    It’s frustrating to have family members or friends reject Jesus. Paul identifies with this hurt and (along with other pages of Scripture)helps us to discover God’s solutions, helping to turn our heart from "SOMEHOW" into "SOMEDAY"!

    Hi, thank you for looking at this sermon. I hope it helps. Please do not say the sermon did not help you just because you did not like the style or could not use the entire message for your own needs. I have discovered a few souls automatically hit the ’did not help me’ button if the message they ...read more

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    Get the plank or log out of your own eye first. We uncover one of the crucial disciplines (and often neglected in our age) for doing this: self-examination.

    Series on the Mount Log Off Matthew 7:3-5 September 16, 2007 Last week we look at the need for discernment of right and wrong. We saw how Jesus wants to tread cautiously when judging others being careful not to condemn them. We look at the context of judging that we are to refrain from judging ...read more

    God always pays attention to our prayers and answers them in a way that is best for us.

    Text: “I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4). Can you recall a time in your life when you called upon the Lord and He did not answer you? Some people would answer yes to that question. On the other hand, others would say the Lord ...read more

We'll be talking about God's overwhelming generosity, the work we're called to do in His kingdom, and the truth that real promotion, real elevation, comes only from Him, not from man.

    Few people make a conscious decision to reject God. Most people just never get around to making a commitment and drift right by the safe harbor of Heaven.

    “Are You Paying Attention?” Hebrews 2:1-4 Moms and dads are accustomed to dishing out advice. To try and guide a son or daughter through the narrow straights of life is part of the responsibility of a parent. Some guidance, if not heeded, will cost, but the price is not too severe. “Brush your ...read more
