“Wisdom to Live By!” The pursuit of worldly riches seems to be what “the American dream” is all about. Few people are satisfied or content with what they have, and many are caught in the trap of believing that money and things can produce happiness. Yet the misery of those who pursue the things of the world is obvious to those who…

“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”
Sermons on Luke
“Wisdom to Live By!” Pride is a roadblock to grace! You can be proud of a job well done and be thankful to God for giving you the opportunity and skills and strength to accomplish something that is good for you and others, and thus has the potential to glorify God as you testify to His work within you … but pride…
“Wisdom to Live By!” Lying causes all kinds of problems. Everyone knows that! Yet for those without the Spirit of God and faith in Jesus Christ, lying seems at times more convenient or easier than simply being honest and telling the truth. Even those who are born again and in whom the Spirit is working can be deceived by the old nature…
“Wisdom to Live By!” GOD is real!!! The God who created the universe, including the earth and the solar system in which this planet exists, holds all things in His hands and sees all things and knows all things. Yet, “the fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God!’” (Psalm 14:1). Rejecting the God who created them, people fashion for themselves…
“Wisdom to Live By!” It is an admirable goal: “ … one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all,” but the ideal is not realistic as we live in this world. Mankind, including every man, woman and child, is too deeply affected by our sinful rebellion against God. All of our attempts to establish “a more perfect union” have been…
“The Six Marks of a Disciple” Jesus was sent into this world on a mission. Few who believe the Bible to be the Word of God would argue with that statement. But what was the mission He was sent to accomplish? Jesus doesn’t leave us in doubt! He says, “I will build My Church!” Jesus further describes His mission in John 17:1-4,…
“The Six Marks of a Disciple” God speaks often in His Word about the importance of serving others. Jesus emphasized to His disciples that serving others was a large part of what it meant to be one of His disciples. He used Himself as the ultimate example, saying that He came into the world “not to be served, but to serve and…
Third Sunday of Advent: “LASTING Peace!” “Peace on earth! Good will towards men!!” Many of us can identify those words as being spoken by the angels to the shepherds on the night of Jesus’ birth. It sounds wonderful … PEACE on earth! Yet here we are, in a year filled with anything BUT peace in our nation and in other places around…
REVIVAL! Fanning into Flame the Gift of God That is In You! As many pray for REVIVAL, few seem to understand that true revival is the work of the Holy Spirit in those who know Christ! It’s somewhat easy to get people “fired up” for a brief emotional “high,” but if that’s all that happens there will be no lasting personal change…
This Is Eternal Life! Because we hear so many things today that are not true, it is easy to become skeptical of anything and everything we are told. Yet, in God’s Word we have facts, truth that has been passed down to us, that becomes for us the foundation for life itself. All of what the Bible teaches centers around Jesus Christ,…
