| The Cross and the Crowd |
| Whether they choose to believe it or not - the entire world is impacted by the cross. Every man can find himself somewhere in the crowd at the foot of the cross - except, of course, the One who was on the cross. |
| Taking Jesus Home |
| Father's Day 2008 - This messages uses the story of Jairus to encourage fathers to take Jesus home with them to their family. Nobody has the power to change a home like a man that will ask Jesus to save his family. |
| Five Healings |
| Jesus died to forgive us. But if his death was all that was needed - why did he suffer? Jesus suffered so that we could be healed! This message examined five healings that were earned by his suffering, according to Isaiah 53:4-5 |
| Revolution |
| Independence Day Weekend 2008 - A call to arms... Not against our government, by any means - but against the powers of darkness that would oppress our nation, our community, our family. Do we have any fighters present? Relies heavily on the story of Nehemia and the rebuilding of the walls for illlustration. |
| Discerning the Lord's Body |
| A closer look at the Lord's Supper - or the practice of communion. What is the Lord's Supper, and how are we to obey Pauls instruction to avoid taking it in an unworthy manner? The key is in discerning the Lord's body. |
| Planted - Living the Effective Life |
| Based on Psalms 1:1-.3, this message encourages the believer to allow God to do in their lives what they cannot do for themselves. The Psalmist contrasts activities that will prevent blessing with those that invite blessing. |
| The Power of Agreement |
| Brief outline of my message preceding a 100-day prayer campaign at our church. God has called us to agree with each other in prayer. |
| Give Me One More Year |
| New Year 2008 - This message explores the parable of the gardener in the vineyard. When the master wanted to cut down an unfruitful fig tree, the gardener pleaded for one more year. Jesus is the gardener, I am the tree. He wants to work on the soil of my life for one more year... In another sense, as a pastor - I am the gardener, pleading for one more year. |
| Catalyst |
| Another message from the story of David and Goliath. David's victory was not the only victory that day, his was just the first. David did not win the battle alone - he just got things started. God not looking for a one-man-band, but he is looking for a catalyst - someone that will step out first. |
| I See Men as Trees Walking |
| One time in scripture Jesus performed a miracle in someone's life that was not complete. Why? This message encourages believers to continue trusting Jesus, even though the miracle he is working in our lives, in our families, in our church - is not yet complete. I'm not what I was, thanks to Jesus - but I'm not what I will be, either! I see - men as trees... |
