    Peace comes hard for some at Christmas. We must be open to what God wants to give, we must get down to what God wants us to be doing, and we must find meaning in our ordinary pursuits.

    National Baptist Memorial Church, Washington, DC, Dec. 19, 2004 These are stressful days. There is too much going on. Too much work, too much to think about, too many demands. Stressful. We’d really like some peace, wouldn’t we? Just a moment or two of quiet – ...read more

    It’s quite odd that most Christians today forget even though the Sabbath commandment is the only one that God purposely began with the word “Remember.”

    This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about this, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody ...read more

    A look at how we typically don't invite people to know Jesus or to church,we just share information. The important part is not the information, but the invitation.

    There You Will Hear Text: Jeremiah 18:1,2 (I am using the KJV for this message because of its unique wording of verse 2, being caused to hear as opposed to other versions where the prophet would simply have the word of the Lord announced to him, or him simply receiving a message) Jer 18:1 The ...read more

    In a world where there are countless choices when it comes to religion, and countless opinions concerning how someone gets into heaven, GOT JESUS? - is the most important question you can ask a person in life. "GOT JESUS?" is a much more important quest

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,560 views

    If we would keep our freedom, we must hear the Lord God say that you cannot exercise a line-item veto on any of the Ten Commandments.

    In Exodus 20, God's people are free for the first time in four hundred years. They're now free for three weeks, and Moses has done as God commanded. He brought them to Mount Sinai, close to the place where God first spoke to Moses in the burning bush. This is the place where God intended to speak ...read more

    The relationship of the shepherd and the sheep is much deeper than many of us realize.

    It’s interesting that the 23rd Psalm is one of the most loved and familiar passages in the Bible and yet so many people live their lives as if the version that I just read is true rather than the one in the Bible. We can live with such a wonderful sense of denial about the things of God and ...read more

    What Would You Choose? Sunday, January 09, 2011 - AM By Pastor James May David was known as a man after God’s own heart.
