    Is preaching foolishness? Believe it or not, that’s what the Bible says. The preaching event seems like foolishness to people. But despite how it might appear, it’s the way that God has ordained to equip His church.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com 2 CORINTHIANS 5:11-15 As you know, this past week I went to a pastors’ conference called Basics 2009. Somebody saw the announcement up on the slides last week and jokingly said, “Don’t you think you’ve got the basics down already?” I don’t remember how I ...read more

    Truth divides from error not lives in peaceful coexistence.

    Why Are We Divided? I do not know if there has ever been a time since the 1st Century when there has been so much talk about unifying the Church. The problem is that we are more divided than ever and that division keeps increasing on nearly a daily basis. In fact, those who speak the most about ...read more

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

    It is just the asking, but what it is we are asking for that is important. And who we are asking is important too.

    Passage: Matthew 7:7-12 Intro: So Jerry is standing in the 7-11, waiting to buy lottery tickets. And he is praying; hard! 1. he remembers a verse from his SS days about asking, seeking, knocking, and that God promised to give him whatever he asked for.

    A few weeks ago a woman called the church office. She said she had heard some real good things about our congregation and was interested in attending, but she had one concern. Someone had told her that you had to pay money, annual dues, if you wanted to come to this church. Barb, the church ...read more

    Most Christians believe because their parents did and they have since birth. But what reason can we give to those who are not already convinced?

    Why We Believe What evidence can you present for your faith that Jesus Christ is son of God, lived on earth, died on cross, resurrected, saved us from sin, etc? 1. Eyewitnesses 2 Peter 1:16 1 John 1:1 2. Preaching to eyewitnesses would be silly, if they knew better. Acts 2:22 2:41 3. ...read more

    As we examine Acts 2:42-47, we notice that we exist for five purposes.

    Scripture The Romans celebrated January 1st as a general holiday. Sacrifices were made to the two-faced god, Janus, who was able to look both ways at once. Janus symbolized change and transition, such as the progression of the past to the future. January 1st was a holiday on which gifts and visits ...read more

    Today we celebrate our nation's freedom. Our forefathers sought freedom from England and drafted the Declaration of Independence. What about us? Why did we need to be set free, what set us free and why have we been set free?

    WHY ARE WE FREE? Today we celebrate our nation's freedom. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was drafted. The colonists wanted to be declared free from Great Britain. They were getting tired of the taxes levied upon them as well as a few other rules and regulations that were put in place ...read more

    I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

    The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more

    How many of you like to watch the evening news? Debbie told me that the evening news is for old people. I look forward to the news. I get my ice cream and watch the NBC News every night.

    This message is about fear, asking the question "Why are we so afraid?" Fear is one of the drivers of hate so what we are seeing is exactly what Jesus prophesied would happen in these last days.

    Why Are We Afraid? Scriptures: Second Timothy 1:7; Luke 12:22-32; First John 4:18 The title of my message this morning is “Why Are We Afraid?” This past week a man was charged with murder after he allegedly shot and killed a young woman who was in a car that mistakenly pulled into his driveway ...read more

    This sermon was written after my wife birthed our third child stillborn. It came from my heart and I hope that it will help you prepare to help others or even begin to heal you hurt.

    Intro: In a world starved for life. Life without aging, life without pain, life without hurt, how do we as Christ followers respond to loss? Do we scream and yell because we don’t understand, sometimes, do we talk it out, sometimes, do we tell God we’re angry and we want to know why, of course. ...read more
