10/18/20 Mark 10:35-45 “Are You To the Right or To the Left?” This was one of those weeks where I have had a real hard time to get the sermon started. Sometimes I wish I had a can of ether like we used to have in...
10/11/20 Job 23:1-9, 16-17 “Where Is God?” Last weekend, Sharon and I were on the run a lot. By the time Monday afternoon rolled around we were both tired. I think that we had a bunch of fun and hopefully we did some good. But we...
10/4/20 Job 1:1, 2:1-10 “Hard Times” This is approximately the week that we used to go out with the youth group and be homeless and hungry. I thought that when I started this week, I would have look pretty hard to find a Scripture to fit...
9/27/20 James 5:13-20 “Pray It and Believe It” I have talked with quite a few pastors in the last few years and many of them will tell me about writers’ block, pastor style. This happens when we just cannot think of a thing to say. Now you all know...
9/20/20 James 3:13-18 “The Best Deal Around!” I think that this is the fourth Sunday that we have looked into the book of James. There are a couple of things worth mentioning about the book as a whole before we get into today’s lesson. The first...
9/13/20 James 3:1-13 “Two Ears, One Mouth!” This is always a fun time of year when I can start to welcome people back from their summer vacations. Have you ever noticed how even if you take a vacation or the summer off, life doesn’t take time...
9/6/20 James 2:1-13 “Warnings and Angels” I think that it is interesting how sometimes after I give a sermon on a certain topic, that I will open the paper, or hear on the radio or be involved in a conversation that is the exact point of...
8/30/20 James 1:17-27 “Bobblehead Jesus or Loving Your Enemy?” I think that there is a nasty trend in this country to try to package Jesus in a way that is pleasing to everyone. I went on the internet the other day and this is what I...
8/23/20 Ephesians 6:10-20 “Jesus Wins! Satan Loses!” In our modern world we get to see just about everything that happens, when it happens. Our news coverage has truly made the world smaller. Some of the things we get to see firsthand are starvation around the world,...
8/16/20 Ephesians 5:15-20 “You Can Have 100 Flavors of Ice Cream!” This has been a real good week for us. We had a birthday in our family plus our anniversary. So, it was a fun week. I remember once when I got to do the story...
