    based on 34 ratings
     | 10,773 views

    After Jacob gave his heart to God, and saw the Lord change his character, there was a point where God needed to break Jacob so that he would be fully devoted. God does that in our lives as well - what does it mean?

    You give your heart to the Lord - saying "I’m yours, be my Lord and Savior." Then the Father begins a process of transformation. The Apostle Paul put it this way: "being transformed into His image with ever increasing glory" (1 Cor 3:18). That transformation process often involves the tearing ...read more

    So many chase after the unimportant and insignificant things of life. The Bible calls us to prioritize in favor of eternal values.

    Chasing Dead Dogs! ALL TRULY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN LIFE HAVE BEEN THOSE WHO PRIORITIZED. Furthermore, they had their priorities in order. A businessman, referring to a friend who was devoting most of his time and energy in pursuit of an insignificant matter, said, “He reminds me of a bulldog ...read more

     | 158,921 views

    Sometimes when we make a mistake in life it feels so final, you may think it’s all over for you. The game of life isn’t like a game in which you only have 1 chance to win before it’s over. God will give you a second chance.

    The God of a 2nd Chance. John 8:1-10 I wonder, is there any person here who has been in a situation in which you really wanted something to work out but it didn’t? You felt like if I just had a second chance, I know I could make this thing work. (I Wonder am I talking to anybody in here). ...read more

    This is a funeral sermon I delivered to a standing room only crowd for one the most beloved grade school teachers in our community.

    “Mabel Anderson, Lamb of God” It seems to me totally fitting that we should be paying our last respects to Mabel on Thanksgiving weekend. For that is what we are doing here today. We are giving thanks to Almighty God for sharing this beautiful woman with us. As I sat down this week to put pen to ...read more
