    God’s presence with us in life’s darkest valleys brings comfort, courage, and guidance, assuring us we are never alone, no matter the circumstance.

    Some valleys look like hospital rooms with the blinds half-open and the clock moving too slowly. Some valleys sound like the phone call no one wants or the silence after the door shuts. Some valleys feel like midnight at noon—shadows stretching across the heart, courage feeling thin, hope feeling ...read more

    No one is beyond starting over again.

    LIVES MADE OVER Jeremiah 18:1-5 A product with which most of us have grown up is Ivory soap. Besides being 99.44% pure, it has two uncommon qualities among soap. (1) It floats, and (2) it is the oldest of the best-sellers. But, it hasn’t always been that way! Years ago Ivory soap was just another ...read more

    This is a sermon concerning the prayer offered by Solomon to God upon the complettion of the building of the temple and Gods response in II Chronicles.

    Many times in our social existence we hear of strikes being called. Strikes have a definite adverse effect on all of us. Strikes can cripple us in our everyday living and we lost the benefits that we so often take for granted. Baseball has suffered through a strike, football has suffered ...read more

    Plato’s Cave is an allegory told by the ancient Greek philosopher. In the allegory he tells of people who live in a cave who have been chained there since childhood.

    Introduction to the book of Proverbs, along with a "dramatic" reading which personifies lady wisdom and madame folly.

    We are looking at the book of Proverbs this fall, and wisdom literature (which includes more than just the proverbs). Last weeks sermon condensed into a proverb (non-biblical) “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” (When talking about my family, they used the word: “nut”) And the greek ...read more

     | 4,056 views

    there is something more fundamental to becoming a person with a blessed life even than having a dream. It is something called, ‘heart!’ Obviously I’m not talking about the fist-sized knot of muscle in your chest that pumps the blood through your body!

    Last week, my intent was to convince you from the Scripture, of this fact - “God loves to bless His children!” We defined blessings, not so much in terms of the normal measures of worldly success - being wealth, fame, or beauty. These are certainly desirable, but God loves to bless us with things ...read more

    I Pledge Allegiance To A Hiding God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 7,132 views

    The recent "under God" court decision is inconsequential. Far better to pledge allegiance to a God who does not need publicity and lip service, but who points us to acts of justice, liberation, and witness.

    In every age there are those who feel they need to help God out of hiding. God, it seems, is never without public relations agents, who want to help Him get His name out. They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more

    In the Old Testament (1 Kings 7:15-22), Solomon built the temple and named the pillars Jakin (He shall establish) and Boaz (In Him in strength) so that the people would remember not to be casual worshippers, but to draw near to Him, so He would draw near

    Central truth: If you draw near to God, He will draw near to you. IF YOU DRAW NEAR TO GOD, HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU.
