    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 2, 2003
    based on 41 ratings
     | 6,245 views

    Like Judas, despite all we have, we feel dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction comes from too small a vision of where our lives must go or depending on others to give us meaning. A relationship with Jesus gives us redemption and release.

    Willy Loman is the central character in Arthur Miller’s play, “Death of a Salesman”. Willy had known only one thing all his life, and that was selling.

    Doubt, Dignity, And Discovery

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 10, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,678 views

    Often we are not credible because we do not accept others’ doubt as real, nor do we permit them to retain their dignity. We are called simply to invite them on a voyage of discovery where they will find that their hurts are healed.

    What do you do when you try to help, and those you are helping are not sure they want that help? What do you say when someone has a need, you propose an answer to that need, but they don’t believe that what you want to give will really do any good? How do you help people who are not sure they ...read more

We wonder if what we’re doing really matters to anyone. We could all use a little boost every now and then. No, not the energy drink, although ...read more

    Psalm 13, for instance, presents the prayer of a man in deep depression. I’ll bet that most, if not all of us are depressed from time-to-time. Today, we know that depression may be the result of many different factors.

     | 9,955 views

    Some folks think we have to work for our salvation. Maybe we’re saved by grace, but we stay saved by our works. Big mistake.

    Do you treat others like you would want them to treat you? We think that if people were nicer to us, we could be nicer to them, don’t we? But that’s the Problem. Jesus didn’t say, “Treat people the same way they treat you.” He said, “Treat people like you would want them to treat you.” We ...read more

     | 10,776 views

    Words matter. Proverbs gives us some advice on how to speak well.

    One of the most difficult things to do in life is to control what you say. We do a good job for a while but then in one weak moment and we can do irreparable damage.

    When Israel went "over the line," God had to pull back his protective "overwatch." We need to be certain that we are depending upon God instead of other answers.

    Students of military tactics will have recognized the two terms in my title for today’s sermon.
