    Be Real Series

    A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

    PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS: BE REAL A. What is the REAL YOU, like? 1. I believe there are times when we HIDE behind MASKS and FACADES and not allow our “TRUE- SELVES” to come out. ILLUSTRATION: When Karen Morse of Henniker, New Hampshire was about to GRADUATE from high school, she revealed a ...read more

    The story is told of a boxer who was in the fight of his life. From the very first round, he was getting hit from every direction you can imagine.

    • After the first round, he returned to his corner with his nose bleeding. But his manager wanted to encourage him so he said, “Good fight champ, he never laid a glove on you!” • After the second round he returned to his corner with his nose still bleeding and now he had a black eye. But again, his ...read more

    On this 4th of July, let us reflect what freedom truly is, and where it comes from.

    For Ever, O LORD, Thy Word is Settled Psalm 119:89-96 Some of you have noticed that I read this text from a very old Bible. I found it among my grandmother’s possessions after her death. It is the First Revision of the King James Bible which was done in 1762. As the King James Bible was revised ...read more

    Military strategists would have laughed out loud if they had heard God's strategy for defeating the enemies of Israel during Gideon's day. Gideon,though, followed these instructions to the letter and God gave Israel a great victory!

    Introduction: Some of the military’s greatest strategists mentioned never going into action against the enemy unless you have two or three times more of everything than they do. Gideon had blown the trumpet, basically the same thing as declaring war against Israel’s enemies, and many of the local ...read more

    The king of Moab had a problem: Israel was near his territory. He called on Balaam to come and curse Israel. This king gave Balaam what might be considered the opportunity of a lifetime. How did Balaam respond?

    (Edited from and based on a message preached Sunday evening, 2-16-25 at New Hope Baptist Church of Fulton, MO; this is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: The story of Balaam is, or at least used to be, one of the saddest in the entire Bible. It seems he knew the One True God and could ...read more

    There is an amazing piece of art done by a Korean artist named Elder Rhee which is unique. It took him two years to complete the scroll.

    What brings the glory of God to worship? Discernment of where we are in God’s plan and a willingness to grow the gifts of God’s people.

    What a clattering cacophony, that day in Jerusalem! What an assault on the ears! You could hardly hear yourself think. I don’t suppose they had rock concerts three thousand years ago, but it must have been a little like a rock concert. With noise, noise, noise! Loud, boisterous, ...read more

    Nostalgia is a fatal disease, because the burdens of the past are idolatrous and wearisome, and will bring us down with them. But remember who God is and what His purpose is.

    This past February I received a diagnosis, and, I’m sorry to say, it’s serious. I have a disease, commonly fatal. If it is not treated, it will destroy me, and I will gradually lose my abilities. I’m telling you about it, because, if we do not take some protective efforts, it will become ...read more

    At this chapter begins another sermon, which is continued to the end of ch. 11. It is called, "The burden of the word of the Lord," for every word of God has weight in it to those who regard it, and will be a heavy weight upon those who do not, a dead weight.

    A message that examines the spiritual truth that Christ was unclothed so that we might be clothed upon.

    Introduction: Today we continue our studies through the most exciting but also the most dreadful story in all the Word of God - the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I started off with the idea of comparing the four soldiers of verses 23-24, and the four saints (women) of verses 25-27. But as I ...read more

    Scripture Why do churches have so many people on their membership rolls who give little or no evidence of Christian commitment or even conversion? Why do many churches find it difficult to motivate members to give, serve, pray and share their faith? The answer is simple. The members were allowed ...read more

    Mothers’ Day sermon: We need the structure of the home, for there is no substitute for moral living, which means there is no substitute for authentic religious teaching, which in turn means there is no substitute for responsible parenting.

    Lord, help the poor soul who serves as a substitute teacher. When I was a schoolboy and our teacher had to be away, we plotted what we were going to do to that substitute. There was something about the idea that we would have her for only one or two days and would likely never see her again. ...read more
