Abraham was called to leave his country. In that calling was a promise from God. Without question, he picked up his family and went. He journeyed to a place in Israel near Bethel. Abraham built his alter near the house of God, but there was disaster on the other side. Eventually, chaos showed up and disrupted his life. Abraham makes decisions that would affect his family’s life for 400 years. In t...

Bro. Hughes continues his series on joy with a text from Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi. In this letter, Paul describes the joy he has in the gospel of Jesus. He mentions four minds; one in each chapter that the believer must have. Chapter 1 The single mind; to develop a singleness of purpose. To live for Jesus Christ. Everything that Paul did in life, he did through the lens of living fo...

We are blessed with a group of good men in our church. Men who stand in the gap for their families against the treats of our world. In our text, the people faced a threat that was almost unbearable. A storm in the desert is particularly dangerous. Sometimes the winds bury an entire caravan in the sand before they can even begin to plan an escape. The only escape is the shelter of a rock to block t...

We live in sobering times. We have to be spiritually alert in what is certainly the end times. The chaos in which we find ourselves contains an evil influence designed to come against the church. Our text in Matthew is startling, but it is not advocating self-mutilation but is an illustration of how important it is to remove things from our spiritual life that will keep us from our reward. The bib...

Life is stressful. Often there is something missing in our life, that God intended to be there for help. Joy is one of the things that God has given us to be a help to us as we navigate through life. Our text from Nehemiah is often quoted. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Many times we do not understand the meaning of strength. The translated word means defense. That we need a defense implies...

Jesus’ message in our text is straightforward. A tree is known by its fruit. If we see an apple on the tree, we know that we are looking at an apple tree. The apple tree does not have to announce that it is an apple tree, the fact that it produces apples says all that we need to hear. People walk around, proclaiming that they are various things, but when we look at their life, we see something dif...

Our text is the prayer of a man who was at the edge of all that he could handle. He was far from the presence of God. He feels such deep separation and anxiety that it becomes too much for him. He was facing a rock that was so large that it stopped him in his tracks. David knew where to look to navigate the obstacle he faced. We can sometimes find ourselves facing an insurmountable obstacle in our...

Bro. Long shares a burden on his heart tonight about our salvation. Being saved is not a big thing, a key thing, or a vital thing; it is the only thing. Everything that we do in life, every relationship, every decision, every choice, every action must be made with the end game in mind. I must be saved.

The story in our text happens in the life of Israel when God was about to bring them into the promised land. They had been on a journey designed by God to remove the effects of Egypt from Israel. They had been in Egypt so long that they had come to look like Egypt. God had to remove that from them before they could possess the promised land. Like Israel, our world has an influence on us. God has a...

To restore means to bring something back that has been lost or squandered. In human terms, we can put things back into someone’s life that has been lost for whatever reason. We are God’s creation, and more than that, we are His masterpiece. That is difficult for some to comprehend, but the bible is clear that we are just that. Over the past several weeks, Bro. Hughes has explored the elements and...

Today we honor our mothers. The Lord placed mothers in a special role. The first woman was called Eve. The word means mother of all. In doing this, Adam was prophesying about the role that mothers would hold in the world. Mothering is more than biological. It is a gift given to every woman that is part of their identity and nature. A mother influences life like no one else can. The root of the wor...
