    Only as we deal with our past can we move ahead into God’s bright future.

    No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead (Philippians 3:13-14 NLT). I have a past. My journey back to God began with a pack of cigarettes and an offer to teach a Sunday School class. I was saved ...read more

    Jeremiah 8:20-The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.  The people had refused to believe Jeremiahâs message from God, so God had to send a foe from the north to judge them.

    We need to remember where we came from so we don’t go back again

    The older we get, the more we seem to reminisce about the “good old days.” The Beatles had a song called “Yesterday” where they sang of bygone days where all their troubles seemed so far away yet, the reality is, there is usually sometime in everyone’s past that was not so good, something ...read more

    We have heard the expression, "Let go and let God". Let your problems go and let God deal with them. Let go of your worries and let God take care of that. Let go of your past and let God give you a future. And yet we have forgotten that proven philosophy.

    So many times, we have heard the expression, "Let go and let God". Let your problems go and let God deal with them. Let go of your worries and let God take care of that. Let go of your past and let God give you a future. All of that is as true as the Holy Scriptures themselves. And yet ...read more

    This is a topical message related to worship. I want to discuss the worship-related experience of coming face to face with the glorious presence of the Lord, which ultimately leads to the worship response of falling face down before Him.

    I have entitled our sermon/Bible study for this evening, “Worshipping Face to Face. I once preached a sermon entitled “Worshipping Face Down,” in which I discussed how people in the Bible often fell face down in worship in response to the glorious presence of both God the Father and the Son.
