    A sermon about asking God to change our perspective on generosity.

    “Jesus’ Theology of Abundance” Matthew 14:13-21 This is a remarkable passage of Scripture, so remarkable that it is the only miracle story that is found in all four Gospels. The feeding of the 5,000 (which was probably closer to 15-20,000 because they only counted the men) takes place ...read more

    The terrible things of this life will happen. Jesus Christ directs our hearts to repentance in all cases and for that to be our heart’s default setting. Repent.

    The illustration is a fictional story about "knowing the day of our death". Jesus knew why He was going to Jerusalem. The disciples believe the "kingdom" of the Son of Man, Daniel 7 is about to be fulfilled. Jesus turns Daniel upside down. Service!

    Peter’s words to slaves in the first century are relevant to our world in the twenty-first.

    I suspect that a number of you have heard the old story of the young man who was desperately seeking God’s guidance for some crucial issue in his life. For some reason he decided that the best way forward might be simply to allow his Bible to fall open randomly and then follow the wisdom of ...read more

     | 7,028 views

    Watching & praying are often associated in the Bible. Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, asked his Disciples to watch & pray with him as he prayed in the Garden at Gethsemane. I think Jesus was asking them more than simply to stay awake & pray.

    2. God’s Word tells us that if we ask anything in Jesus’ name we will receive, therefore, we should believe God will hears us and our prayers of faith.

Illustration: One of my favorite parts of our worship service is the time of sharing our praises, when we testify about ways God has answered our prayers.

    I want to preach to you on a subject I have never preached on and probably one you have never heard preached on. I want to preach about the kind of shoes that do not fit Christians.

    We are all very familiar with the various kinds of shoes that people wear. As I look into the scriptures, I see that there are some shoes that do not fit Christians and we should not be caught wearing them. Before I talk to you about spiritual shoes that we should not wear, I want to tell you ...read more

     | 3,455 views

    Many people feel like God doesn't love them. There are reasons God shouldn't love us, but we look at the 4 reasons God does love us, examples of unlovable people He loved, and the unique kind of love that God has for us. Ends with a great illustration.

    GOD LOVES THE UNLOVABLE Eph. 2:4-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: A Cheap Obituary 1. Mrs. Willencot was very frugal. When her husband died, she asked the newspaper how much it would cost for a death notice. “$50 dollars for five words.” 2. “Can I pay for just two words?” she asked. “Like ‘Willencot ...read more

     | 36 views

    Jesus’ agony in Gethsemane reveals the cost of salvation and shows that Easter hope rests on His obedience, not ours.

    Every Easter weekend, we gather to celebrate life. We sing resurrection songs. We dress a little brighter. We speak words like hope, victory, and new beginnings. And rightly so — Easter is the great declaration that death does not get the final word. Easter did not begin in a garden filled with ...read more
