There are multiple ways to do church, but not all of them are positive. Most are negative. Here is one way that I know, try it. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient chil...

There are a variety of issues in our culture now that as Christians we should not learn or copy. This is the same as it has been for centuries, but sometimes we forget that we are supposed to live as an example of an alternative to what the world says. As a general rule alternatives have to be different...or stunningly, they are not alternatives. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be...

The covenant relationship between Jonathon and David is a picture of the New Covenant, where Jesus trades garments of righteousness with us at the cross. Take a listen. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any...

Where in your life is your understanding of yourself dominated by the giants in your land, or more specifically in your head? God understands that there are giants in the land, but that the way He sees you is far more important than how those giants do. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into...

What do you do when you know you've been asked to do something, but can't do it...yet. This is the spot that David is in as he enters Saul's court. He has been anointed king, but will not be king for another 20 years or so. How he serves and struggles with being God's person is a place where we can enter into the story and find ourselves. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind...

Samuel needed a reset on how he sees people. Jesse's family needed a reset on how they sees people. Bethlehem needed it. We need it, too. We need to look at people not through the ideas of popular culture, but to look at their hearts. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old gro...

Three things in the sermon this morning. First, there is a need to locate David in the story of Israel. Second, do we understand what it means that to be a person after God's own heart? It doesn't mean that they do everything right, clearly David did not do everything right. No, but he did repent quickly. That is the key to understanding a relational God and His people. Third, I hope tha...

Ted Pancoast stands in on this last Sunday of the year and asks the question, "How are you nice?" This is not a how to be nice, but rather how am I nice and is it my default response? So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like do...

What in the world does God need to overcome? He could overwhelm anything and anyone, except that He does not violate our freedom. He then overcomes our perceptions of Him with the presence and life of Jesus; so that we might know God for who He is. He overcomes our anxieties about who we have been, who we will be, and if it is good enough with mercy and love from the cross of Jesus; so that we mig...

In the text there is an amazing array of mighty deeds that God will be re-creating, but that is not the most astounding deed that He does. The most astounding action that God does is that He includes us in the work. We have a role. The red carpet is for us. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back...

If you have ever wondered if God is at work in the world, look into your own life and the lives of those nearby. If you can see God at work in you or others, than know that as proof that God is active everywhere. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just wh...

As we enter into the Advent season, we figuratively join those who waited for God to enter the world at the first Christmas. At the same time we wait for His second Advent hoping to not make the same mistakes that previous generations made–and so we try not to focus upon what the world is coming to and fix our eyes on the one who has come into the world. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in g...

Many hope for thankfulness to come from their devotional disciplines, but that is opposite of how it works. Knowing that you have been given a gift beyond your own reach--knowing that deep in your heart creates a thankful heart. Which in turn can and should be the source of those disciplines. So...is it possible to train your heart and eyes to see the work of God's grace around you? So roll u...

During the closing of the book. John shows us that there are three concepts that we need to pay attention to at all times...not just the time at the end. 1) That near is always in relation to His presence and salvation is always near; 2) Don't add or subtract from the message that God has given to you...to us; and 3) Worship God and God alone, do not worship signs, angels, musicians, speakers...

Don't be confused God isn't making all new things...that is not what the text says. What it says is that God is making all things new. He is renewing everything, not throwing it away to start over. This is a great mercy for us. Starting from Genesis 3, He has always been working toward Revelation 21 and beyond. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive t...

In a letter written to the church to keep it from slipping off track. Bill Strite (filling in for Pastor Dave) emphasizes the love of Christ that under girds our lives and that knowing Him keeps us on track even now.

If we are to understand of heaven (and our future). The box of our understanding of what heaven will be like needs to have these items removed. So that we can see our future more clearly. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. Y...

There are three things that matter in this text before you can preach judgement from it. First, the throne makes it's seventh appearance of the book and all of them need to be seen together, to be fully understood. Second, The one who is on the throne is both God and Savior. And third, your life matters here because integrity matters; witness matters; sincerity matters in all issues–especiall...

There are three traits that every passionate follower, that I have ever met, has. They are: 1) Radically contented in God. This statement characterizes this contentment, "I want everything the God has for me; I don't want anything that God doesn't have for me." 2) Devotedly a Disciple, spending enough time in the word and in prayer that their relationship with God has begun to...

One thing that people forget about Revelation and thinking about the Millennium is that the Bible never, ever, never...not once ever says, "Here is a measuring stick for someone else's faith; go beat them up." Instead it calls upon us to be good students of the Bible and to listen-with grace-to other good students of the Bible. Oh, and to always, always, always, keep our eyes upon J...

Guest Speaker: Pastor George Beers preaches on the example of Peter's pursuit; and Charles Wesley's pursuit of the personal savior that they have met in Jesus.

Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any...

The song that you never here at a wedding...here comes the groom. Why? Because he is already there. The text includes the fifth opening in Revelation, each one shows us a picture of Jesus and a truth that already is, but that we don't always perceive. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back i...

Silly in love with God--that is the terminology that I'd use to describe most engaged people. They're silly in love. They have set aside all of the other options and chosen this one. That is what is going on in this text. All the other options of our affection have been removed and now only YHWH remains and we change our language. Now we specify Him with the speaking of Hallelujah rather...
