    As we look at Peter and John, we see ourselves in our spiritual journey as they look into the tomb of Jesus.

    The Three Views of the Tomb John 20:1-9 It was the great race of the century. Peter and John, two of the closest disciples to Jesus, tore off from the house to the tomb. Mary Magdalene and company had just told the disciples something about the stone being rolled away, grave clothes, angels and ...read more

    If you really start to believe in who Jesus really said He was, then you’ve got to entertain the notion that he could radically change YOU too! That is scary!

    Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at ...read more

    This sermon is designed to encourage individuals to have hope for the impossible.

    The Gospel of John presents Christ differently than the other three gospels, they of course almost provides us with a biographical diary of Christ journey.

    Servant leadership is when a leader humbles him or herself to be on the same level as those who are served. In the eyes of the Lord we are all equal, and for one to rise above another and say that they are better or more righteous is ungodly. What we ar

Moody once said, “The measure of a man is not how many servants he has, but how many men he serves.” This morning’s sermon is focus on: “Servant Leadership that Empowers the People.” Servant leadership is when a leader humbles him or herself to ...read more

    Preaching to an all-age congregation is something we all find hard to do. Here sre some tips on how to make it a positive experience for all.

    Preaching at an All-Age service Preaching at an all-age service is for many of us, the most difficult environment in which to speak.

    This sermon is a lesson on the price of leadership from the perspective of a lesser-known Bible character named Joanna.

    As you know, our leadership teaching is Bible based. I take examples from the Bible and use those as teaching points. Today’s lesson is called, “The Price of Leadership”. It’s from the example of a woman in Scripture that I’ve never heard anyone talk about before. She’s mentioned twice. Her name is ...read more

    This is a funeral sermon for a longtime and well respected Coach, who lived a great Christian witness!

    Because I do some football officiating, especially as Umpire, it puts me out there in the middle of the game! When I moved to Uvalde, I first recall meeting Coach King on the Football field.

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    A dozen men “WHO MIGHT BE WITH HIM”. I’m sure Jesus knew these men and their past… Jesus knew all of the mistakes they had each made with their lives. Nevertheless Jesus wanted them to follow Him...regardless of their shortcomings.

    THAT WE MIGHT BE LIKE HIM A lot can be learned about someone by talking to the friends who are closest to them. There are people that I am close to that know me very well, and there are others who know me only by name, but they don’t really know me. The people who know me best know my ...read more
