The Sealed Multitude
Contributed on Jun 28, 2006
A practical treatment of the book of Revelation that looks for relevant applications in the life of the believer for today
Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads. (Revelation 7:3). The previous chapter ended upon a solemn note. The kings of the earth and the rich and the powerful and everyone else are filled with terror as they witness the ...read more

Walking On The Water
Contributed on May 6, 2005
Expositional sermon on John 6:16-21
WALKING ON THE WATER John 6:16-21 Have you ever gotten a pop quiz? It is the sudden, unexpected test which takes you by surprise. It isn’t like the final exam for which you spend the previous night cramming. There is no warning. You walk into class and the professor says, "Take out a sheet ...read more

How To Be Happy
Contributed on Dec 26, 2004
A look at the Beatitudes
HOW TO BE HAPPY I was in the bookstore the other day and I noticed a title. It has become increasingly popular as a title. Perhaps you’ve seen it. It was called, "The Idiot’s Guide to..." There is something about that title that appeals to me. Some of you would say, "Well, that fits your ...read more

The Disciples Realize There Is One In Their ...
Contributed on May 6, 2005
The disciples realize there is One in their presence that transcends human understanding and it frightens them. If you have come into the presence of the Lord and you have not been just a little frightened, then you have not come into the presence of the Lord. C.S. Lewis captures the essence of ...read more

I Love The Story Of The Prodigal Son. You Know ...
Contributed on Dec 26, 2004
I love the story of the Prodigal Son. You know the story. He went from the love of a father to the stench of a pigsty. An inheritance squandered. A life wasted. Forlorn and dejected. And then he resolved to return home. We read about the speech he had prepared. He would recount his own ...read more

Jesus Did Not Ride Into Jerusalem On A White ...
Contributed on Dec 26, 2004
Jesus did not ride into Jerusalem on a white stallion, leading His forces against the Roman Empire. And He doesn’t work that way today, either. He comes in a spirit of gentleness. And then He was arrested and dragged before the Sanhedrin and later before Pilate. He was falsely accused, mocked, ...read more

Contributed on Dec 26, 2004
I like the bumper sticker that says, "Jesus is the answer, but what is the question?" The truth is that it doesn’t matter what is the question. He is the answer to all of the major questions of life. A rather vain student went to his professor and asked him a very technical theological question. ...read more

When We First Came To Jesus, We Might Not Have ...
Contributed on Dec 26, 2004
When we first came to Jesus, we might not have understood just how big He is. We came to see a winsome Galilean rabbi, but we found that He is so much more. C.S. Lewis makes this point in his Chronicles of Narnia when Lucy returns to the magic land and sees Aslan, the Christ figure. "Aslan," ...read more
