This Sunday my sermon will be entitled "Songs of the Ascents", covering the 15 psalms of 120-134.  These Psalms are very encouraging and of great comfort.  Sunday I will share some of the history of these Psalms and their application to us!
     I look forward to seeing you Sunday in the House of God!

     Yesterday I finished the sermon "Signs of the Times".    The Bible teaches that the end of this age will be characterized by two simultaneous events:  a Great Deception of the Devil and a great harvest revival of the Holy Spirit.   
      I have determined to live and Pastor a church of harvest in these last days.  I don't plan to burn out, but to flame out!

      This Sunday I will finish the sermon "Signs of the Times".  The Bible gives us directions of what will transpire at the end of this age.  Where are we in relation to Bible prophecy?  You will find this sermon very challenging! 
      I encourage you and your family to be a part of our Sunday worship.  Relevant, challenging, motivational!
         See you Sunday!

      In yesterday's sermon I listed some of the "signs of the times" in which we live.  I reminded the congregation that a great deception will come to the world in the last days.  This worldwide deception will steer people away from the truths and authority of the Bible, God's Word.
        But the last days will also see a great Pentecostal harvest.  The 20th Century will go down in history as the century of the worldwide Pentecostal revival.   For those who hunger and thirst for Christ I believe the Pentecostal revival can and will continue into the 21st Century.
      I would rather be a part of the last day revival than the last day deception, and I intend to be!
      Amen!

     This Sunday my sermon will be "Signs Of The Times".  What does the 21st Century have in store for us?  This sermon will explore the events that we see happening around us, and what the Bible says about our future!
       I look forward to sharing our Sunday celebration with you and your family.  See you Sunday!

      "There are more of us than there are of them".   This is what Elisha told his servant when he awoke and found that the army of Aram (Syria) had surrounded them.  Elisha prayed that the eyes of his servant be opened.   His servant then saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire.   You can find all the details of this amazing story in 2 Kings 6.
      Elisha and his servant were rescued from the impending danger.  The forces of God were greater than the forces of evil.  I encourage you today to pray that God will open your eyes to his surrounding force.  We may not always see him, but God is always there for his followers.   Keep your faith.  "There are more of us than there are of them".

      This Sunday my sermon will be entitled "Open Our Eyes, Lord".  The servant of Elisha could not see the Lord's army that surrounded them with protection until Elisha prayed that his eyes be opened.   You can find the entirety of the story in 2 Kings 6.  This Biblical account of God's protect and deliverance will encourage us as we face the challenges of life!
      See you Sunday!

      Yesterday's sermon reminded us that sin has consequences, and the remedy for sin is the person of Jesus Christ.  All that sin has corrupted has been corrected in Jesus for those who accept him as Lord and savior.  
      A new start in life is available for those who confess Jesus as the plan of salvation.  The curse of sin can be broken, and the favor of God can be gained.

     This Sunday the title of my sermon will be "The Consequences of Sin and the Remedy of Salvation".   Yes, there are consequences of sin, but the good news of the Gospel is that for every consequence of sin God has provided a remedy in his plan of salvation.   I believe you will find this sermon to show us from God's Word that the Gospel truly is good news!
      I encourage you to come to church this Sunday with an expectation of meeting God in worship.  Come worshiping.  Come excited.  Come expecting an encounter with God.   We will find him!
See you Sunday!

​"Experiencing a 1st century worship experience in the 21st century church"

     Yesterday my sermon was entitled "An Approachable and Compassionate God".  Even though God has absolute power, he remains an approachable and compassionate God.   This amazing characteristic of God's character shows us the love that he has for mankind.  While we were sinners, Jesus died for us!  Praise God!
      I challenge you today to take time and tell God how much you appreciate who he is.    The creator of all that exist with absolute power, but yet he remains an approachable and compassionate God!
