     | 4,199 views

    The New Year presents us with a second chance to Give more, help more and love even more in such a tangable way.

    How would God start off the New Year? All of the churches I have had the pleasure of being a part of had the same tradition of either unveiling a new mission statement or slogan to start the year off with a new focus. Most of the time this usually is divided into reaching the world, community and ...read more

     | 4,545 views

    Moses is a model of a great leader. His willingness to heed Jethro's advice, saves him from burnout, and the people from a DMV life.

    Let's start today by reading verses 13-14: (13) and then, on the next day, Moses sat to "judge"/exercise authority for the people, and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening, (14) and the father-in-law of Moses saw all that he [was] doing for the people, and he ...read more

     | 2,101 views

    What is the relationship between leaders and laity? Their job, and our job.

    Over the years, I've read my fair share of commentaries and academic journal articles on the Bible. I have never, ever, read more passionate-- and even angry-- scholars on any other subject, than I have on today's verses. At first, I was surprised by this-- amused, really, if I'm ...read more

    Do not fear during this pandemic, but use common sense or discernment.

    Some pastors are turning this stay home order into a 1st Amendment issue when it is a common sense issue. If there were gangs of men roaming the streets randomly killing women would you send your female loved ones out on shopping trips? If the numbers were only 2% of the women were wounded or ...read more

  • Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Evidence Of A Shepherd's Heart

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 6, 2021
     | 1,866 views

    When Paul arrived in Athens, he was grieved over the rank idolatry of the city with statues and temples dedicated to various gods and goddesses. He knew that the Gospel had to be proclaimed. Souls hung in the balance. This is the heart of a man of God and the example we need to follow today.

    When Paul arrived in Athens to wait for Silas and Timothy to join him, he looked around the city and did not marvel at the beauty of the city's temples or the culture or anything typical of a tourist's curiosity. If he were to be classified as a "sightseer", the sights he saw ...read more

     | 3,913 views

    The heart of a pastor is unique. In this enlightening text, Paul shares his heart for the church in Thessalonica. Through his candid and honest words, we find a description of what a pastor's heart should contain.

    The Heart of God’s Man (Part 1) 1 Thessalonians 3: 1-13 The heart of a pastor is a very unique thing. He feels many of the same emotions anyone else does. It isn’t that the pastor is given something that is impossible for others to possess, but his heart is special because it is different. I ...read more

    Contributed by Steven Cordle on Feb 14, 2018
     | 2,388 views

    A look at the work of the preacher. This is the first sermon I preach in a new congregation. I received the original outline from Wayne Burger at the Bear Valley Bible Institute in Denver and modified it over the years.

    Change is something new and exciting. Not only that, it can be scary because when things change there is a certain unknown element we face. What will change bring? Will it be for the good or bad? Will this work? Did I make the right decision? All of these questions and thoughts are natural ...read more
