    Don't Look Back?? Series

     | 10,548 views

    This message is the fifth in a series that deals with some of the difficult sayings of Jesus. This message looks at Jesus' warning in regard to looking back.

    At first glance Jesus sounds very harsh as He addresses someone that sincerely wanted to follow Him. What’s wrong with wanting to tell His family goodbye? In 1978 the Little River Band wrote a song that describes a great tendency that many of us have. Listen to these few lines from this song. ...read more

    A sermon for the annual meeting for casting vision in the life of the local church. Principals could be well adapted to another church.

    “Looking Back, Gazing Forward,” Genesis 9:8-17 Introduction One of the very special memories I have from my first trip to the Holy Land last year was that of swimming in the Dead Sea. It is a real adventure. First you head to pit which is filled with sticky and smelly mud. Against ...read more

    Finding Our Way Back

    They’ll say that this verse cannot be applied to us today, but my response to that is, “Doesn’t the Bible tell us that everything that is recorded in the past was given to us today as an example?”

    Finding Our Way Back 2 Chronicles 7:14 Our Sunday School lesson today covered 2 Chronicles 7:1-7, 11 which describes the conclusion of Solomon's dedication of the temple. Where after Solomon’s prayer of dedication, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and sacrifices. The ...read more

    Jesus has become a political liability, so He becomes a political pawn. With ruthless, satanic reasoning, Pilate released a murder and sentenced the innocent Jesus to death by crucifixion.

    LUKE 23: 13-17-25 [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] JESUS BACK BEFORE PILATE [JESUS IS SENTENCED TO DEATH] [Mark 15:6-11, 16-20; John 19:1-6] Jesus has been accused of treason by the leaders of His own people.

    What's In A Name? Series

    Your name has meaning! It reveals the depth of who you are...your character, nature and reputation. It is one thing you will carry to your grave! God's name is important as well! Using His name flippantly is sin. There is no greater name!

    Exodus 20:7 What’s in a Name? As I prepared this series, I realized how little we actually preach or teach on the Ten Commandments as if they are neither important nor relevant. They are both. It was very enlightening to me to preach through them. I learned a lot! I trust this series ...read more
