    This is about our sharing our load with Jesus - because He invites us to do so, and in so doing we learn from Him.

    THE SHARED LOAD IS COMFORTABLE Matthew 11:28-30 NIV 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is ...read more

    One Year Toward Eternity

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 20, 2008
     | 2,047 views

    Preached for the first anniversary of Salem Gospel Ministries, a church for French-speaking Africans. Like the Christians of Antioch, you fled persecution, you reached out beyond your own group, and you have learned for a year from your pastors.

    What a difference a year makes! Just one short year. Just twelve months. It is not long, but it can make a difference. It can be one year toward eternity. Just one short year ago I was still in my 60’s, but now I have started a new decade! Adrien and Barbara, I hope I do not show it too ...read more

    2nd sermon in my 2008 Christmas series, looking at Christmas through point of view of Biblical characters, another attempt at a topical sermon.

    Christmas Through Their Eyes Series “What Can You Give” Matthew 1:18-23, Luke 2:1-7 Intro: For me, one of the most intriguing characters in the Gospel accounts is Joseph.

    The tithe is not about giving because God needs the money. It is about giving because we need to give.

    Give Until It Feels Good Mark 12:41-44 November 4, 2007 There is a risk in telling you this story. It is a risk of sounding like I am bragging. There is a risk of sounding arrogant.
