"This time," you said, "I mean it; I am going to become the person that God wants me to be!" "No Really! I'm going to change! I won't give in to that temptation. I will read my Bible every ...read more

     | 3,920 views

    Imagine you’re taking a walk on a lonely hillside on a hot summer day. A furze bush catches fire, but instead of burning up it keeps on burning! That would take your attention and make you think, “What’s going on? Is someone trying to say something to me?”

    The Burning Bush Encounter 1. Exodus 2.1-15 2. Exodus 3.1-5 3. Ps. 116 Illustration: A missionary to Africa many years ago told of a woman who came to every service, accompanied by her dog.

    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public.

    Rest For The Stressed

    based on 4 ratings
     | 26,841 views

    In this short passage, Jesus gives three simple invitations to bring rest for the stressed: come to Jesus, take his yoke, and learn from him. Here is the essence of Christian discipleship, to bind ourselves to our Lord 24/7.

    Matthew 11:28-30 Rest for the Stressed I choose our scripture each week from the Lectionary, which is a systematic reading through most of the Bible over the course of three years. On any given Sunday, it contains an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, a New Testament reading, and a passage from the ...read more

    Many an average American boy or girl will be raised up in the school rooms of public education. I would like to share some thoughts from great minds on education itself, public education, and wisdom. I'd also like to share my personal experiences in the public education system.

    “The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” ? Martin Luther King Jr. Many ...read more

    Raise Your Hands And Pray Series

     | 17,364 views

    There is a strong relationship between prayer and God's power over the church and our nation. When we raise our hands in prayer to God, the enemy is defeated. When we lower our hands, we allow the enemy to win the battle. The people of God must pray.

    RAISE YOUR HANDS UP AND PRAY Text: Exodus 17:8-16 (NIV) " 8 The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites.
