I’m sure that I would have …

THE BLESSING OF THE LORDGenesis 39 “So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.” If you take out the verses that spoke of God being with Joseph, blessing Potiphar’s household and granting Joseph success, you will read a …

I preached this in church yesterday. Was not the easiest to prepare as I had too much to say to the church. Not the easiest text to grasp as well but I think John’s Gospel casts an important light to our understanding of the Gospel. Good morning. We are in the midst of a series …

SIN AND FORGIVENESSMatthew 18 “If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge …

Putting together this sermon was tough going, mainly because I struggled to come to a conclusion that is worth taking home and in the end I ran out of time and energy. Interestingly, it was one of the better received sermons I had preached in the church. One never knows. Good morning. We are in …

THE LITTLE ONESMatthew 18 “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Jesus’ response to the disciples’ question was classic: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in …

WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG2 Corinthians 11 and 12 “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
