    Among the sins of Sodom, we find the sin of doing nothing. The question Pharoah asked in our text is a good question for us today? We answer the question is it a sin to do nothing.

    I once heard Granny Clampett say this about a man named Leif Crick, "he’s the only one I know who can get up in the morning with nothing to do, and at the end of the day he is only half done." In (Matthew 29:3, we find the word idle used, in the Greek it is rendered as a man without work. Friends, ...read more

    As a nation we are being blindsided by things that destroy us. Yet if we were to look more carefully and see Jesus at work in all things, we would learn to be wholistic, we would identify with the needy, and we would deal with both the physical and the s

    Have you ever been blindsided? Something happened, but you never even saw it coming? The snow, for instance. After several mild winters, did you think we would be hit by repeated snowstorms? Did you see that coming? I didn’t. I laid out seven super Sundays of sermons on the churches ...read more

    We hold back God’s blessings by not doing as he directs. Use this as a jump off point to preach as you feel.

    Make Ready For God’s Blessings 2 Chronicles 7: 12-14 Often we tell ourselves we want God’s Blessing! We want to be Excited! We want to see God’s Blessings. But let me ask, what are you doing in your life to make ready for God’s Blessings? We hold the key of possibility A. We have the most ...read more

    The Day Of Visitation

    Whether as members of the church or government we have a responsibility to take care of the poor. Let’s look at what God’s Word has to say about those who neglect or oppress the poor.

    The rich continue to get richer and the poor get poorer. I have no problem with the rich who work for their wealth, but the problem lies with those who gain wealth at the expense of the poor. In our state for instance, our governor scaled back the $5 billion medicaid program for the poor. This ...read more

    Eating with the Enemy Luke 14:1-24 Introduction: Several times in the book of Luke, we see that Jesus goes to eat in the house of a Pharisee. Here in Luke 14, we see the last of these encounters. What’s really interesting about this passage is that, during this one dinner, Jesus teaches on three ...read more

    Does God really care? Yes, God knows them already before it becomes our concern.

    INTRODUCTION Yes! God cares about your needs. Before your needs become your cares, it is God’s concern already. He knows your needs! You praise your earthly father when he is a good provider. A good earthly father will always be concern of taking care of his children’s need. God, our heavenly ...read more

    Jesus doesn’t want us to walk on the other side of the road when we’re confronted with the lame and lepers in our world.

    How does Jesus expect us to live in the world? How does Jesus see the world? Recently I made a challenge to myself to focus on the “Red Letter” words of the Bible and live them out as best I could. To focus on how Jesus lived his earthly life. When he walked the streets of Jerusalem, Capernaum, ...read more

    When we look at God’s word, we will realise that we must respond decisively to the poor in three ways; to be charitable, to seek justice, and to see poor people as God does.
