    A holistic examination of forgiveness and three areas where it is essential in our lives: God’s forgiveness of us, our forgiveness of others, and the importance of forgiving ourselves.

    I normally like to begin my sermons with a good story to grab your attention. Recently that has meant sharing some story from my childhood that we all laugh at.

    There are certain qualities that God looks for in those He places in His service. These qualities are illustrated for us in the account of David choosing stones from a brook with which to face the giant, Goliath.

    Stones In The Shepherd’s Scrip Text: I Sam.17: 40 Intro: The account of David the shepherd boy has always been one of my favorites.

    In this sermon, we consider the back story of the letters to the Thessalonians - the founding of the church. It's tumultuous beginning helps us to understand a bit of the environment into which the new church was planted and some of the ongoing struggles they faces.

    Jesus, before He died said: “ This cup is the New Covenant in my blood.” What is this “New Covenant?” This “covenant” or “contract” is full of fine print of terms and conditions. As we read this passage we learn several things about the contract. What do we learn?

    How many of you love to read contracts or “terms and conditions?” Most of us don’t pull out the most recent contract we have signed and read over the terms and conditions do we?

    What Is Biblical Love? How To Walk In The Way Of Love Series

    Biblical love is willing to say a hard truth to someone in love, knowing that we may lose the friendship, but loving their soul more than their companionship. That’s real love. Niceness is a joke and a sham, compared to the glory of agape love.

    Dave Simmons shared in his book about being a dad a time when he and his two kids went to a mall, and the mall had a petting zoo there. He had given each of his children, Brandon and Helen a quarter to enter, and then went to continue shopping. Soon he saw his daughter hadn’t gone in. He went to ...read more
