     | 60,014 views

    I purposely decided to preach on the topic of God’s love at the end of this series because love is an essential attribute of God, the capstone of His personality. Having said that, I feel overwhelmed and challenged by the task of trying to put into words

    Our Loving God I know I got a lot of mileage last week out of turning 40 but I thought I’d begin this morning with a story about what happened when a young couple invited their aging pastor over for Sunday dinner.

    The World has a solution to worry that includes ingnoring problems, pretenting that they can not get any worse or simply trying to laugh them off. Yet God has a different antidote to worry and today I would like to show it to you...

     | 5,613 views

    We should all be “treating” the Lord with our devotion and reverence. But how many of us are trying to “trick” Him? How many of us are doing things to appease God, while at the same time we’re pleasing the world or ourselves?

    Halloween is a holiday that most children look forward to, because they get to dress up as their favorite storybook character or superhero; and then go knocking on doors and hopefully come home with a big bag full of candy.

    I was on my way to hell living a life contrary to the will of God. The devil was trying to destroy me, I looked down the barrel of a gun that did not go off, I took the sleeping pills that didn’t work, I found myself in situations I had no business being in but one day Jesus got a hold of me.
