    Horse Sense Without The Horse Series

    We should never assume that common sense is common. We all have gaps in our wisdom spectrum, and we all need to review to stay sharp. Today we will look at four obvious bits of divine advice.

    Horse Sense Without the Horse Proverbs 20:15-18 1. I like horses okay, but they I am not a horse-person. 2. But for much of history, horses were crucial. As a result, we have developed a lot of idioms involving horses. 3. “Many terms and phrases in the English language harken back to a time not ...read more

    Romans 12.1-2 exposition

    Romans 12.1-2 is a natural bridge between the two major sections of Paul’s letter. In light of what he has just said in the first 11 chapters about the mercies of God, he now makes an appeal to the Roman believers to live their lives in accordance with the grace they have received through faith. ...read more

    A sermon preached at a Methodist Covenant Service

    I have a great admiration for the commitment of those people who spend hours and hours, months, years even, trying to develop things, trying to invent new things. Some are more successful than others of course. One man called Arthur Pedrick patented 162 inventions between 1962 and 1977. None of ...read more

    How To Resolve Conflict

     | 15,914 views

    We all live with the consequences of conflict – the hurt and pain. Jesus gives us some real advice on how to properly deal with sin and conflict – and has some surprises about a very well known section of Scripture.

    How much time do we spend in conflict? It started back with Cain & Abel. You remember the story – the two first brothers argued because God favored Abel’s sacrifice more than Cain’s. You know how the story ends – with the first murder – and it seems, brothers (and even brothers and sisters) have ...read more

    What's A Preacher To Do? Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 20, 2022
     | 2,716 views

    After Paul's customary, brief introduction, he moved right into the challenges facing Timothy in his ministry in Ephesus. We can distill Paul's advice to Timothy down into four directives.

    Introduction: A. Ministry can be a challenge for ministers and for members – How’s that for an understatement? B. But imagine seeing this “want ad” for a preacher: 1. “Must have experience as a shepherd, CEO, office manager, educator, salesman, diplomat, referee, writer, theologian, politician, ...read more

    This sermon seeks to provide a better understanding as to how God guides His people. It takes an illustration of a hand, with its five fingers, to give a practical insight into the subject.

    INTRODUCTION Today’s talk is entitled How does God guide us? As we consider this subject, I would like to make some assumptions – 1) We assume that God exists. 2) That God wants to guide us. 3) That we want him to guide us. I will assume we all hold a positive response to all of these ...read more

    "Control your generosity when it comes to a chronic borrower." is good advice to follow. Something else too wouldn’t hurt if others would listen to it & it concerns eternity. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction I’ve heard many say, "It’s the harshest words ever spoken by Jesus Himself." Maybe, but true none the less! In the closing remarks of His sermon on the Mount, Jesus pointedly said, "One day, some of you standing here will hear the very words, I never knew YOU come from God’s own ...read more

    We have all sinned. We’re all displeased by sin, and that disease is fatal. Perhaps these are some of the same things that drove this young ruler in the Bible to seek advice and counsel from Jesus Christ.

    What are people looking for? The same as young man in the Bible. There is a restless among people, especially among youth today; there’s a feeling of emptiness and dependency, a sense of guilt. There’s a strong desire for an ideology that will give meaning to our existence. We have all sinned. ...read more

    It is helpful to see the events in the Ephesus Church’s life and what we can learn: to do things right, as Ephesus did them right, to pick up pointers as the Apostles gave them advice, and to avoid the mistakes that Ephesus made.

    Starting from scratch Ephesus - Year 1 Acts 18.19-27 For 9 sessions it is my intention to trace the Church at Ephesus as it unfolds in the New Testament. From Acts 18 to Revelation 2, we see the first half century of this primal church’s life. As it grows there are valuable lessons to be ...read more
