    This sermon deals with how far we have come from our Founding Fathers’ original intentions for this great nation and how we are balancing on the threshold of judgment.

    America: A Nation Lost I love the United States; it has been my pride and my joy since my youth. I am proud to be an American. Though, I cannot help but be very troubled over the path America has chosen in regards to its founding and the men who fought and bled for our independence. Many ...read more

    An annotated outline of a basic salvation message. Nicodemus had a lot going for him, but none of it was enough.

    John 3:1-21 Man’s Greatest Need A man’s greatest desire and his greatest need are not always the same. Nicodemus was a man who seemed to have it all, except what he needed most.

    A Pharisee, a leader of the Jews, came to see Jesus by night. We’re not told why he came. His opening statement might indicate a curiosity about who Jesus really is.

    In this lesson I cover the context of John 3:16, explaining the meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus. I address being born again, and the significance of John 3:16.

    To experience new life, even in the senior years, means using old knowledge to gain new knowledge; to set aside pride in order to learn; and to be fully open to Christ.

    We had been talking about a mutual friend. We had laughed a little at how rigid he was, how staid. We had commented that he didn’t like change; he could easily be "all shook up" when something didn’t go his way. I asked the other person in this conversation, "How long have you known John? Has he ...read more

    For those born of the water and the Spirit, church isn’t just part of their lives; it IS their life. Everything else revolves around the fact that church is the heartbeat of Christianity.

    LOOK WHAT THE WIND BLEW IN John 3 Here Jesus explains to a doctor of the law that his religion and his own righteousness were not enough before God; but that he had to be born again. Everyone birthed into God is born of the Spirit. To help Nicodemus understand – the moving of the wind. The ...read more
