give.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: L. Kraft, head of the Kraft Cheese Corp., who had given approximately 25% of his enormous income to Christian causes for many years, said, “The only investment I ever made which has paid consistently increasing dividends is the money I have given to the Lord.” (W. A. ...read more

    The Word of God says that all things work together for good, but how do they work. Are we tired of bearing the burden of all things?

    The Working of All Things Romans 8:24-28; 8:35-38 • “All Things” aren’t always good things o Yet “all Things” is something that we must go through • I would be a fool tonight if I stood here to say you would not go through the burdens and trials of them ...read more

    God has given us Himself in Christ. As Christians, we are called to offer ourselves. We are to be a gift to God and a gift for others.

    We are catching into this spirit of giving at Christmas - the world says it’s the season of giving. • And it means of buying too, because without buying there won’t be any giving. • You see that all around you. When I opened my mailbox a few days ago after my trip, it was jam-packed with mails. ...read more

    We owe our nation our support, but we owe God our wholehearted devotion.

    As you all know, our nation is at war. We’ve been expecting it to come for several weeks, but this week it finally came. And whenever war comes, it comes as a tragedy for all involved. And the dilemma for me as a pastor is what to preach about today. I’m sure many pastors will be interrupting ...read more

    Ash Wednesday (B). Too often we focus on our outward behavior, our sins. But the root of our problem is not sins, but sin, our sinful nature. Joel urges us to "Turn to God and live."

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Give up giving up” What are you giving up for Lent? Anything? Some people give up something for lent. Not with the purpose of earning ...read more

    Maybe it is time to go past the tithe and the concept of grace giving to giving till it hurts.

    Luke 21:1-6 Proposition: You must give to it hurts! From time to time there arises a debate over giving a tithe or give as grace encourages you to give. I believe the tithe is the minimum so if by grace you can and want to give ninety percent like R. G. LeTourneau go right ahead, ...read more

    A group wanted Paul to justify and help them pick and choose who they felt had Proper and Improper motives when it came to Preaching the Word of God. Paul redirected their focus and rejoiced that Christ is Preached, focus not on the motive but the Word

    This sermon looks at three catalysts that God uses to transform us. I. God Uses PEOPLE To Transform Us. II. God Uses CIRCUMSTANCES To Transform Us. III. God Uses SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES To Transform Us. (Sermon 2 in this series)

    Transformed Into The Image Of Christ Let me tell you right up front - the title of this sermon may be misleading to many of you. When I use the word “Transformed” – many of you think that being tranformed into the image of Christ is something that happens to you without any effort or input on ...read more

    Compare current views of being good neighbors with that of the bible.

    1. Do you remember when neighbors knew one another? When they might sit on their front porches and talk? When they invited one another over for meals or games? 2. Things have really changed, haven’t they? 3. The Boston Globe ran this story some time back: It can never be said that Adele Gaboury’s ...read more

    In today’s sermon, the last of four messages in the series on guidelines for grace-oriented giving, we see the underlying principle of all giving as well as five benefits of grace-oriented giving.
