Pentecost 1986: We crave intimacy, and cannot live without it. It is not found in ceaseless work and striving, but in simply receiving grace.
The peculiar thing about our times is that while we seem to be so free and easy, so relaxed about what used to be thought of as intimate, yet at the same time we are hung up, truly hung up, about intimacy. I say the strange thing about us in this last half of the 20th century is that on the one ...read more

Peter struggled just like each of us struggle with our faith but one glorious day we will receive wings and fly.
Matthew 16:13-20 Without the Struggle, There Are No Wings A family brought in two cocoons that were about to hatch.

Did Jesus say that we receive Earthly treasures by following Him? The answer is no. We do receive treasures in Heaven. You will want to look at my Hebraic Analysis of Mark 10:28-31 to see why the Greek and English translation of verse 30 may not be exactly what Jesus said.
Do you want Earthly or Heavenly Treasures? Mark 10:28-31 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You." 29 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father ...read more

I've written several wedding sermons--this one is the best. I received too many compliments on it to remember.
Marriage is a sacred relationship of mutual submission–the wife serves the husband and the husband serves the wife. Men and women are both made in God’s image and loved equally by Him, but they are also sometimes very different. Just as men are physically stronger and produce within themselves the ...read more

Sermon for the Wedding of BQ and MM, June 8, 2019 It's not very often in the course of pre-marriage preparation that a pastor gets consulted as to what the bride should wear. But I was! It was quite an honor. And I have to say, M, that you made the right choices. You look lovely in your ...read more
Scripture: Colossians 3:12-17, John 2:1-11
Jesus received a properly conducted trial by Pilate, yet Jesus still ended up being crucified. This message identifies the cause.
Message Our King Jesus Falsely Condemned. Luke 23:13-25 There is a common perception that the trials of Jesus - one conducted by the Sanhedrin and one conducted by Pilate - were both illegal and made without observation of the rule of law. That is certainly true for the “trial” by the ...read more

We list five steps into living in the Kingdom of God. It is a good outline to receiving Salvation from our Lord Jesus Christ.

To share that we can get left behind from receiving what God has planned for us because of selfishness and priorities.
Today’s sermon is titled “Left Behind”. I am sure all of us have left things behind a time or two in our busy lives haven’t we? I think we can all relate to leaving the house and forgetting our wallet or leaving a restaurant and forgetting something on the table such as sun glasses or car ...read more
