    Our involvement in church is no game. It has eternal consequences.

    When it comes to games, I don’t believe there is a more avid game player than my wife. She loves to play games. We have a card game that we like to play called "hand and foot." I like that one, but my wife likes ’em all. When we were first married, the first Christmas, her folks went to New ...read more

     | 5,973 views

    When we are called by God to any task, we often look at our resources and abilities and we discount God’s resources and abilities. Whenever God calls we must look to Him for the resources and abilities to accomplish what He has asked.

    Do you ever feel inadequate? Do you ever feel that maybe you are inferior? A man paid a visit to his local psychologist. When the doctor asked him what had prompted the visit, the man said, “I’m suffering from an inferiority complex.” Over the next few weeks, the psychologist put his new patient ...read more

    We treat God as though He were not present. Jesus shows us how to get real with God by admitting His feelings, by telling what He wanted, and by enlisting His friends in prayer, however inadequate. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    We are not going to debate this morning whether there is or is not a God. That’s settled, I would think, in this room. The issue is not whether God is real, but whether we know how to get real with God. Let me play out a little scene with you. Picture a home in which there is a parent and a ...read more

    This is my fourth sermon in the series and looks at how we are to be productive as we act as God's kingdom here.

    It seems strange to mix the sacred with the everyday, to describe the eternal with the ordinary, the infinite with the finite. And yet that is exactly what Jesus did when looking for a way to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven, a treasure in a field, a merchant looking for a pearl the tiniest of ...read more
