    The "Good" of this news!

    This passage starts with judgment, and it ends with good news. I hate to tell you this – it’s not very Christmas-sy, but good news will always have to have judgment in it. If there is no judgment in the story anywhere, then there is nothing, “good” about it. It is just news. And so as we ...read more

    Death is just around the corner. Jesus could return at any moment. Are you prepared?

    This sermon looks at out need to be prepared, not only for the inevitabilities of life, but more importantly for the Lord Jesus' return. It looks at the Men of Issachar, The Ten Virgins, and Zacchaeus.

    Be Prepared Last week we looked at our need to be grateful to God when life happens. This got me thinking of the Boy Scout motto: be prepared. What this basically means is that we need to be prepared for the inevitabilities of life. But I believe it goes much deeper. What we need to be prepared ...read more

    I have shared with a few of you the past few days or weeks that after the Bible study in the Book of Daniel I was thinking about explaining and giving detailed instructions on centering prayer.

    God's heart bleeds for the lost. How about yours?
