    This sermon reflects on God’s power to harden the hearts of the Israelites, and how God wants us to respond in light of such judgment.

    November 27, 2005 Isaiah 63:16-17 , 64:1-8 You, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name. Why, O LORD, do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts so we do not revere you? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes that are your inheritance. 1 Oh, ...read more

    I looked up every reference I could find that used the words “commit”, “committed”, & “commitment” and I was surprised at what I DID’T find. I never found the Bible teaching that we should put our family first! Why?

    OPEN: Author and speaker Zig Ziggler loved golf and once took his son with him out to the golf course. His son was still relatively new to the game, so Zig was very impressed by his son’s performance on one of the par 4 holes. At the tee, the boy lifted the ball straight and true down the ...read more

    How To Love The Father More Than The World

     | 4,951 views

    The following is a list of twenty five things that often crowd out our love for the Father. Since Jesus told us to watch and pray that we enter not in to temptation. It is a good idea to know what competes for our greatest passion.

    How to Love the Father More than the World Marks of Worldliness (I John 2:15-18) What are the various ways that people subtly love the world more than we show love for our heavenly Father? Perhaps it could be summarized in the word preoccupation. Illustration: CHARLOTTE, N.C. - An 86-year-old ...read more

    One Thing I Do

    Paul had one great aim and purpose of life. To this singleness of purpose he owed his exemplary godliness and his uncommon success as a minister.

    We have here a very personal letter written by the Apostle Paul. What I mean by that is simply that Paul shares a lot of himself in this letter. He shares with us his thoughts and attitudes as he talks about his past and present circumstances and the hopes he embraces concerning his future. I ...read more

    Using Mary response to the angel to demonstrate how faith is both what we believe to be true as well as our actions.

    Last week we looked at keeping the faith in the midst of disappointments and difficult circumstances, when it seems like God is far away. This past Monday my devotions took me to Psalm 77, which was written by a man, Asaph (one of several music leaders whose job it was to sing before the Lord in ...read more

    The pivotal choice: Trust in Jesus and receive eternal life or reject Jesus and face God’s wrath.

    Life is full of choices: • Some are easy choices: what to wear, what to eat, what to watch on TV. • Some are difficult choices: where to attend university, where to work, when to retire. • All of you had a choice this morning: Should I go to church or not? • Some choices are easy; some are ...read more

    We Christians spend a lot of time learning how to witness. But, there comes a time when it's time to get off the bench, get in the game and use what we have learned to witness to those who are lost.

    Some years ago, I took a group to Glorieta, NM to attend a Sunday School training week. I became aware that a man by the name of Paul McClung was supposed to teach a specific witnessing strategy. Because of family connections to the McClung’s I decided I would participate in this particular ...read more
