    Right now, in this nation, I know many are wondering what my next step is. Many are preparing for another storm, while still wrestling with the aftermath of the previous storm. Consider these lessons from Acts 28.

It was cold and rainy, so they built a fire on the shore to welcome us. As Paul gathered an armful of sticks and was ...read more

     | 14,591 views

    The heart must be prepared by the Spirit to receive the Word and yield a spiritual harvest. Jesus discussed the four types of soil and their impact on the Kingdom. One tiny seed sown in the right place has unbelievable potential.

    Sowing and Harvest Mark 4: 1-20 Today we come to the first parable of Jesus, recorded in Mark’s gospel. This approach to teaching marks a definite shift in Jesus’ teaching style. We have discussed many accounts of the intense opposition Jesus faced while expounding truth. Along with the Pharisees ...read more

    Preparing for Christmas means more than just shopping for presents and putting up the decorations. It means opening our hearts and lives to the working of the Holy Spirit. This is a sermon for Advent 3, Year B.

    The Promised One is Coming! Well, there are only 11 more shopping days until Christmas. Are you prepared? When many people talk about preparing for the holidays, this is the line of questioning that follows. And with good reason. If buying Christmas presents was the only thing that had to be ...read more

    Infant Memorial Funeral

     | 46,657 views

    I prepared this sermon for use in the case of a late term still birth. It can be modified slightly to fit any infant memorial service. These are difficult situations. Much prayer and compassion and humility are advised.

    Parker’s Memorial Message I wonder if perhaps… In fact, this thought has brought a great deal of comfort to me this week… I wonder if recently an angel in heaven opened the book of life and seeing Parker’s name printed within, said “This one is too beautiful to see ...read more

    In Matthew chapter 24 Jesus laid out what the times just before His return would look like. From Growing Trials to Global Testimony leading to the Great Tribulation and finally the Glorious Trumpet.

    END TIMES It was a mild October afternoon in 1982 and Badger Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin was packed.

    The final sermon of this series, "The Ends of the Earth," and in preparation of dedicating over 700 shoeboxes for Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. It is all for the glory of God.

    Today we are asking the question, Why must we all be focused on getting the Gospel out, not just here and around our nation, but to the ends of the earth? First of all, we are commanded. Acts 1:8b (NKJV) ... you shall be witnesses to Me ... The Command is clear – “You shall be witnesses to ...read more

    We have the privilege of proclaiming God’s salvation to those who are in desperate need of it. We have the privilege as a church to equip and prepare people for the mission that Jesus has for them.

    From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, we walked through the journey of Jesus from Bethany, the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, to the Garden of Gethsemane, to the trial with the religious leaders & Pilate, to His cross, His death, burial, and finally His resurrection on Easter Sunday. Jesus was ...read more

    Lent 1: What allowed the Apostle Paul to live through the trials in his life? What about Abraham? They were ’Persuaded’ - persuaded that nothing could seperate them from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

    Note: All three lessons for today (Gen. 22:1-18; Rom. 8:31-39; Mark 1:12-15) are used in this sermon, but the primary focus is Rom. 8:38-39. “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, ...read more

    In a series on the Seven Marks of Discipleship that have been identified by the elders of Good Shepherd Church, this sermon prepares for that series as the congregation participates in a Renewal of Baptism service

    The writer of Ephesians says, “There is one baptism.” Presbyterians believe that very literally. Other churches may baptize their members many times. I know if I were to suddenly become a Southern Baptist, my baptism wouldn’t count. I’d have to be rebaptized. I know some people who every few ...read more

    Wouldn’t you agree with me that we really do need to be a better testimony for Christ, and to be better prepared to speak boldly for our Savior and Lord?

    MOMENT OF DECISION - Part Two - Last week we began looking at the powerful testimony of the Apostle Paul. In the book of Acts, we saw the strength and courage of Paul as he testified to the Roman Governor, Felix. No doubt, Paul was faced with imprisonment and perhaps being executed for his ...read more
