    Dare we believe that God is still at work in this world despite all its brokenness and iniquity? Dare we believe that God can still work in the world through the church despite all the change and cultural upheaval we see taking place in our society?

    WHAT WAIT I FOR, the DEMAND will never be greater; WHAT WAIT I FOR, the DIRECTIONS will never be clearer; WHAT WAIT I FOR, the DAY will never be better; WHAT WAIT I FOR, the DECREES will never be surer

    WHAT WAIT I FOR Psalm 39 Psalm 39 is probably a continuation of Psalm 38. David is still in the same dreadful plight of man who has been stricken by God.

    In life there will be forces that seek to destroy, deny, or deter human and spirital potential, but the good news is that we serve a God who overcomes.

    God Who Overcomes Matthew 2:1-15 Matthew 2:15 “Out of Egypt I have called my son” After the joy of Christmas, after birth of Jesus, after the wise men and Sheppard’s, and after the angels sing, we encounter Herod’s diabolical plot to destroy the baby Jesus.

    True religion is not acting good but doing good.

    ACTING GOOD …OR GOOD ACTIONS? Our passage in Isaiah seems contradictory at first… the prophet is told to tell the people they are in rebellion and sin even though it says “day after day they seek God out and seem eager to know his ways”! But God says they are a nation who ...read more

    Every human being is God’s creation. A person made in His image. Only when we are properly related to God can we experience the fullness God intended for us.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,590 views

    This sermon examines the relationship between the prodigal son, unjust steward, and the hearer. It draws upon the parallels among all three to make a Gospel application. I am indebted to Dr. David Schmidt's observations on this text found on 1517.org for the idea.

    A few weeks ago, I bought the movie Dunkirk on sale, which is about the evacuation of over 300,000 British troops after the Fall of France in World War II.

    It is what it is?" It's usually a string to throw out there to explain how to accept the unacceptable. Isn't life supposed to be better than this?

    "It is What it Is!" Jeremiah 31: 1-6 The other day I prayed and asked the Lord what He wanted me to preach on tonight and by the end of the day He made it abundantly clear. I went to cut a limb using my chainsaw. The chain got stuck and in my attempt to free it, I broke the chain! ...read more
