    Life is a race that all must run.

    PHIL 3:7-16 We are in a race, aren’t we? Did you know that life is a race that all must run, and when I hear the athletes talk about their "race to the finish line", they always say that it’s all about finishing.

    Is your walk with Christ charaterized by a steady flow of life and fruitfulness, or by an occassional refilling that soon grows stagnant? Where there’s movement, there’s life.

    Running Water Leviticus 15:1-13 (KJV) The essence of Leviticus is God teaching His people how to live again. They had lived in bondage for most of the 430 years they were in Egypt and, as you can appreciate, they had lost all sense of perspective as to who they ...read more

    All Christians should discipline themselves spiritually like athletes training for a contest.

    In business, school, athletics, you name it – those who succeed are those who discipline themselves to perform the tasks that are necessary for success. And the same is true in our spiritual lives. Although we celebrate the fact that our salvation is not something we can earn – it’s important for ...read more

    Sermon 4 of a New Year’s series based on Wilkinson’s book Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs.

    Several years ago, I read a case study in a book whose title I cannot remember so I will summarize from a copy of the case study that I still have in my possession.
