    Sermon 3 of a New Year’s series based on Wilkinson’s book Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs.

    One of the things about starting a new sermon series is that I am never sure how it is going to develop regarding content (it must be Biblical of course) and structure (especially as it relates to application). Last week I said to you that I wanted this series to be practical and helpful to you ...read more

    Looking Both Ways

    based on 37 ratings
     | 7,905 views

    We can look back to what God did for us in 2005, or ahead to what He wants to do for us in 2006. We can look both ways, but we can only step out one way ... and that should be in faith.

    Something happened a few hours ago. Something I believe each of us must come to terms with. What was it? The clock struck midnight, and in so doing, we had to say good-bye to one year, but we got to say hello to a brand new year. We go through this each year, but I am not sure just how much ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,233 views

    Every story, every life in the Bible deals with attitude, man’s attitude before God. The great men and women of the Bible allowed God to shape their attitude, which, in turn, shaped their resolve.

    Watch Night

    New Year’s Eve has a different kind of feel to it than other times that we celebrate during the year. It doesn’t have the hope of Christmas, or the joy of Resurrection Morning, the sense of reverence of Thanksgiving, the national pride of July 4. It’s not really even like a birthday. The revelry ...read more

    Here at the start of a new year, it is important for us to set our convictions firmly with our life as a believer. I am not talking about resolutions. For resolutions, so often go by the wayside soon after they are made. I am talking about convictions

    EMBRACING OUR LOSSES IN CHRIST INTRODUCTION: Every month I receive a statement of accounts concerning my retirement funds.

    We need to learn how to make the most of opportuntities to participate in God’s redemptive work.

    Shakespeare once wrote: "there is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries." The Latins had a phrase that expressed the same idea: "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero," which ...read more

I came up with topics for Advent, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, but I really wasn't sure what would be appropriate for the first Sunday of the year 2000. So, I paged through my files and came across an ...read more
