REWARDS OF COMMITMENT -- Revelation 22:12-13

2025/02/23

As we begin this last message on commitment we need to be reminded of what it means to be committed. COMMITMENT is “an agreement, a pledge to do something in the future. It is the state of being obligated." So, “ to commit” has the idea of a duty, or a responsibility - faithfulness. As it has pertained to these messages, “commitment” refers to obligating ourselves to Christ and to the will of God without hesitation and without reservation. And I will say again that I believe lack of commitment is

CHRIST’S CALL TO COMMITMENT -- Luke 14:26-27

It seems that while there is more church activity today (more preaching, more internet sermons, more missionaries, more church websites, etc.) there is more crime, more perversion, more ungodliness . . . and more churches closing their doors each year. According to Lifeway Research, 4,500 churches closed in the United States in 2019, while only 3,000 new ones opened. This trend of more closures than openings has continued for a long time, and it is predicted that even more churches will close in

ABSOLUTE SURRENDER -- Genesis 22:1-14

2025/02/09

As a pastor and as a preacher of the Word of God, I often fear that, if we are not very careful, our “worship” of God will become mere habit. We can become mechanical in our worship - prayer, song, announcements, song, prayer, offering, song, message, song, prayer . . . GO HOME! We should not “come to church” to be put in the mood to worship, but when we come to church we are to bring our worship with us and offer it to God. In the Old Testament the Jews did not come to the temple to “get a lamb” to

DON’T GET CONFORTABLE! -- II Kings 6:24-30, 7:1-8

Did you ever say those words to anyone? (COMFORTABLE = [Oxford Languages Dictionary] - “providing physical ease and relaxation.” Webster says it means “providing physical comfort; physically at ease.” Synonyms are: cozy, snug, easy, restful. But Webster’s also has this note: Comfortable “applies to anything that encourages serenity, well-being, or (the one that caught my eye) complacency. I believe the two biggest faults of God’s people today are apathy (lack of interest) and complacency. We are

JESUS -- Colossians 1:9-19

2025/01/26

What kind of picture do you use as a PowerPoint background when you are sharing a message about Jesus? We do not know what Jesus looked like. We just know that Isaiah said of Him (53:2,3): “. . . he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. (3) . . . and we hid as it were our faces from him . . . ” That doesn’t much sound like the paintings of Jesus we see today, does it? By the way, the background for this message is a mosaic that was

THE CHURCH THAT SHARED THEIR FAITH -- I Thessalonians...

I believe the greatest disobedience toward God, and toward our Lord Jesus Christ by His churches today is the failure to witness of Him to a lost and dying world. I believe there are several reasons for this, and at the outset of this message I want to name a few. The first and foremost reason, I believe, is fear. 1. Fear of opposition - that someone might just be opposed to our wanting to talk to them about their sin, their sinfulness, their lost condition, and their need of a Savior. 2. The second

THE PRINCIPLES OF UNDENIABLE PRAYER -- James 4:1-10

Preach The Word ·

2025/01/12

We are going to look at prayer this morning. Prayer is without a doubt the most powerful tool that a child of God has to get things done for his Lord. Prayer can go where we cannot go. Prayer can be offered anytime, from anywhere, and can reach any place. Prayer can touch lives that we cannot touch (because it enlists the power of Almighty God). Prayer is direct communication with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Timothy 2:5: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man

DEALING WITH TEMPTATION -- Luke 4:1-13

2025/01/05

I realize this may be a strange sort of message to begin a new year, but what could be better than to enter the new year armed against the wiles and devices of the devil. Not a one of us knows what will happen in our lives in the year to come. I am pretty sure that we all had things happen to us or in our lives in 2024 that we never would have imagined at the beginning of that year. What will this year bring? Who but God knows? We will, no doubt, have some blessings, and we will have some

PREPARING FOR SPIRITUAL VICTORY IN THE NEW YEAR --...

