    This is a sermon about Death, Dying and Funerals. It's from my personal experience from conducting over 100 funerals.

    These are my sermon notes from a sermon I preached on the 18th March 2012 at Nowra City Church titled:- Let’s Talk about Death During the course of the last 12 years of being Senior Pastor of Nowra City Church, I have conducted about 100 funerals in my time.

     | 7,852 views

    Naaman the healed leper had a very strange request for a souvenir from the prophet Elisha: he wanted all the dirt that two mules could carry. What did he want dirt for? The answer is quite remarkable and challenges even the most spiritual among us to live up to his example.

    2 BAGS OF DIRT ON 2 DONKEYS 2 Kgs. 5:14-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Have you ever noticed that things really DO look different from one generation to the next? 2.

    The Christian faith holds the answers to questions people have about life's meaning. If we hold this to be the truth, then the burden is on us to understand our faith, have meaningful conversations with those who do not, and defend our faith with those who have questions.

    It’s a strange thing: the book has never been so accessible. According to Guinness Book of Records, L. Ron Hubbard’s writings of Scientology have been translated into 65 languages; the Koran is supposed to be read in Arabic, so it hasn’t been translated as much; the Book of Mormon is in about 100 ...read more

    A thanksgiving sermon, good for any time, that gives thanks for the best things in life.

    The BEST Things In Life James 1:17 This sermon comes largely from my son Reese. There is a saying, "Out of the mouth of babes". There must be an end to that statement but I don't know what it is. But I know that it means that sometimes the greatest truth comes from a child. We were walking up ...read more

    Why do you suppose it is that people find it so difficult to understand that real freedom only comes when we obey God?

    It’s a risky thing to mix politics and religion. It’s too easy to confuse the two. And if I remember correctly, one of the major bones of contention during my predecessor’s tenure was over that very thing: whether or not it was proper to have the American flag in the sanctuary. Many people do ...read more

    Feeling Small, Walking Tall Series

    Small congregations might feel ineffective at reaching people, but big things come in small packages. Both the parable of "the mustard seed" and "the yeast" show how small, seemingly insignificant things can make a huge impact.

    The passage of Scripture that we will view tonight contains two short parables – “The Mustard Seed” and “The Yeast.” I have entitled our sermon “Feeling Small, Walking Tall,” and the passage that we’ll be studying provides a great opportunity for sharing a motivational message. You are probably ...read more

    It was about nine o’clock at night. A man dashed into the doctor’s office in a highly nervous state and explained to the doctor he had been in a very bad state all day.

    The doctor, in his best professional manner, asked if anything had happened to shock or upset his nerves. “No,” the man answered, “unless it was a letter I received this morning.” He showed the doctor a letter which stated in part, “If you don’t stop running around with my wife, I am going to ...read more

    What materials are we using to build our lives and our futures? What are we using to build our relationships, our marriages and or our families?

    In chapter 10 we see a record of the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. It’s referred to as the Table of 70 nations - a record of all the nations that came from Noah’s and his sons and as they were dispersed. What is interesting is that, chronologically, chapter 10 should come ...read more

    Our words and deeds should not mimic the world’s futile search for significance but should instead reflect a passion for God so strong and divinely initiated that our good deeds point to the sinless One who holds the keys to both death and life.
