    All of us have those times when we are caught with egg on our face. We are guilty and there is no getting around it. What do we do now? Is God done with me? Would He even dare to entrust me to do something for Him again? I believe that is how Peter and the disciples felt.

    READY, RESET, GO! John 21:1-7 Thomas Edison and his team invented the first light bulb that actually functioned for a few hours (1879). It took hundreds of attempts, and each attempt took a full 24 hours to create a new bulb and put the ingredients together. On one occasion, after 24 hours of ...read more

    Jesus did many miracles but only 2 are told about in all four Gospels. One is the miracle of Jesus' resurrection... and the other is the miracle of the feeding of the 5000. The question is "Why are these 2 the only miracles listed that in all 4?"

    (Note: I put a large piece of Matzah bread on the communion table for a physical illustration later in the sermon) OPEN: (We put a “McDonald’s sign” – without the word McDonalds – up on the screen) Does anybody recognize this? That’s right, it’s the symbol for McDonalds. The first McDonalds ...read more

    We are God's tools. To make us useful, God sharpens us by way of trials.

    Ever try to chop a tree down with a dull axe? Abraham Lincoln was quoted to say: "If I had six hours to cut down a tree, I would spend the first fours sharpening the axe." We have heard that analogy before in terms of how we prepare ourselves for a task to be done. But when we come to Christ in ...read more
