    Last Tuesday I heard news that a church member at Sacramento suddenly passed away. On Sunday I actually still had a chance to chat with him after my sermon.

    Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a beast of burden to be our beast of burden.

    4.5.20 Philippians 2:5-8 Indeed, let this attitude be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Though he was by nature God, he did not consider equality with God as a prize to be displayed, but he emptied himself by taking the nature of a servant.

     | 8,833 views

    In the two babies of the Christmas story, Jesus and John, we see the limitless potential of every human being for good or evil and the responsibility of parents to build Christian character.

    WHAT WILL THIS CHILD BE (The Birth of John the Baptizer) Luke 1:66 “What manner of child shall this be?” A baby can draw a crowd. The one in the cradle gets the attention. Some of the onlookers are prejudiced. They are the grandparents who know why these children are called “grand”. ...read more

    Christians are to preach Christ's peace and the hope He brings to a hopeless, despairing world.

    “Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.

    Christains all pass through valleys of despair and depression. Here are three truths that will aid the believer while he/she is in the valley.

    THE VALLEY OF BACA (Weeping) Psalms 84:1-8 Wouldn’t it be great if we never went through valleys in our Christian experience? If things were always on an even keel, or better yet, high up on the mountain slopes. While Brenda and I were in Montana, we used to drive up Beartooth Pass to a height ...read more

    Understanding the value that we have in our relationship with God

    Who am I in God? Ephesians 1:1-14 Too often we get our self-esteem and self value from other people. We get the picture of "who we are supposed to be" from society and from the media. Then we compare ourselves with others to see if we’ve "made it". We’re told that if we don’t do this, wear that, ...read more

    This sermon focuses on God the Father whom Paul says is love. We all need love to develop and be healthy. But God’s love is not the soupy, sentimental kind of love. It’s tough love.

    We all are very independent individuals. Some of our first words – perhaps even our first sentence – expressed that self-reliance. "I can do it myself." This is healthy when we’re dressing and cleaning up. It becomes unhealthy when we try to control o

     | 2,833 views

    2nd of 4 on Money. Based on 1 Timothy this series asks us to make 4 decisions about how we will treat money in our lives. This message forms the basis of our giving. A message on contentment by Ken Kersten was the source some points.

    A Losing Equation or a Winning Combination I have always enjoyed math - because it just make sense (not like grammar with all it’s exceptions) and it always adds up. People who choose to love money and use people will always end up corrupt and ruined - always. People who choose right living and ...read more

    King Ahaz was like many immature American Christians, who are lured by the world's deceptive popularity and prosperity, not knowing their decision will bring about their downfall.
