    I delivered this eulogy in 2014 at the memorial service of my nieces baby boy who died a few days after birth. Thought I’d share it. I hope it blesses you.

But first, let’s deal with what some people believe are the reasons why we are here today. During times like these, I’ve heard ministers say “God needed another ...read more

     | 5,129 views

    With all the thoughts concering marriage, there might be some who question if marriage is still a gift from God. Take another look at God's institution of marriage and the blessings that God intends to give through it.

    “Where do I even start?” That was the question that ran through my mind as I started to write this sermon. Having spent time studying Genesis 2 which you heard as our first lesson for this morning, I looked at the computer screen and thought, where do I even start?

    If we listen to God and the Lost, we'll be able to discern how to share the gospel and help people respond in faith. Check out these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    I’m going to do something different this morning as we get started. Normally, we read the scripture that is listed up on the screen as we get started, but today I want to read from Colossians 4:2,5-6 and then we’ll focus on the passage in Acts. As I read this, file it in the back of your mind ...read more

    The Word of God is living & powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul & spirit, joints & marrow, & is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    I was watching TV the other night when a commercial came on. The narrator said these words, "We all know words have power." That got my attention. I heard that and I couldn't help wonder to myself, "Do we really?" Do we really know how powerful our words can be? Do we know ...read more

    This message is based on the parable of the persistent widow. It’s a call to prayer. It was written as the Iraqi crisis completed the first week. It concludes with directives on how to pray for our troops and our nation.

    Sometimes, even faithful people can experience heartache to the point of losing hope. God knows what we're going through and He has a plan for us all.

    Opening and Introduction In our text today, Paul has a summary of one of his travels, and how it affected him. There was a time when things were so bad, that he lost all hope, and despaired of life itself. Despair is one of those words we don’t use every day. We talk about feeling down, sad, or ...read more
