    What Is God's View?

    Why did Saul think that God was not a part of the battle?

    Review: We are in the book of 1st Samuel, up to chapter 17. What has happened up to this point? The Jewish people demanded a king, a king so that they could be “Just like everyone else”. So God gave them a King, who was like the world, and the world’s view of a great king. Saul was the very ...read more

    What Stands In The Way?

    For Ascension Sunday; and in preparation for my retirement as pastor. What stands in our way? Exhaustion? Gather all, gather the marginalized, and pray. Planless? Remember our core values and do them. Lack of urgency? We are accountable to God.

    When a leader and those he leads part company, we learn a whole lot about both of them. Their true values become apparent. The things they are really about become clear. There is no more game-playing when it is time for a leader and those he leads to part company. Sometimes they separate ...read more

    Why God’s will seems to be absolute and yet not absolute.

    March 11, 2001 Luke 13:31-35 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” 32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my ...read more

    Do we focus on ourselves or Do we focus on God?

    “Magic Eye” pictures You and I have seen them in the Sunday comics and on book counters, These pictures look like a mess of colored dots and lines. Supposedly, if you stare at one long enough a picture will emerge. People either see it or they don’t. Those who see it, … are thrilled. The images ...read more

    The ins and outs of how to practice church discipline for the glory of God and the good of the church.

    If There is Sin, What Then? Matthew 18:15-20 (Given at an associational meeting) All of our churches have the same main problem. It isn’t the number of baptisms we had last year. It isn’t how much we gave to missions. It’s simple. Your church has this problem, my church has this problem, ...read more

    The bible clearly tells us that men and women were created differently - equal, but different. The bible does a great jobo of exlaining how male-female relationships break down, and how they are supposed to work. Student Ministry PowerPoint format.

    [Relationships – What a Guy Wants] However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. (Ephesians 5:33) This material was originally presented in PowerPoint format to a high school student ministry. If you have questions or would like the ...read more

    Sometimes the Best Gift is the Gift you didn’t want that is when it comes from God. This sets the stage for the Christmas Event. Christmas only truly happens when we receive his gift and use it.

    A Sunday School teacher once asked her class of children: “What is Christmas a time for” Many of the kids gave the usual answers – Jesus’ birthday, a time of joy, presents…but one child responded with a unique and unusual answer, “Christmas is a time for sportsmanship.” “Sportmanship?,” asked ...read more

    Contributed by Andy Grossman on Sep 3, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 33,554 views

    After Pentecost, when the early church was filled with the Holy Spirit, they did five important things. This message directs you what those five things are after you are filled with the Holy Spirit.

    “After Pentecost - Then What?” September 1, 2007 Acts 2:1-13 After Jesus was crucified, He hung around for forty more days teaching his much loved disciples many things. John wrote about a few of the things He did, then said, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were ...read more

    What Was Joseph Thinking?

    What was Joseph thinking that night outside the stable. Have you ever thought about it? What would have been going through your mind? This message challenges us to do what Joseph did. He obeyed God even when it didn’t make sense.

    What was Joseph Thinking? It may sound a little bit morbid to begin a message like this, but I have always told my wife, when I die, if she believes it can be said with integrity, I want my epitaph to include Genesis 6:22. Genesis 6:22 (NIV) 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him. My ...read more

    Our problem is not that we want too much, but too little; our problem is not that we have visions too great, but too small.

    Text Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20 and again, “The Lord knows ...read more

    Between His resurrection and ascension Jesus made several appearances, proving what He did, teaching what it meant, and showing forgiveness before He went home.

    Last Sunday was Easter Morning, people all over the world gathered to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and all that means to us. Today I want to talk about what happened next. Because usually in church we go from talking about Jesus resurrection, Easter, to Jesus Ascension into Heaven, which ...read more

    What consumed Jesus in the temple courts is what should consume all believers - love for God’s house and love for lost souls.

    (The following will be said in a gruff voice to various people in the congregation.) “Move over. Put your bulletin down. Stop looking at me like that. Fold your hands and look at me.” If I was serious about the things I just said, you might wonder: “What’s eating Pastor?” The Disciples wondered ...read more
