    Most folks have areas in their lives that they ignore. In this sermon, Jesus calls us to put first things first.

    WHY IS THERE AN ELEPHANT IN MY LIVING ROOM? This morning I would like to tell you a story. It begins as does many stories with a very familiar phrase. Once upon a time on a fine spring day, a young mother sat through a very boring contract negotiation, while her son sat through a boring ...read more

    French Horns Or Paper Dolls?

    Which would you rather be - a Christian who puts on Christ’s character like a costume, or an instrument playing beautiful music in God’s hands?

    I admit it – I played with paper dolls as a young boy. I guess I got them from my sisters – we may have even played them together. But I remember thinking it was pretty cool that you could take this people, cut out different clothes and hair and stuff for them and make them into anything you wanted ...read more

    In conversations with people there is one thing I hear too often, and that is: “Boy, the Church sure is in a sad state these days.” When I read the scriptures I sense that I am truly reading about God’s grace. Grace is God’s gift to us. Grace is, then,

    Looking at some of the things we can create with our mouths.

    Out of the mouth When is a parable not a parable? That question always comes to my mind when I read today’s passage from Matthew’s Gospel. We are told that Peter said to Jesus “Explain the parable to us”. But it does not matter how many times I read the passage, I cannot find a parable. Instead, I ...read more

    A Mothers Day sermon that shows how a mother who truely seeks the Lord, passes her values to her children

    Hi, thank you for looking at this sermon. I hope it helps.

    While we are waiting for answers from God, there are some valuable lessons for us to learn.

    Most of us have experienced the following: You want to get down the road, but the road is curvy, and you’re behind a slow driver. You have to slow down and wait. How about making an important phone call, and all you get is a machine. The machine says, “If you live within the U.S. press 1; If ...read more
