     | 6,130 views

    There are times that life is filled with great disappointment but God sustains us.

    Psalms 139:7-12 KJV Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? [8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. [9] If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; [10] Even ...read more

    1- Holiness is desirable 2- Holiness is continual 3- Holiness is God-produced

    INTRO.- Have you noticed that there are some things in life that are not very worthwhile even though some people feel that they must have them? It’s like cars and their accessories.

    Mothering in our time is mirrored in the one prostitute, who decided just to take what she could, though it was destructive. But the true mother was willing to sacrifice that her child might live.

    Preface Who is the real mother? How do you measure authentic mothering? Is it by the mere accident of birth, or is it by something deeper? Who is the real mother, who is the authentic mother? Is it simply the woman you gave you birth and who wiped your messy nose during your growing up years, or ...read more

    This was written for the second week in Advent and focuses on the differences that the events in Bethlehem made in the lives of some

    Wow, the second week of Advent, and as we were reminded earlier the second candle to be lit on the advent wreath is the Bethlehem candle.

    Faithful Christians must make a commitment to the Lord’s Day. I used this as a New Year’s sermon.

    Introduction: A. Let’s begin this morning with a few quotes for the New Year. 1. “A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other,” Author Unknown. Certainly pessimistic, but often true. 2. “Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each ...read more

    Most people believe joy comes from the things they own. In reality, things can steal our joy quickly. Paul understood how things could steal our joy, that is why he gave us two admonitions to keep us from the snare of materialism. Each of these admonitio

    Our culture is trapped in a disease for the desire of things, and we are not sure what to do about it.

    Have you ever really gone hard after something in your life? Was there ever something you wanted in life almost more than life itself?

    Going Hard After God Psalm 63:1-8 Ps 63:1-8… O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; 2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness ...read more

    This sermon looks at the connection between faith and healing as seen in some of the stories of Jesus.

    Faith Can Make You Well Matthew 9:18-30 Have you ever wondered if God still does the miraculous in our world today? Is it possible to have a life completely turned around by the grace and power of God? Is it possible to be dead, bleeding, or blind one moment and be alive, whole and able to see ...read more

    Are you willing and able?

    GIDEON’S 300 People love stories of courage. Recently there was a movie called 300.

     | 11,200 views

    Compassion must be owned personally, and we must know that we do have the resources to meet needs. However, it will be costly to do so.

    If we suppose that the essence of being compassionate is simply to have mushy feelings about somebody, we are dead wrong. If for us the word "compassion" suggests nothing more than feelings of sympathy and maybe the willingness to dole out a few dollars of welfare, then we’ve missed it. We’ve not ...read more

    What Joseph did was to take steps to save the nation. He took steps to bring everything in Egypt under the authority of the throne. You can see this played out in these verses.

    CRISIS MANAGEMENT Genesis 47:13-26 Introduction As I read the story of Joseph, I am convinced that he had his act together. He is a man who knows how to handle himself in all kinds of situations. For the last few weeks, we have been covering the details of Joseph’s relationship with his ...read more

    Some say "Kids will be kids" meaning that if you just leave them alone, they’ll turn out okay. But the writer of Proverbs disagreed. Do you know why?

    James Dobson tells of a 10 year old boy named Robert who was an absolute terror. Whenever his mother went to the doctor, he would literally attack the office, grabbing instruments and files and telephones. All the while his passive mother could do little more than shake her head in bewilderment. ...read more
