Who Are You Impressing?

Who Are You Impressing?

Matthew 6:1-4 If the whole world was blind, how many people would you impress? It is reported that St. Francis of Assisi once said, “Always share the gospel and when necessary use words”. We are supposed to show the love of Christ through our actions and life. When people notice we are doing something that is out […]

Count Your Blessings

Count Your Blessings

James 1:17, Psalm 107 On Thanksgiving, we give thanks for all the blessings God gives us each and every day. Some blessings we easily notice and appreciate, while other blessings go unnoticed and we take them for granted. At first glance, we may notice the blessings of family, friends, food, and shelter.  But what about the other […]

Protocol Thanks

Protocol Thanks

Luke 17:11-19 Most of us have grown up with at least having some manners; so when we are given something, we usually say “Thank you” – but do we really contemplate our response. Are we giving a whole hearted “thank you” response or are we just going off of protocol or of the awkwardness if we […]

Hey Brother

Hey Brother

Galatians 3:26-29 “Hey brother, what’s up?” or “Hey sister, what’s going on?” are greetings looked at by many in the world as a referral to our brothers and sisters in harmony with mother earth, or the belief that we all came from an evolutionary process that Darwin believed in.“Christian brotherhood is not an ideal which […]

Being Perfect

Being Perfect

Philippians 3:12-21 I was listening to a brother in Christ speak to a football team the other day and he talked about being perfect. He wasn’t referring to being perfect in worldly standards, but being perfect in the standards of God. He was reminding these young men that their past does not define who they are, […]

Shine in Humility

Shine in Humility

Romans 12:3-8 Back in September, our church had a community worship service for each one of our services and for the community at large. It was a great day and there were so many elements that came together to worship our Lord. Different genres of music were included from praise bands, choir, strings, orchestra, and […]

Greatness

Greatness

John 14:12-14 LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Peyton Manning – do these names sound familiar? For most of us they do. These men are pillars or models of what can be accomplished within that sport; one can say they set the benchmark. Not to put a lot of emphasis on athletes here, but want to make […]

Cornerstone

Cornerstone

1 Peter 2:1-10 Being a mason in my younger years, I know how to build a building out of brick. First you have to build your corners, and then when they are all plumb and level, you string out a line from one corner to the other and start laying brick on brick. It is […]

Wanted

Wanted

Acts 17:24-32 The Message Many go through life with the feeling of loneliness, the feeling that nobody wants them; I’m here to tell you that you are wanted. God wants you because you are His child. God wants you to fulfill His plan for you, to be His hands and feet. He wants you to receive the freedom […]
