    (Note: The outline of this sermon and some of the content have been adapted from Rick Warren’s material on 40 Days of Purpose.) I often think of the stories my grandma told about the Depression era when people would pool their soup beans and eat at each other’s homes. Times were hard, but there ...read more

    I’m a fan of the television show "24". It has more fast-moving action packed into an hour than any show I have ever seen. The lead character, special agent Jack Bauer, is on the run practically the entire show. He has no sooner solved one crisis than another rises. The title "24" is taken from ...read more

  • Sex And The City Of God

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Feb 12, 2006
    based on 16 ratings
     | 2,709 views

    1. The Bible teaches us that sex is a gift of God. 2. The Bible teaches us that sex is sacred. 3. The Bible presents boundaries for the use of sex.

    With the advent of television’s Sex and the City, and a host of shows like it, it should be apparent that our nation is in a moral free fall. The whole idea of who we are and how we should live has become so distorted that it has corrupted our vision of what God created us to be. Rather than ...read more

The storm was blowing them ...read more

    God may have purposes of which we may not be aware and if he permits it, he can use it.

    When our girls were growing up we could not afford to take a vacation at resorts or hotels, so from the start we decided to camp. I remember our first major purchase of a cabin-style tent from Sears. It was luxurious with a place for a bunk-bed cot for the girls and a large air mattress for us. ...read more

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 16, 2007
    based on 14 ratings

    John the Baptist understood the power of the miracles, but wanted judgment to accompany them. He was having trouble waiting for justice -- as we do.

    Third Sunday in Advent -- Lectionary A: Isaiah 35:1-10; Psalm 146:4-9; James 5:7-10; Matthew 11:2-12 I was cleaning out some things this week and came across some papers, among which were some cartoons I had saved.

    What God does is eternal -- We are surprised by significance. What God does is impossible -- We are surprised by power. What God does is unexpected -- We are surprised by joy.

    I will never forget walking into the funeral home several years ago to meet with the family who had just lost a 40-year-old son and husband.
