Do you believe that when you die, you're going to rot? That this world is all you have? That one day the sun is going to burn out and civilization is going to be gone and nobody will remember anything anybody's ever done? Or do you believe what John writes about in Revelation 21: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. A...

If you study the activity of God through history--His character and nature--you will notice that it's during dark times, like what we may be experiencing in our time, that God interrupts the course of human events in destiny defining ways. When things looks darkest--even hopeless--these are the moments when God intervenes.  In the Bible we see God, through the prophet Amos, promise restoratio...

What if you’ve obeyed, been faithful, done everything right, and still nothing happens? What if your prayers are still not answered? What if there is no healing? What if there’s no breakthrough or miracle? During their Babylonian captivity, King Nebuchadnezzar created a statue, turning it into a god, and making a decree that all the people in his kingdom must bow down before it. However, three you...

At first glance, it’s not all that profound. It says this in Luke 9:15 ESV: “And they did so...” You’ll probably never hear another person refer to this verse as a life verse. As a matter of fact, you may never hear another sermon preached from this particular verse of scripture.  Doesn’t seem all that powerful, does it? But when you realize who “they” are, when you see what “they” did, and the ci...

When Jesus left the splendor of heaven to walk the earth in human form, he had two primary motives. The first was to show us the image of God. As God in the flesh, he came to reveal God’s love, character, compassion, and nature. Second, he came to show us what it looks like to be human in a way that honors God.   The second part is very relevant for the church today, showing us what it means to be...

Conflict is the key to laughter and peace. When we hear a funny joke, we experience conflict. Every time we laugh, we do so because of the conflict in the premise. The following is a neutral position, which won’t include laughter. Every time we hear a joke, this occurs A, B, and three.  We would assume the series would be A, B, and C. However, the twist in the third part brings conflict. After we...

Over the last few weeks, we’ve spent a lot of time looking at the wisdom literature of the Old Testament. In this wisdom literature, the Bible repeatedly tells us that what is happening in our “inner life” has more bearing on our happiness and fulfillment than what is happening to our external lives.  We’ve seen that expressed in Proverbs:  14 The human spirit can endure in sickness, but a crushed...

A valley perspective reminds us of the value of God's Word. We want the value of God's word to be limited to favor and blessing. But what if our perspective of favor and blessing is only in our expectation that favor and blessing equal abundance? The Value of God's Word is not in abundance but in action.  If he said it, we believe it. God said the drought was coming. God said He wou...
