     | 1,379 views

    Psalm 88 is considered to be the gloomiest chapter in all the bible. There is not one glimmer of hope yet we can draw from it wonderful teaching. The psalmist was in a very dark state when this Psalm was penned. His pleading with God seemed to be unanswered. Resurrection is considered.

    Has our prosperity made us so oblivious and so apathetic that we are no longer willing to leave our pleasures long enough to protect and heal the nation that so many others have sacrificed to give us? Even if America has reached that point, we Christians must rise above the apathy around us.

    [NOTE: The beginning of this sermon is referring to flooding that occurred where I live in western North Carolina.} Wow! What a week, amen? Life can come at you from out of nowhere and turn on a dime, can’t it? Last Sunday we gathered here to worship and had no idea how our little corner of ...read more

    Thomas wasn't the only disciple to doubt Jesus' resurrection. They all doubted it. So why was Thomas branded the "doubter"... and what difference can that make to us?

Walter was sharing a dream with his friend, Art, as they drove off the main road thru a grove of trees into a large expanse of land.

    Mary & Martha said that Lazarus was the one whom Jesus loved. But how could Jesus treat a friend like He did? Why would He callously stay away while this close friend died... and He could have prevented it?
