    Where is the joy in our church? There is so much frowning and silence in a place where there is so much reason to celebrate. This sermon explores the problem.

    GRUMPY OLE CHURCH PEOPLE (All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted.) Through the many years that I have preached and taught from the Word of God I have made one very disturbing observation about the churches in our ...read more

    The Discouragement Of Happiness Series

     | 6,001 views

    We all are seeking happiness and often find ourselves discouraged. That is why we are not to produce the spiritual fruit of happiness but rather joy. This sermon discovers what joy is and how to find it.

    If I were to ask you this morning “What makes you happy?” how would you answer? Perhaps your answer would be friends and family. We are all born with a need for social connections. Did you realize that physical touch, like a hand shake or a hug releases endorphins in our brain which is ...read more

    Don't Waste Your Sorrows Series

    One reason God allows suffering is so we will depend on him. Suffering shows us the value of God’s grace. Sometimes we think grace was just something way back yonder when we got saved. But we forget that God’s grace is active right now, present tense.

    INTRODUCTION I felt the tugging of the Holy Spirit this week telling me to go back and look at verses 3 and 4 of Romans 5 because I know some of you are going through some very difficult times right now, struggling with suffering and pain and tribulation. I hope the Holy Spirit will use this ...read more

    Sometimes we need to be reminded that we have much to rejoice about! … to rejoice in the Lord always! That doesn’t mean we rejoice that things are going the way they are, but we rejoice in the Lord, remembering that He can be trusted and has us covered!

    Mega Christmas Joy! Luke 2:8-20 Intro: We’re talking about joy today. I’ve been mulling over the whole concept of Biblical joy throughout the week. What is it? Is it that important? How do we get it? Now from my studies of the Bible I know that joy is not something that depends on ...read more

     | 10,137 views

    “rejoice always?” Really, Why? Instead of asking why, I’m going to ask you why not? Is the accuser going to help your situation? Is the world going to help your situation? Does the world and the accuser, even care about your situation?

    Keep to the Script Philippians 4:4-9 Voice 4 Most of all, friends, always rejoice in the Lord! I never tire of saying it: Rejoice! 5 Keep your gentle nature so that all people will know what it looks like to walk in His footsteps. The Lord is ever present with us. 6 Don’t be anxious about things; ...read more

    Does Prayer Have Power?

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,793 views

    Is there power in prayer or in the one that is prayed to?

    Many people think that prayer ‘works’ because there is ‘power’ in it, when in actuality the ‘power’ is found alone in the Creator God we pray to and who steps into every life circumstance to work it out for our best (Rom 8:28). Prayer is not some tool to move God or a weapon to use against the ...read more

    Paul challenges the believers at Thessalonica to do three things as a mark of Christ's followers. Rejoice always, Pray continually and praise God without ceasing. He reveals that this is the will of God. Hard core values of true identity of Christians. Hard to follow. Try it.
