Nov. 22, 2020 John 18:33-37 “Jesus Is Truth!” In our modern world we don’t have very many kings any more. Instead, we have governments that are democratic, socialistic, communistic and dictatoristic. We seem to feel that these are much better ways than have a family run...
11/15/20 Mark 13:1-8 “Not End Times but Beginning Times?” I think that most of you know that I really love being a pastor. However, there are times when I have to do things that I really don’t care to do. Today we will be talking about...
11/8/20 Mark 12:38-44 “Giving-Trusting Jesus!” Our society has really changed in nearly 70 years that I have been around. I was raised so that I would always answer the phone. I get nervous when it rings and rings. I would say that isn’t always the case...
11/1/20 Mark 12:28-34 “Standing from a Wheel Chair!” Sometimes being a pastor has all sorts of different unscheduled events. This doesn’t happen much anymore but I used to get phone calls with all sorts of questions. One time I had a fellow talk for 45 minutes...
10/25/20 Mark 10:46-52 “Are You Blind?” It has been my experience that the longer I know someone, the better I get to know them on a more personal basis. I think this is a pretty safe statement and, of course, there are exceptions. Over the years...
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...
