10/16/22 John 4:19-26 “Passionate Worship” I would like to begin today with a question. Have you ever been rolling along in life, doing things the way you always do them, and someone talks you into trying to do something a little different or a little new? ...
10/9/22 Romans 15:1-9 “Radical Hospitality” I’m going to start a sermon series today on helping us to be more fruitful in our lives and in our church. I normally don’t do series preaching because I usually don’t feel qualified to think that I know what we...
10/2/22 Exodus 20:1-20 “The Ten Commandments and Life!” I was doing a dangerous activity this week. I was thinking. Look out! Anyway, I was thinking about all the things that we do that are dangerous and life threatening. I was thinking about how we have to...
9/25/22 Matthew 21:23-32 “Give Me Just 5 More Minutes!” Every once in a while, I will be cruising along doing something and I get this nagging feeling that something is not right. This especially happens when I put together some furniture that comes in pieces in...

9/4/22 Romans 13:8-14 “Wake Up!” I probably shouldn’t spend a lot of time thinking because when I do, I sometimes think of all the things in the world that are wrong. You all know the list. Everywhere you look there are things that could be fixed...
8/28/22 Romans 12:9-21 “A Heaping Helping of Jesus” I remember a few years back when I was asked to do a funeral by a pastor who was on vacation. It was a different denomination but the same community. I was honored to be able to do...
8/21/22 Exodus 1:8-2:10 “You Are Living a Chain of Events” I think that I can safely say that this is the time of year that many of us dread. Some of us dread it because this is the wind down time for the summer. It seems...
8/14/22 Matthew 15:21-28 “Jesus Is the Heart of Worship” I remember that I once happened across a very interesting article about why the churches today and in the future will fail and it is not for any of the reasons that you might think. I don’t...
