This Sunday we will be looking at The Pattern for Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13. This passage is often referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. It was given to the disciples as a pattern for them to follow when they prayed. Therefore, we could rightly call this prayer "The Model Prayer" or "The Pattern for Prayer". This prayer is often wrongly used. We are not to just mindlessly repeat it...

This Sunday we will be diving into chapter eight in Nehemiah which deals with Spiritual Renewal. Once the wall of Jerusalem was complete and the people were officially registered in the public records by genealogy, it was time to build a strong spiritual foundation, one that would last for generations to come. Nehemiah understood well that rebuilding a nation meant rebuilding the people. He knew t...

Have you ever struggled with feelings that your life is not worthwhile? I think we all feel that way sometimes. I know that I do. Life goes by so quickly! I often think about, “What am I accomplishing that really matters? How can I spend my life so that it counts for something worthwhile?” The correct answer to those questions is to spend our lives so that they count for God and His purpose. If ou...

This Sunday, the title of the message is Resisting Satan’s Traps & Schemes. The threat of attacks is nothing new for God's people. Centuries ago, the apostle Paul warned us to “put on the full armor of God, so that we will be able to stand against the schemes of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11). Our enemy has used deception, trickery, and other schemes to try to destroy or at least neutra...

A man heard his daughter and some of her friends arguing loudly in the back yard. He went out and reprimanded her. “But Daddy,” she protested, “we were just playing church.” Ouch! It’s sad, but true, that the church of Jesus Christ has often been marked more by factions than by fellowship. In the history of the church we have seen that when the devil could not destroy the church by persecution, th...

This Sunday we will be in Nehemiah chapter four. The context of this passage involves Nehemiah and his men in the midst of a serious work. In fact, the future of Jerusalem, and of Israel itself, depends on the successful completion of their project. As they labor, they provide a valuable illustration for those of us who are involved in the work of the Lord in these days. This passage will give us...

This Sunday we continue in Nehemiah to see how God uses us as co-laborers to build His church (1 Corinthians 3:9). Nehemiah 3 provides us with an illustrative answer. It’s an account of the divisions of labor in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem under Nehemiah’s leadership. God made us as individuals and we should not deny it. But at the same time, He has made us many members, but one body in Chris...

As we continue in the book of Nehemiah, we will look at the three ringleaders who tried to keep Nehemiah from rebuilding the walls around Jerusalem. In spite of the fact that things were moving in Nehemiah's favor in a wonderful way, there was still opposition to the work. The devil does not cease his evil just because God’s work is prospering. Satan does not give up easily. John 10:10 says,”...

This Sunday we will be in Nehemiah 2, looking at The Realities of Serving God. It’s easy to be idealistic about serving God until you meet the actual people that you have to work with! Suddenly you realize the truth Linus of the Peanuts cartoon shouted, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” I often hear pastors say that the ministry would be great if it weren’t for people! But the ministry...

People cry about a lot of things. They cry at weddings. Parents cry when their children leave home. They cry at the birth of their children or grandchildren. They cry at sad movies. But Sunday we are going to start our study in Nehemiah, titled Wall Builders. Nehemiah was a man who cried about a broken wall. Nehemiah was a great leader who God used to pull off a phenomenal feat. God instilled in a...

The message this week is Secrets to being an Eagle Christian. The duel between David and Goliath was very important for David’s future, for it brought David’s great prowess to the attention of Israel. This was needed for Israel to eventually seek him to be their King. God always provides the events and circumstances to bring about His appointments for us. Hence, our concern needs to be on our prep...

Sunday's message is "Eagle Christians"! Isaiah 40:31 says “They that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” The believer who truly places his hope in the Lord will renew his strength, exchange his weakness for the Lord’s strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). The Lord will bui...

We've been examining the Fruit of the Spirit for the past few months, and finally we're heading into the last sermon. As we look at the Fruit that Remains, this week we take a long look at Temperance, which means self-control. Proverbs 25:28 says, ”A man without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken down walls". We all know that at the time this was written, cities we...

There is no better example of that gentleness than in the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. “Say to the daughter of Zion, see, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a colt, the foal of a donkey,” Matthew 21:5. Jesus wasn’t trying to impress anybody when He came into Jerusalem. He came with a gentle spirit, one that attracted young children. There was a spirit about Jes...

This Sunday we will be looking at two more characteristics of the Fruit of the Spirit which are Kindness and Integrity. Can’t wait to see our family worshiping and praising our God together again. David said, "I was glad when they said to me, let us go unto the house of the Lord" (Psalm 122:1).

I'm sure you already know this about me, but in I’m kind of a Federal Express person. It absolutely must get there overnight! Do you relate to this? Sometimes I wonder what I ever did without an iPhone. Have you ever thought what they did back in the days of Pony Express when the expected arrival of mail was one month? Now, here’s what I want you to know. When God develops you and me, he’s no...
