     | 8,575 views

    Is Jesus first in your life? Is it all about you, or all about Him? Have you lost your first love, been living for you, turned your back to Him? God looks at all of our lives, and He asks, “Is it really for me??”

    Was It Really For Me? August 31, 2008 Zech 7 Intro: One of the really healthy, but challenging, things about preaching through a book of the Bible is that I don’t get to just preach the words of encouragement and promise that make us feel good. Preaching right through a book forces us to take ...read more

    How we view Jesus Christ determines how we value Him.

    What we think about a person determines how we treat that person. When we think a person is “masungit,”[1] we feel like walking on eggshells when we are with that person. When we think a person is “mabait,”[2] we are more comfortable when we are with him. Our response to that person depends upon ...read more

    Paul asks Christians to give Thanks "always and in everything". A deeper look into the subject reveals that this is an impossibility for mankind.

    This is about the idea in Lk.19:44 - the people missed the day of God’s visitation. This sermon talks about missing it when God tries to speak to us for our own good.

It tells when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on what we call Palm Sunday, 5 days before His death on what we call Good Friday, and one week before Jesus ...read more

    This is a funeral sermon I delivered to a standing room only crowd for one the most beloved grade school teachers in our community.

    “Mabel Anderson, Lamb of God” It seems to me totally fitting that we should be paying our last respects to Mabel on Thanksgiving weekend. For that is what we are doing here today. We are giving thanks to Almighty God for sharing this beautiful woman with us. As I sat down this week to put pen to ...read more

    Sermon 3 of a New Year’s series based on Wilkinson’s book Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs.

    One of the things about starting a new sermon series is that I am never sure how it is going to develop regarding content (it must be Biblical of course) and structure (especially as it relates to application).

After hours of effort, he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the ground.
