     | 342 views

    It is humbling to be part of this community of faith. To be pastor of a really great church, a growing church.

    Hurts Heal “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around ...read more

    Paul gives a great example for pastors and believers to seek to be God-pleasers, not man-pleasers.

    “Be Ready” The God-Pleasers 1 Thes. 2:1-12 Intro. A funny thing happened to me on the way to studying for my message today.  I discovered that it’s easy to find stuff that will help you grow in your walk with Christ, but when it gets personal, it gets uncomfortable.  We’re quick to ...read more

    This was an illustrated sermon. I was dressed as surgeon and had a table with a white sheet over it to represent an operating table. At the close I had members come up and leave their various issues and leave them on the operating table.

    STAY UNDER THE KNIFE HEBREWS 4:12-13 (The Message) God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word.

     | 12,777 views

    Jesus approached a fig tree expecting to find fruit, but it only had leaves. While it looked promising from a distance, looks were deceiving. Are we bearing fruit or just showing pretty leaves and blooms?

    The Barren Fig Tree Mark 11: 12-14; 20-21 Our text today follows Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. He had begun what most consider the Passion Week, the final days leading up to His crucifixion on Calvary’s hill. Most agree these events would have taken place on Monday morning of that ...read more

    I was listening to a group of men talking, and they were talking about real men being turned off of Christianity because of the pastor’s language and even the songs we sing aren’t manly enough.

    Jonah and God’s Plant Text: Jonah 4:5-11 So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city. 6 And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that ...read more

    God’s answer to the question: "Who is my neighbor?" often leaves us asking for option "B".
