    A main excuse for worldly people not to come to church is that the church is full of hypocrites, well there is always room for one more.

    HAZARD AHEAD: HYPOCRISY (All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and All scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) Perhaps one of the biggest reasons given by non-churchgoers is “church is full of hypocrites.” This is true to some extent, but there is always ...read more

    When a person becomes a believer, the spiritual journey is much like a honeymoon. There is passion, zeal and enthusiasm for the Lord. But as time rolls by, that “first love” can subside. This is what happened in the church at Ephesus, and Jesus gives the

    This is the first time Jesus taught his first disciples about prayer. His first lesson was, “Spend time alone with the Father in prayer.” If we don’t follow his first lesson, we are not following the example or the command of Christ.

    "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:6 A little boy was saying his bedtime prayers when his mother passed by his room and stopped to listen. “Bless Mommy and ...read more

    While some teach us to avoid the Halloween season, Paul’s visit to Mars Hill may have left us a clue as to sanctifying the secular for God.

    Sanctifying the Secular Acts 17:15-34 (ESV) My emails filled up this week from my pastor’s newsletters about Halloween. I get the same emails about the Christmas tree and the Easter bunny. About half of them warned pastors about allowing their churches to do anything around the Halloween ...read more

    Perhaps the greatest lessons I learned about life came during Marine Corps bootcamp, Paris Island, the Summer of 1978. Christians need bootcamp too.

    (All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted.)

    Why is it, that no one wants to read the directions, or the owners manual, or the loan document papers, or most anything? I mean after all, isn’t the main purpose of those types of things, to get you familiar with....

    The Necessity of Suffering. Wounded healers only become so by the wounds suffered in their own life, while un-wounded healers have little to offer.

    “Where was God when I was going through that?” I want to talk about the bruises, wounds and scars and disappointments that we all accumulate over a lifetime and the question that we all have from time to time (or maybe most of the time)... “Where was God when I was going through ...read more

    What step of faith do you need to take? What decision do you need to make? On what promise do you need to put down a stake?

    Introduction Before the first raindrop fell, Honi had to feel a little foolish. Standing inside a circle and demanding rain is a risky proposition. Vowing that you won’t leave the circle until it rains is even riskier. Honi didn’t draw a semi-circle. He drew a complete circle. There ...read more
