    The word of God calls us to remember certain things. This sermon reminds us of what those things are.

    We are called by God to remember. In fact, there are over 100 passages in the Bible that deal with the act of remembering. Verses like – DEUTERONOMY 4:9 - ‘Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, or let them slip from your heart ...read more

    A look at the components that go along with making a proper sacrifice.

    Resolutions and Sacrifice Genesis 22:1-19 It was once said that if Christmas and Thanksgiving are the holidays of excess, then New Year’s Day must be the holiday of regret. I think that I am in agreement with that statement. New Year’s is a time when we think back on the year that was and try ...read more

    Sermon 15 in a study in 1 & 2 Peter

    “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; 13 but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with ...read more

    When attempting to reach people of other faiths, we recognize that: 1. There is some truth in all religions and there are good people who follow them. 2. God has placed a longing for himself inside every human heart. 3. Jesus is the universal Savior.

    This is a confusing time in which to live. It was not long ago that America was a place where we, for the most part, understood each other and where other people were coming from. We shared common standards of ethics, and whether or not we followed those ethics, we understood them and agreed ...read more

    “We can’t make an outward difference until we are inwardly different.”

    Intro: (Start with Blank) One day three men were walking along and came upon a raging, violent river. They needed to get to the other side, but had no idea of how to do it. The first man prayed to God saying, "Please God, give me the strength to cross this river." Poof! God gave him big arms and ...read more

    Nailprints Don't Lie

    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,600 views

    Thomas dealt with his loss by postponing his choices and by absenting himself from the community. We do the same; but the nailprints of our shame and our guilt tell the truth about us.

     We respond to loss in a variety of ways. There is no predicting how people will act when they lose something they cherish. I have seen everything from screaming and wailing to solid stoicism to outright laughter. I have conducted funerals where people have wept openly, and others ...read more

    Many things conspire to keep people separate, even in the church. Only God can connect us, and it is the cross that binds us. Are we living out that reality, or have we let separations disconnect us?

    When he says it, it feels both enraging and endearing. When he pronounces it, it sounds like irritation, but it also sounds like invitation. It is both attracting and detracting, both including and excluding. I am referring to those moments in the old TV show, when Felix Unger, the neat freak half ...read more

    A sermon to challenge people to make 4 biblical commitments which can change their lives in the new year

    NEW COMMITMENTS FOR THE NEW YEAR Introduction Well it’s that time of year again when in a fit of optimism many of us make great promises to ourselves about what we are going to do in the New Year that we usually abandon about the second week in January. Let’s be honest now. How may of you kept to ...read more

    Jesus warns some people of the consequences of rejecting Him.

    You did not study real hard for the math test. After all, you are a pretty sharp guy and you have always gotten good grades in the class.

    A true unity in the Lord is something we must never take for granted, and something for which we ought always to pray and work

    A few weeks ago another pastor told me, "Dan, things are not going the best at my church. It seems there is always controversy and division over something or someone. But, I guess church fights are normal. From what I understand, it is unusual for a congregation to go more than two years without a ...read more

    This message looks at the need for honouring our aging parents.

    A little bit of a change in direction here. Early in January we started this series on the Ten Commandments, and after the first four messages we are about to make an abrupt turn. The first four commandments dealt with our relationship with God. They were vertical commands, and now they have ...read more
