    Stop putting so much effort in trying to win back former church attenders and go after the people no other churches want.

    I. Introduction A. This evening I want us to think outside the box: 1. That is, outside of the box that is the 4 walls of this church. 2.

    The Meaning of Life To begin our discussion of the meaning of life, we began with life's end, death. Bill Moyers, the famous commentator who spoke at SMU during the week, quoted on death: "Each night when we pitch our tent, we are one day's walk closer to our final destination."

    The most basic essential for any healthy church is a commitment to hearing, learning, and applying God’s Word.

    You and I were created for community. That’s why our topic this morning is so important. You were made to have intimate relationships, to serve people lavishly, to share the stuff that you have, to build into the lives of the people around you, to have p

    Making an Impact: Caring for Other Believers It’s been said that the church is like a family. I’ve always wondered about this because some of the families I know don’t function all that well.

    While I recognize that sometimes a church service can seem dull, especially to a non-Christian, I want to suggest this morning that true worship is anything but boring. The very essence of what worship is does not allow us to be bored. When we come befo

    The Imperatives of Worship I’ve always liked hearing oxymorons, or self-contradicting phrases. The word itself comes from “oxus” which means sharp and “moros” which means dull.

    To ponder the love of God is to ponder that which is inconceivable, yet so many of us underestimate this, the most powerful of all forces....

    “For the Love of God!” How many mothers do we have here this morning? You know, it takes a special kind of person to be a good mother doesn’t it?
