    What steps do we have to take to prepare to meet our God.

    If you are like me, you like to make a good first impression. Many years ago a boss I had stressed over and over the truth of the statement, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” And so you try to put your best foot forward. Just think back to the last time you prepared ...read more

     | 6,594 views

    This Easter message is an opportunity to present the gospel by asking the question concerning what is your "empty" the Easter -- an empty heart, an empty cross, or an empty tomb.

    WHAT IS YOUR EMPTY THIS EASTER? OPENING ILLUSTRATION: AFTER THE SERVICE, WHEN WE GET HOME, WE WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE AN EASTER EGG HUT FOR MY GRANDSON.

    Speak To Your Dry Bones

    In Ezekiel 37, God shows us that what we see here in the natural has its beginnings in the realm of the spirit. And we bring those things from the spirit into the natural by the words we speak.

    Turn with me to Ezekiel 37. We know that confessing the Word is what we’re supposed to do as God’s sons and daughters. As I was thinking about this, God brought to mind Genesis 1 where God speaks and in Exodus where God told Moses to tell Aaron to speak. For me there are three passages of ...read more

    Daniel in the Lions' Den has been called the "one of the best loved stories in the Bible." But have you ever thought that God had a message in the story that could change your life?

    ILLUS: A 1st-grader stood in front of his classroom to make a speech about "What he wanted to be when he grew up." He stood up in front of the class and said, "I’m going to be a lion tamer and have lots of fierce lions. I’ll walk into the cage and they will roar… and they’ll roar… and they’ll…" ...read more

    This message deals with the fact that more often than not we minimize the core things that are really what lead to spiritual greatness.

    There is a day coming when the trumpet will sound and the opportunity for repentance has ENDED and our eternal fate is SEALED. For those already IN CHRIST, our salvation will be completed when Jesus returns… this time as a conquering King! Will that include you?

    INTRODUCTION As you’ll remember from last time, God institutes a series of 7 feasts (or festivals) in Leviticus 23 that the people of Israel were to faithfully observe every year. Each of those observances have great significance in Jewish faith and practice… but like many things in the OT, each ...read more

    to hear God we have to tune into God and this means being where God is at.

    Imagine a dozen radios all on different stations, playing at the same time. What image comes to mind? Mind numbing noise, mass confusion or perhaps the inability to think clearly, well you’d probably be right. Now imaging trying to listen for your favorite song in the mix of noise.

    The storms and trials of life are part of the process of God building us into his kingdom.

    Imagine a situation where a homeless man is begging on the streets of London. A well-dressed man in a stretch limo pulls up next to him and offers him a job as vice-president of his company. You might think that sounds like a fairy tale; but that is exactly what God has done for us. We don’t ...read more

     | 3,515 views

    As we approach election day we need to be concerned about a far more important election than the one determining the government of our country.

    I was coming home from San Antonio Tuesday night and called my brother to see if he would like to meet me for coffee. He said no, he was on his way to the capital. He asked “when else in my lifetime will I get to see someone either accept or concede the Presidency of the United States?” So I met ...read more

    Do you ever feel like you are damaged goods and God can’t use you because of your sin and weakness? That may actually be a sly plot of the devil, but God is great about turning your mistakes in His victory as He did for Joshua.

    If you are Joshua, what do you do? Here you’ve come out of the starting gate, primed by God’s miracle in the river crossing, pumped by God’s miraculous defeat at Jericho-then your bubble is popped big time by the fact that you showed some arrogance in thinking you were invincible. Sin entered into ...read more
