Nobody Likes Me – Everybody Hates Me – I Guess I’ll Eat Some Worms | Genesis 42:26-38

Sermon, Video

All these things are against me, Jacob cried out. Can you believe that such an assertion
could come from the lips of a person who supposedly trusted God? Yet, how often we
feel exactly as Jacob! He had become convinced that everything had worked counter
to his longings, when in fact, everything had happened directly in his favor. The same
is true for you. This ancient story rushes headlong into our lives and changes
everything. Don’t doubt it.

Sermon, Video

Do you want to get the most ever out of Christmas? Then forget – at least for a while – what’s out there to buy for others, or what’s out there for others to buy for us, and spend time focusing on the people who normally cross our paths during the Christmas holidays. Paul shows us exactly how to make that happen. Prepare yourself for something extraordinary.

Real Religion | James 1:26-27

Sermon, Video

I have a distaste for the word religion. In fact, I object to the use of the term, especially when it comes to Christianity. Yet, James used the words religion and/or religious three times in two consecutive verses. Yikes! What do you think he meant? Is Christianity nothing more than a religion? Are you religious, and is being religious enough? I wonder. Do you?

It Don’t Take a Rocket Scientist | Psalm 138

Sermon, Video

Did you know that the habit of offering thanksgiving to God can produce mental and
emotional healing? Someone has said that truly grateful people bubble and overflow,
bringing refreshment not only to others but to themselves. Perhaps it’s time to let
loose with a celebration of thanksgiving. Someone just might discover that life is
worth living well – and that someone just might be you.

Git-R-Done | Genesis 41:37-52

Sermon, Video

The secret of power is the secret of character, says Griffith Thomas, and the secret of character is the indwelling of God. Though Pharaoh was a pagan he recognized in Joseph a man who communed with a high and mighty divine being. When we live with God, people know it! When we live with God, our whole being is affected. Because he lived with God, Joseph became a person who could git-r-done! We can be that person too.
