    God asks me to invest into His kingdom purposes with my time, talents and treasure. In this way I am committed because it costs me something. The things I put my time and talents and money towards are the things that have a priority in my life.

    Exodus 25 - It Will Cost You Something to Serve God! When I first came into ministry many years ago now, Julie and I realized that the only way we could train in the Bible College was to sell everything we owned except our car and our children (actually our children already belonged to God, so ...read more

    The 12 Days Of Christmas Series

     | 16,945 views

    When you view the Christmas story in Scripture, it almost seems like God didn't invest much in Jesus' birth. Lowly parent, born in a barn, laid in a manger, announced to mere shepherds. Is there something about this gift of Christ that we're missing?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc00HVmkaXY (acapella – fade out at 3:00) Did you notice how much fun those guys had singing that song? That’s the way it ought to be because Christmas is a fun time of the year. There’s another Christmas song that says that Christmas is the ...read more

    The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a starting place for success. I believe this is also a starting place for successful ministers as we prepare others to make it on their own.

    Sermon: A Starting Place for Successful Ministry Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-6 1Ti 2:1 ¶ I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and ...read more

    Using the Old Testament Prophets to show a modern day need of returning to the Lord that so obviously birthed this nation called the United States

    Probably nowhere in the Bible is the tenderness of the relationship between the Lord and His subjects better demonstrated than in these two passages. In Ezekiel 16 the Lord wonderfully reminds Israel of the way that He founded the nation. A people not loved by anyone. He demonstrates this by using ...read more

    Christians need to experience these three things in their lives in order to be used by God in what may well be the last days prior to His return.

    CLUED IN...TUNED IN...TURNED ON “For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place.

    First Sunday In Advent: Preparation for Jesus’ return is not ’rocket science.’ Readiness is simply living in the faith that God has called us to by grace.

    Today is the first Sunday of Advent - the beginning of a new Church Year. The Altar is draped in blue - expressive of hope, expectation and anticipation, which is the dominant mood of Advent.
