    You can tell that it is time for the presidential campaigns. There are polls in every issue of every paper, every day. I thought I’d start this morning’s sermon with a poll.

    You can count on Jesus because he is compassionate, he knows your needs, and he provides.

    How many different ways can you count the objects you see on the screen? You can count them one by one. You can count them in groups of twos or threes (2, 4, 6… or 3, 6, 9…). Counting in English isn’t so difficult. Counting in Japanese, however, is another matter. It’s not that adding up the total ...read more

    Three basics for living the Christian life from the Book of James - Be Teachable, Live a moral life, and embrace the Word of God.

    I’ve got to be honest with you -- I hate following instructions. If at all possible, I’d rather try to figure things out for myself than look at an instruction manual. I think it’s a guy thing.

    Christmas reveals to us that God knows us and our problem, He loves us because we are precious to Him, and He saves us because heaven is where we ought to belong.

    1 John 4:9-10 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Christmas was God’s idea. It has never been ...read more
