    This is a sermon for Christians to get back to the basics. It has Vince Lombardi’s speech as it’s introduction - "Gentlemen, this is a football."

    This Is The Bible - Andy Johnson Intro: Vince Lombardi – Gentlemen, this is a football. He certainly did not have to tell these men what this object was.

    Psalms 139:17 tells us, "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them." I list several ways in which God thinks about us.

    As we enter into the thanksgiving season I want to take time to thank Our Heavenly Father for all He does. Life is too short to list all the blessings He has bestowed upon me.In fact, I don’t have enough ink or paper to write them all down. So I just want to share why I am thankful that God thinks ...read more

    Just as Joshua confronted Israel, Christian Americans must Choose as did Israel - Will we committ?

    We all face choices every day. Some choices are big and some are small. Some choices have only a limited effect while others may affect the course of our entire lives and the lives of others. Today as Americans, and as Christians we continue to be called to choose. The days of free choice are ...read more

    The only limit to how much of God we can experience in our lives is how much room we make for Him.

    I. There was an urgent need. A. A death in the family. B. A debt that could not be paid. C. A future of slavery. D. Overall a very dire situation. II. There was a use of what was available. What do you have in the house? God wants to use what you have for His glory. One song writer said, “What’s ...read more

    This is great mid week sermon/teaching using the sport of wrestling as the back drop. Great for a youth group but can be used for all ages.

    God’s Wrestling Team Ready For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places - EPHESIANS 6:12.

    Jesus is the gate through whom we enter in to a life of fellowship with God’s family and an abundant life of green pastures.

    John 10:1-10 “I am the Gate” INTRODUCTION We are surrounded by gates. We arrive at and depart from airports through gates. In order to get to those gates we pass through a security gate.

    Jesus doesn’t want us to walk on the other side of the road when we’re confronted with the lame and lepers in our world.

    How does Jesus expect us to live in the world? How does Jesus see the world? Recently I made a challenge to myself to focus on the “Red Letter” words of the Bible and live them out as best I could. To focus on how Jesus lived his earthly life. When he walked the streets of Jerusalem, Capernaum, ...read more

    It’s like trying to read description of grass growing, blade by blade in Exodus 26-27. Why does God want all these details included? How does this relate to me today?

    Exodus 26,27 - Not So Boring Afterall! I found myself rushing through these passages. It is laborious to read the details of how the tabernacle was constructed. I’m not a builder and this is not exactly a riveting story. It’s like trying to read a description of grass growing, blade by blade. Why ...read more
