    Andy Stanley once noted: “Many people are what you might call directionally challenged; They don’t know where they’re going, They haven’t a goal, They just wander thru life expecting that everything will turn out all right.”

    Several years ago I was leaving a church and looked for ideas for winding down or farewell sermons. I found few ideas. I was able to piece a few options from reference to Paul’s final meeting with the Ephesian elders and Paul’s final thoughts to Timothy.

    This lesson is one of the “farewell sermons” I put together. I have a bibliography for those who would like it.This sermon became the last one I preached in my previous church. The title was inspired by the tagline of a comedian who was popular when I was a kid and I have a series (unrelated to ...read more

    We live in a dysfunctional world where hope has died. Revelation provides hope for all Christians that there is something better for the faithful.

    Today’s world seems to be completely dysfunctional. Every time I turn on the news I don’t know about you, but I get disgusted. Depressed even. Shootings occurring just blocks from my house. Robberies and break-ins in my own neighborhood! This past October someone went on a murder spree in a ...read more
