Scripture: Genesis 4:1-16
God is still asking the same questions He asked Adam in Genesis 3:9 and in Genesis 3:11. Are we answering them the right way?
Those of us who have a heart to minister and a desire to help those in need might hear time to time that the Bible is old and it no longer applies. When I think of Genesis 3:9 and imagine God asking, "Where are you?" while He's walking through the garden; I can't possibly think of ...read more

Would you believe that no matter if people were good or bad, they went to Hades, not hell? Do you think ‘Hell and the Lake of Fire’ are the same. They are not.
— Lake of Fire — You may, as I did for a long time, have had casual thoughts that ‘Hell and the Lake of Fire’ were the same. They are not. Neither is each meant to receive the same class of sinners. Many folks mindfully merge them into one godforsaken penal colony where human sinners are ...read more

The owner of a vinyard pays all of his workers the same amount. How can this be fair? The motivations of the employer are explored within the cultural context of the first century.
The Good Employer (Matt. 20:1-16) Harvest time. The morning sun burned just below the hillside and backlit the ancient vines rising up from the even more ancient earth.

Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-22
Jesus loved everyone impartially and intentionally, breaking cultural barriers and societal norms. We are called to follow His example and love others in the same way.
Do you remember Jesus' greatest commandment? He told us to love each other just like He loved us. Today, we're going to see how Jesus walked the talk. Let's pray: God, help us to love like You do. Show us how to look past our differences and love everyone, no matter what. Teach us to love like ...read more

God never works the same way twice. There is a lot of Scripture reading in this sermon. This was a sermon I preached as we were getting ready to move our building.
There is a lot going on in our lives right now. I am sure that our dinner table is a lot like yours and the conversation’s have been a lot alike. What if we don’t find land? What if we build a building and we can’t pay for it? What if more people stop giving and we can’t afford to pay our ...read more
