    This morning we began our study on “Our Gift…from God!” by identifying His gift to all mankind – once applied to our lives Jesus blood provides: • Justification…(Romans 5:16-17) • Sanctification…(1 Cor. 6:9-11) • Preservation…(John 10:28-29) • Identification…(1 John 3:1; Rev. ...read more

    We must determine that the children with whom we are surrounded are God’s gift and God’s assignment for us, no matter how difficult or inconvenient they are.

    I received a letter the other day from someone very close to me. His letter was written hurriedly, because I had written him asking some questions. He felt he needed to answer those right away. He had a conviction he wanted me to hear immediately. I had asked him if he was going to leave his ...read more

    ISRAEL AS VINE. Psalm 80:7-15. The Psalmist bemoans the plight of the divided tribes of Israel, and boldly expresses his perplexity at God’s dealings with them.

    Jesus' parable of the talents is a call to us to invest all that we are and all that we have in God's kingdom building work. The story reminds us not to compare, but to faithfully invest what we have, and to get to know the Master's heart.

    Matthew 25:14-30 Use It or Lose It Today’s parable is a story about investments. Sometimes we think it’s about using our natural abilities to serve God. Why do we think that? Because the story uses the word “talent” throughout. Our English word “talent” actually comes from that interpretation of ...read more

    The wise men represent us in God’s plan. They represent everyone who sets out in search of a king and finds the son of God. They gave Jesus the most precious material gifts they had and each and every one of us can give him something even better-ourselves

    Today we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany. We remember the visit of the three wise men, but we also remember that Jesus came into the world for everyone-Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor, upper class people and lower class people, humble shepherds and wise men and so on. It is also a happy ...read more

    On Judgment Day, we will be called on to give a personal report to God. That report will be based on the choices we make here and now. We can make any changes we want to here and now. It will be too late to make them when we stand before God.

    Have you ever been afraid to use your gifts, talents or skills? Have you ever thought that your skills and talents were not appreciated by other people? If the answer to either one or both of these questions is “yes”, then you can probably sympathize with the third slave on the Parable ...read more

    God tells us 3 things at Christmas: (1) He is WITH us, (2) He LOVES us, and (3) He is FOR us.

    The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:16-17) God tells us 3 ...read more

    A sermon on perceiving what is good and evil, and how that perception enables us to fulfill God’s call to "be good."

    July 18, 2004 Fruit of the SPIRIT is goodness. The fruit of the Spirit is goodness. This single statement of Scripture makes some people cringe today. Why?

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20.
