God’s Providential Will?

This Sunday we are continuing our series preaching through the book of 1 Samuel.  This time we are in chapter 24.  In this chapter we have Saul, who finds out where David is hiding (in the wilderness of En-Gev), and proceeds to chase after him again.  This time, however, in a weak (for Saul), but…

Dealing With Your Enemies

This Sunday, we continue our series preaching through the book of 1 Samuel.  We come to chapter 23.  In this chapter we have David, the anointed, future king of Israel, again in a very difficult place -running for his life from Saul.  This time he encounters some so-called “friends.”  Well, at least, they’re his countrymen,…

Godly Mothers & Grandmothers

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, a day we honor our mother’s, so we will step away from our Samuel series to do a message for mom’s.  I thought we would look at a passage where Paul the apostle recognizes the most important ministry for every mom.  That text is 2 Timothy 1:5 which talks briefly…

The Ministry of Encouragement

Hope Deferred in Witnessing

This Sunday, we continue again our topical series on the scripture: Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”  This “Hope Deferred” series helps us with Biblical guidance when our hopes, dreams, plans, become deferred, that is delayed for a period of time, or…

Cleopas’ Story

This Sunday is Easter Sunday, so I thought we would do a special message on the resurrection of Jesus and the initial responses that Sunday when Jesus arose from the dead.  There is a very interesting, neat episode that takes place with 2 disciples on the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus.  Our text for this…

Jesus or Judgment?

This Sunday is Palm Sunday, so I thought we would break away from our Hope Deferred series to talk about the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem on a humble donkey.  Our text for this story is in Luke 19:29-44 where Luke presents the background, and the story, as well as the numerous responses to…
