    Questions are a critical part of life and the learning process. Here are three questions from God that help us learn about ourselves.

    THE QUESTION Why is it that if someone tells you there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you the paint on the wall is not dry, you touch it to be sure?

    Why did Herod want to kill the Christ child? His motivation has much in common with those today who want to kill Christmas.

    OPEN: (I sat on a stool on stage, reading the following from “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” I taped my sermon into the pages of the book and used the book as both prop and way to hide my sermon notes). Every Who down in Who-ville liked a Christmas a lot… But the Grinch, who lived just north of ...read more

    Nutgrass Of The Soul

    Contributed by Cynthia Hinson on Jul 6, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 13,115 views

    Tough, arrogant and persistent, sin (like nutgrass) will (in Malachi’s words) be burnt to stubble to make way for the Kingdom. Don’t be childish -- our faith is not a game. The prophets have warned us -- and now, someone greater than a prophet is here.

    Nutgrass of the Soul Matthew 11:2-30 Rev. Cynthia T. Hinson – St. Paul United Methodist Church – Conroe, TX – July 7, 2002 The very last book of the Old Testament is Malachi, and the last verses of the last chapter of that book read thus: 1 "For behold, the day comes, burning like an oven, when ...read more

    Look at famous failures (like Mike Tyson and Michael Vick) and Judas to see how we can avoid failure in our life.

    Sin is inevitable and needs to be identified as the filth that is in all of us, and it needs to be acknowledged in the Christian community. But God loves us and cares for us and is in the blood of Christ cleaning us.

    No matter how good it is, it has to be cleaned up. Isn’t that always the case? No matter how good anything is, it has to be cleaned up. You get a new suit of clothes, you wear it a few times -- maybe only one time, in this heat -- and before you know it, it has to go off to the dry cleaners. No ...read more

    The Strength Of Sacrifice Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 16, 2006
     | 6,048 views

    As we try to put ourselves into a position to be able to share the gospel with others, there are few things that will get their attention more than self-sacrifice.

    A. Self-sacrifice. A word we are not too familiar with, right? 1. Certainly, we understand its meaning. It is not too hard to define, but it is hard to embrace and embody. Wouldn’t you agree? 2. And yet when we witness self-sacrifice, we are drawn to it. We are amazed by it. 3. Sacrifice ...read more
