Acts 1:1-11 It really is amazing how little attention is given to the Ascension since it is the confirmation and consummation of Good Friday and the Resurrection. Here are some things to think about.

John 14:15-24 The purpose of this message is to help you to really understand what it means to love Jesus, what the commandments are that we are to keep, and the tremendous blessings that are promised to those who love Him. You see, the very essence of the Gospel of Jesus is wrapped up in this 14th Chapter of John, and some of the most important, life-giving, life-altering promises Jesus gives are...

John 14:1-14 Good moms love. Good Moms protect. Good Moms sacrifice. Good Moms want their children to be safe. Your good God does the same. Out of His great love for you, He has done everything He can to make a way for you to be spared from the ravages of sin and the awfulness of the judgment that lies ahead. Do you know His peace? Do you have an assurance of your salvation? If not it could be tha...

Psalm 23 We are in a time of crisis and uncertainty right now as we face Coronavirus 19. I don’t think any of us have ever felt more like we were going through the valley of the shadow of death than right now. My prayer today is that God would open His Word to you in such a way that you will be able to move on through this valley of the shadow of death with faith, not fear, knowing that whatever c...

Hope That Does Not Disappoint Luke 24:13-31 4 verses in Luke 24:13-31 convey an important message for all of us today: I. THE LORD KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON IN OUR LIVES. (Luke 24:18) II. JUST BECAUSE WE CANNOT SEE HIM DOESN’T MEAN HE IS NOT THERE. (Luke 24:16) III. OUR GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENTS AND DISILLUSIONMENTS COME FROM MISPLACED HOPE. (Luke 24:21) IV. WHERE TO START MAKING SURE OUR HOPE IS IN LIN...

John 20:19-23 Back on March 11, just we were beginning to wake up to the seriousness of this pandemic here in the United States, I attended a Lenten Lunch in Brookshire, Texas. By the next week quarantine had begun, and churches had to suspend gathering to worship for a while, and I must say, I miss that, and look forward to gathering once more in our Sanctuary in San Felipe to worship in the pres...

John 20:1-18 As we look at the Easter story of the Resurrection we find in the 20th chapter of John, we find 2 things Mary experienced that are meant for every one of us this Easter. First, she experienced The power of the Resurrection, and in an instant her life was changed forever. Next, she experienced a newer and deeper relationship with Jesus and her Heavenly Father than she could ever have i...

THE CROSS Matthew 16:21-23 It is at the Cross, and only at the Cross that God’s mercy and justice are satisfied. Through the Cross He gives you Justice. You are condemned and a price must be paid. He gives you Mercy by taking your condemnation upon Himself. Before you received what Jesus did for you on the cross, you were already condemned to hell, and there was nothing that could done by any pers...

Psalm 34:19 Can you hear it? If you are the Lord’s, through His Word, the Lord is making it clear that He is going to get you safely through this. You will be delivered safe and sound at the end. The Lord has faith for you, not fear. He wants you to have peace, not panic. Just trust Him. It’s going to be okay. Friend, if you are not a believer, and you have been living in restlessness, fear and la...

Ephesians 5:5-14 At the beginning of the Gospel of John, we read these words: “But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name..” (John 1:12) The word translated here as “authority” also means “power” and “right.” Power, authority and rights are given to be exercised, not ignored. Christians who have been born into the Kingdom...

Jesus said to the woman at the well, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." If we don’t know the Gift of God and Who Jesus is, we are missing the life He offers us. However, once we know Who Jesus is, we know what the Gift of God is. The Gift of God is G.R.A.C.E. - God’s Riches At Christ’s...

Isaiah 58:1-12 The people of Israel were upset because it seemed their fasting and religious ceremonies were not bringing the proper response from God. God made it clear that they were going about things in the wrong way. Going hungry was not the way to get God’s attention. Seeing that the hungry around them got fed would get His attention. Taking on a humiliating appearance didn’t impress or move...

Matthew 6:24-34 God has promised to meet His followers’ needs, but He never promised to provide their wants. Because we don’t grasp that, we are prone to struggle because we are expecting him to do something He never committed to.

Romans 8:28-39 There is a tension that we who are Christians wrestle with on a daily basis. We serve a God we know has the power to save and protect, but sometimes He doesn’t. We serve a God we know is good, but He doesn’t always protect us from things that are bad. There is a resolution to this tension that actually makes us stronger, more confident believers than ever, when the answer is reveale...

Matthew 4:23-25 God makes His presence known in our lives in so many ways. So far we have looked at the fact that you are not alone when you are lonely or when you need deliverance. Today we remember that we are not alone when we need healing in our lives.

Psalm 34:19 The Bible makes it clear that we will face challenges in this life, but promises us that we do not face them alone.

You Are Not Alone Genesis 28:10-16 Loneliness is a major epidemic sweeping across our nation according today. It is terribly destructive, increasing the chances of heart attack, depression and suicide. It stems from rejection, insecurity, sorrow, tragedy, loss, increased mobility, self-centeredness, and most notably, our nation's drift from its Christian roots. If you are lonely, or know someone w...

I Kings 11:4-11 In the accounts of David and Solomon we see that God made promise to David and to his descendants. There is a condition, though. They must keep His statutes, commandments, ordinances and testimonies. David embraces the conditions, and is blessed. Solomon, on the other hand, disregards them and finds that God was deadly serious about the consequences. No man began with more promise...

I Kings 2:1-4 “... keep the charge of the LORD your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn..” What note would I leave if I just had moments left to live? What would I like to pass on to my children as my most important admonition? What w...

I Samuel 7:1-12 The Children of Israel have reached a turning point in their relationship with God. They look back with spiritually opened eyes, and they can see, yes, the recent victory over the Philistines, but they can see farther back. They can see back through the 20 years they lived without His Presence, in idolatry and sin. Even when they didn’t deserve it, he was helping them. One of the g...

Luke 2:1-20 Peace is an important part of the Gospel, and an important part of the Christmas message. The angels announced it. Jesus Gave it. The Holy Spirit imparts it. Paul encourages it. But Where is the peace? Just like the Kingdom of God, it is at hand. Here is the pathway!

Matthew 3:1-12 "Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance; (Matthew 3:8) The call to repent is woven throughout the tapestry of the entire Bible. Repentance does not merely begin the Christian life. According to Scripture, the Christian life is repentance from beginning to end. Regrettably, the call to repent is strangely absent in many modern churches today. The message preached is ‘God lov...

Matthew 24:36-44 Jesus splits His discourse on final judgment and coming into two parts. First, He speaks of God’s judgment against the corrupt religious elite coming within these people’s lifetime. And it does, in 70 A.D. His warning concerning this is to flee when they see it coming. His second warning concerning the arrival of the Messiah, Jesus speaks of as happening later in time. And unlike...

1Corinthians 2:1-5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:5) THE CHURCH IS LOSING ITS MOORINGS, AND IN THE PROCESS, ITS MESSAGE. I’m afraid that many in the United States church are placing their faith in the wisdom of men instead of the power of God. Although they may be trying to do good works in God’s name, they have fallen into the ido...

Philippians 3:1-11 We are living in the time when the world waits of the consummation of Jesus’ glorious kingdom when sin and death and their repercussions will be finally obliterated. In this time, we are called to join with Jesus by entering His kingdom and participating in the reclaiming of this world by believing in Him, taking up our crosses and following Him. As we live lives dedicated to Hi...