The book of Joshua is about the people of God getting what the Lord has for them. It is about moving out of the past and past difficulties into peace and blessings. It is about battles and victory. It is about the battles Israel faced in order to claim that promise from God. It is about warfare, painful defeats, suffering, and great victories. It has much to teach us about obtaining spiritual victory in our lives. After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, Israel was about to take possession of

There are many kinds of gift givers this time of year. There are those for whom “just anything will do, as long as I get them something.” There are those who are the “askers.” They ask, “What do you want for Christmas?” then get it. There are those who give thought and search high and low for the “perfect” Christmas gift. If you are in that third category, you can stop searching for the “perfect” gift. It has already been given. God, as to His character and nature is love -- I John 4:7-8: “Beloved,

2024/12/15

This morning I want to share what I call "The Christmas Story As You Have Never Heard It." Often, when we think of the “Christmas story” we start somewhere in the middle or near the end. However, the story has its roots and its beginnings long before what we call the traditional story. The “Christmas story” does not begin in the city of Bethlehem, nor does it begin in with a couple named Joseph and Mary. The “Christmas story” actually begins before the creation of the universe. I Peter 1:18-20 says,

WE FAINT NOT -- II Corinthians 4:1-6

The book of II Corinthians is a book of encouragement. Paul certainly had reason to get discouraged. In II Corinthians 11:23-28 he tells us: “Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. (25) Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; (26) In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the

THE COMING OF THE DAY OF THE LORD -- II Peter 3:1-12

Preach The Word ·

2024/12/01

The term “day of the Lord” is used several different ways in the Scriptures. It can refer to the Lord’s day -- Sunday. Or, it can speak of the time of the rapture, the Millenial Reign of Christ, etc. Or, it may speak of that time of God’s great and terrible wrath upon the earth and all that live on it. Here Peter uses it to refer to just that. In light of present persecutions, he reminds believers that God’s judgment is yet to come upon this earth. Vs. 10 says, "But the day of the Lord will come as

ABOUNDING WITH THANKSGIVING! -- Psalm 107:1-2, 21-22

2024/11/24

In scrolling around on several internet sites I saw the question, “Is Thanksgiving a Christian holiday?” George Washington’s first Thanksgiving proclamation was issued on October 3, 1789 acknowledged God and His provision, providence, and protection of this nation. The Bible is full of examples of and admonitions to God’s people to offer thanksgiving to Him. This is the theme of many of the psalms. Psalm 50:14: “Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High . . . ” Psalm 69:30: “I

Finish this sentence for me. “Jesus is _____________.” This morning we are going to consider the lordship of Jesus. Back in the 1970s and 80s at what I believe was the height of the Charismatic Movement in America you could hear and see all over the place signs and stickers that said “Jesus is Lord!” Jesus would love to be truly recognized and followed as Lord over this city or that city, but just repeating those words will not make it so. Have you ever encountered those people who may refer to Him

I want to center my thoughts today on vs. 16: “. . . yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” We spend a lot of time “dressing up” the outward man which Paul says is perishing. Many have special diets, go to gymns, don't eat meat, etc. But regardless of all of that, the outward man, the flesh, is dying and will eventually die. In the meantime, many, if not most, who profess Christ as Savior today are living “get by” lives. They are not actively working against the Lord. But they are not actively

LEAPFROG EVANGELISM -- ACTS 1:1-11

2024/11/03

For four hundred years there was silence, with no word from God from Malachi to Matthew. In Amos 8:11 God had warned them of this time: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord . . . ” I believe we are facing a similar famine today from preachers who won’t preach the Word and believers who won’t share the Word. But then Jesus came, not as the spoken Word but as the Living

The tabernacle was the Israelites’ place of worship in the wilderness as they were leaving Egypt and heading for the Promise Land. It was a temporary place of worship. When they settled in the land that God gave them, under King Solomon they built a permanent place of worship called the Temple. In I Corinthians 3:16 God said to the church at Corinth (and every true New Testament church) through Paul, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” In the Old

As I have mentioned many times from this pulpit often the most difficult part of preparing a message is determining what God would have me share with you each week. I DO NOT want to preach what I want to preach. I DO NOT want to preach simply to fill up the time from the end of the song service to the final prayer. It is my desire to share the appropriate message to the appropriate people at the appropriate time. I never know from week to week who will be present in the services and what word of

I am concerned about our nation! I have been praying about the upcoming election. At times (sometimes I feel alone is this type of praying) I have wondered, “Can just one praying person change things?” The Bible has many accounts of the power of one dedicated, praying child of God which demonstrate to us the great power that is available to believers. Moses heard from God at a burning bush, went back to Egypt, and was used of God to lead His people out of bondage. Elijah was used of God to stand
