Image is Everything

October 18, 2020 16:00 - 27 minutes - 18.6 MB

If I were to hold up a fruit with a bite taken out of the top right side, what fruit would I be holding?  If I were to show you check mark what company would you think about?  If I were to hold up a bucket with red and white stripes on it what would be making your mouth water?   Now that you are all ready to go watch a football game on your apple TV while eating some fried chicken, let me try to preach a sermon. The truth of the matter is Image is Everything.   You recognized these illus...

What has God Entrusted you with?

October 04, 2020 16:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MB

What does it mean for you and me to be entrusted with something that belongs to God?   This question can cause us discomfort.  Why because we know that ultimately everything we have is from God.  7:30 At the offertory what is it we say:  All things come of Thee oh Lord, and of Thine own have we given Thee.  This is quite a proclamation we are making.  If it is true, which it is, what does it mean for us to be entrusted with such responsibilities that all things would include? Perhaps we c...

Life, Liberty, Freedom

September 27, 2020 17:00 - 31 minutes - 21.4 MB

Life, Liberty, and Freedom  When you listen to the right person, put the right stuff in, you will find Life, Liberty, and Freedom, but when you don’t you won’t no matter how hard you try. Weed Eater Example:  I have weedeater that I have had for a number of years.  As most of you probably know you have to mix oil with the gas for weedeater to work.  Years ago when I used to fill up my weedeater with gas,  I would just guessamated at creating the right mixture instead of measuring it out.  ...

Forgiveness Isn't Easy!

September 13, 2020 17:00 - 28 minutes - 19.9 MB

What has been the most painful thing that has happened to you by another person?    Many of you would not want to answer this question but you would probably have a very specific answer.   In fact, many of us might have a hard time narrowing it down to one thing or one person. Being physically, psychologically, or spiritually wounded by another person is painful and the scars often last a lifetime. But what amazes me the most is the people who have these scars but are able to see them as...

Love God's Way

September 06, 2020 16:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MB

Love is Powerful.  In fact, even this morning we hear Paul echo the words of Jesus in writing “Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet”; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.”  Love is Powe...

Ask the Right Question

August 23, 2020 16:00 - 19 minutes - 13.3 MB

You can’t get the right answer until you have asked the right question.   this is an interesting statement because it really is true.  For instance, any parent has experienced this when their child comes home and they ask, how did the day go?  Or when a wife asks her husband the same question.  Or perhaps as husband asks his wife, where do you want to eat?  Or maybe if you have ever got pulled over by a police officer and the officer asked, do you know how fast you were going? Or maybe the...

His Mercy if More

August 16, 2020 17:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MB

When you receive something that you do not deserve, it makes you stop and think for a moment.  Why in the world would that person do that or say that to me?  And when you cannot think of any good reason, it then makes you realize that there must be more to life then what you perceived. During these days of Covid-19, political campaigns, and parts of our nation in chaos, it can be difficult not to jump in and start shouting as loud as everyone else.   If there is one thing that has become a...

God's Invitation to Repent

July 19, 2020 17:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MB

I believe that in these days, God is stirring the pot.  God is refining His Church.  God is calling His people back to Him from the misdirected steps we have taken.  God is giving us an opportunity to embrace an opportunity to encounter Him in a way that some have been longing for years to see.    What do I mean by this?  Well, it is not anything new.  We read how God did this over and over again through the Old Testament with the Nation of Israel.  And in the New Testament, Jesus brought t...

Romans 8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do ...

The celebration of our Independence as a Nation is always a great time to reflect and remember that we are nothing apart from God’s providence.  Yes, there have been checked parts of our past and even in our present, but this is still the greatest Nation that has ever been.  No other Nation has given hope to as many people as the United States of America.  No other nation provides the freedoms that we enjoy.  No other nation gives its citizens the opportunities to succeed, to thrive, and to ...

Worship in Spirit and Truth?

March 15, 2020 17:00 - 34 minutes - 24.1 MB

From Hurricanes to Coronavirus, there is one thing that I have learned.  We have very little power to help ourselves.   “the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24  But what does this mean?  Isn’t that what we are doing when we pray, when we worship, when we do all these things that define...

What an interesting text we have this morning.  With all the fear and uncertainty that the Corona virus is causing.  We have a Gospel text that relates back to a time when the Nation of Israel was wrapped in fear from a deadly circumstance surrounding them  Every Jew, especially a Pharisee knew that this story of Moses was about the power and saving grace of God.  Numbers 21describes a time when God had moved mightily among the Nation of Israel and instead of continuing to trust God as a Na...

“A bad day fishing is better then a good day at work”.   How about this one when somebody starts complaining about not catching anything someone else might say “that’s why they call it fishing and not catching”.  Even to a non-fisherman there is something about these statements that rings true, that just make sense. That actually makes you want to give fishing a try or keep fishing even if nothing is biting. And you know what else happens, if you fish long enough you will eventually catch ...

Righteousness is right relationship with God and neighbor.  In other words, to be Righteous is to have one life aligned perfectly in body, mind,...

This year I have noticed a lot has changed in our culture.  It is actually getting difficult to find a non-secularize expression of Christmas.  The movies that we love to watch are more about romance or families then they are the manger scene and story of Jesus.  Even on the radio there are more Rudolph tunes than “The First Noel”.  Though I was a child who thought I was brilliant beyond my years, many of us live life like I was acting in that play many years ago. We are all on the naught...

Naughty or nice.  The standard is Jesus.  Foolishness or enhancing God’s glory, how would you describe your life? Until the curtains close, God extends his invitation to you.  It is His desire to see you reflect His glory that others might see and hear.  And in the glory that shines around them...
