    A sermon for the end of the year to help people fix their eyes on Christ so they can be thankful people because thankful people are happy people.

She was very distinguished and well dressed. All the attempts made by the police to get the woman ...read more

    Be assured, God has a purpose for His people. Idleness is never an option.

    Certainly one of the most frequent question I deal with as a Pastor, is the question of "What is my purpose?" It is the purposeless life that finds itself in discontent, discouragment, depression, and is a leading factor of suicide. No purpose. Useless. Yes, those are extremes. But, do not ...read more

    Paul address a specific sin in the life of the Thessalonian church - the sin of being an active, but idle, busy body. This sin is a blind-spot in the life of the Thessalonian church. All blind spots need to be addressed before we get to a point where the kingdom is better off without us.

    When a ministry grows, there will be those who will hear of the great harvest taking place; but when they see the work that it entails, they will wait for someone else to do the job, hoping to benefit from the hard work of others.

    When we communicate a compelling vision for our church and community, we will start seeing people join our fellowship. They will hear of the blessings of the Promised Land and want to become a part of it; however, not everyone will partake of the rewards. It won’t just happen automatically ...read more

    Jeremiah's prophecy of the sash. The effort put forth in holding up one’s clothes represents a willingness to labor for the Lord, and letting ones clothes drag along the ground is symbolic of laziness and a lack of zeal for God's work.

    In days of old, ladies who wore long dresses would lift them up past their ankles when they were walking near a mud puddle or climbing up some stairs. One reason why they did this was so they would not trip and fall; but another reason was to keep their clothing nice and clean. In order to keep ...read more

    Here, the Israelites became distracted from their purpose by a desire for worldly gain. They sought a more luxurious existence, with the ease of someone else doing all the work, and they ran from battle and confrontation.

    In 1797 the governor of Louisiana granted Daniel Boone ten thousand acres of land in Missouri; however, he failed to make the trip to New Orleans to complete the title. He instead became distracted by an opportunity to be appointed chief of the district of St. Charles.(1) While he was ...read more
