    Hard to believe a little cardboard and packing tape could accomplish so much, isn't it? Actually, it's the packing peanuts. Styrofoam is like kryptonite! You take God off His throne, out of His rightful place, and neatly pack Him into a box.

    Your not done

    God often allows the ungodly to amass great wealth--to their destruction. But if you are one with whom God is dealing and if you put the pursuit of riches (or anything else) before service to Christ, God may take away those riches (and other things) until you turn to Him.

    Long before the British royalty, the Bible tells the story of Israel’s royalty. Yet, many of us know so much less about Israel’s royal line than England’s royal line.

    On the birthday of “The King” Elvis Presley, I am grateful to have you join me for a study of royalty. Some people think that America may have never known “President” George Washington had he had a desire to be King George I. George Washington is our nation’s first military hero because he ...read more

    This sermon examines the institution of the Lord’s Supper and discusses its importance as a concrete reminder of the basics of Christianity which we must never, never forsake or forget.

    Lest We Forget January 20, 2002 Introduction When I was growing up in West Texas cicada (pronounced sikad) “locusts” like the one pictured on the screen filled the giant elm trees at times.

I believe that the two biggest problems with the Church in America today are: 1) We don’t pray enough, and 2) We don’t read the Bible enough. 2.

    The Revelation was never intended to be take literally. Now, before you get angry with me, let me tell you that I do take the Revelation seriously and I do take it literally. This book is of vital importance.

    I guess my dad summed it up pretty simply. In fact, I was taken back at his statement. He said,“You know how I would answer that question, why I should be baptized? Because the Bible says to do it.”

    Discovering Your "Why” In Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2024
     | 1,265 views

    The will of the Father wasn’t an optional thing for Jesus; it was an essential thing. It wasn’t a cul-de-sac, but it was His main thoroughfare. Just as you were to finish a big porterhouse steak, Jesus is satisfied by doing the Father’s will. It was His source of life.

    Have you discovered your purpose? Do you know your “why”? Many American Christians fall into the trap that exists only to make money or to be happy. Do you know why God has placed you here on earth? Do you know your “why”? Invitation At the conclusion of today’s message, you will be invited to ...read more
