    What motivates you to be truly thankful to God? Even our normal thanks to God becomes academic and anemic at times. We need to keep our praise to Him fresh and alive so our passion for Him remains fresh and alive. Psalm 100 gives us that boost to help

    Jesus is Good News for you in the ’hustle and bustle’ of life and preparations for Christmas. He is also Good News for people going about their ordinary everyday business, like he was for the shepherds.

    A man named Charles Tucker decided recently that with all the ‘hustle and bustle’, it would be good to remember why Christmas is a good idea. He said that without Christmas… • The ‘dried’ fruit market would completely collapse • Boring, uneventful lives would have no stress at all • Santa would be ...read more

    God’s Christmas present for us is Jesus. He doesn’t get broken like many presents, but come to those who are already broken in spirit.

    God’s Christmas Present Isaiah 9:2b-7 Luke 2:1-20 Christmas Eve, 2005 I don’t know what your traditions are for unwrapping Christmas gifts around your house.

    Relationship with Jesus leads to real change, as it did for Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)

    There are a lot of places the preacher can go with this text, and I suspect many of the hearers and readers will have been exposed to most of them. One of the traditional, and absolutely valid and true, expositions includes Jesus’ choice to minister to those who were outsiders. Tax ...read more

    Abiding in Him will always result in His fruit in us. If we are not bearing fruit, it is evidence that we are not abiding in Him.

    1. Joy Comes from the Spirit A - The source of true joy comes from the Holy Spirit. It is His fruit. It is what He produces. The Bible says that there is great joy in salvation (possessing the Spirit). Knowing our sins are forgiven and having assurance of future rest brings a joy that the ...read more

    In parts of China, to ask a person how they are doing you ask them "Have you eaten?" Jesus gave the people bread to eat but He wanted to give them even more. He wanted to give them The Bread of Life that would satisfy their every need.

    -Have you eaten? -It’s kind of a silly question since I know most of you have probably eaten breakfast already -But have you eaten? {PAUSE} -Does anyone know any Chinese? -I have a couple of friends one who was missionary in China and one who is a missionary in China -They shared with me that in ...read more

    The angel at the tomb said, ‘why seek the living among the dead?’ And many are finding it true as they seek a church. Corinth was a defiled, divided, and thus disgraced place, but there was hope! Link inc. to formatted text, audio, PowerPoint.

    How to Kill a Church I Corinthians 1:1-17 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/KillChurch.html “Jesus, yes! The church, no!” That was a popular slogan in the 60s...or so I’m told.

    I must confess that not too many billboards catch my attention enough to want to read them. However, one finally did capture it and greatly warmed my heart. It was a recruiting poster for the Marine Corps. On the plaqured, it simply said, “We don’t take applications, only ...read more
