    I'm Not Going To Miss You Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 30, 2022
     | 1,038 views

    This sermon continues to focus on Solomon's melancholy view of life and his conclusion to: "Remember God in the days of your youth" because there will come a point where you will no longer remember or enjoy very little.

    The passage we will be looking at today is kind of a lengthy one. It is Ecclesiastes 11:7 going all the way down to Ecclesiastes 12:8. This particular chunk of passage is actually considered probably the last words that Solomon wrote at least in this book. Even though there are words that ...read more

    First message after being hospitalized with COVID pneumonia and blood clots. In this message using God's call of Abraham I answer the question (as best I can) as to why God choose to hear my prayers and heal me, while so many other He did not.

    WHY? Powerful Passages SO – good morning Maple Grove! MAN – it is so good to be standing before you all today. I MEAN – it has been a minute, right? LIKE – the last time I stood up here was back on July 18th 9 weeks ago when we were kicked off our series ‘Powerful Passages’ by looking at a ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the extraordinary but sad life of Samson. A man who had the potential to be a great spiritual leader, but his disobedience and lack of self-control prevented him from becoming the person God had intended him to be.

    This sermon focuses on sinful desires that culture uses to entice people to sin, and how through Christ we have the power and the responsibility to not yield to them.

    If you have your Bibles and you want to follow along, we are going to be looking at 1 Peter 2:11. If you have been here for a while, you know that we have begun our new summer series called “Do Not Conform.

    Fix Your Love Matthew 5:43-48 Intro. Did you ever wonder why we like super heroes so much? I mean what is it about us that wants to fly, leap tall buildings, bend steel and stop bullets?

    This is the second in an Advent Series. This message deals with those who neglected to notice Mary & Joseph in the inn. Thoughts for the direction of this sermon were greatly influenced by a John MacArthur message "The People Who Missed Christmas".

    Making Room…Luke 2:1-7 Intro: (Read Text) He gets a pretty bum rap for someone we actually don’t even know exists. The Bible doesn’t mention him (or if he existed). Tradition talks a great deal about the fellow – but it’s still all tradition and folk-lore to be historically honest: that “poor ...read more

    There have been some people, because of their pedigree, who were destined for greatness the moment they were born. Such is the case with Jesus Christ, who surpasses them all in greatness and power!

    The Second Sunday after Christmas Micah 5:2-5a There have been some people, who, the minute they were born, everyone knew that they were destined for greatness. In 1500 A.D. a baby boy was born that all expected great things from. His name was Charles, and his father was Duke Philip, the Duke of ...read more
