The most insanely daring thing that any man can do, the most exceedingly foolish thing any man can do, the most desperately wicked thing that any man can do, is...

This year's Easter message. What we should know and what we should do.

This is the text of a multimedia message I gave to my church this past Friday. It presents the question, "What's so good about Good Friday?" and brings the congregation through a reflective journey of exactly what it is that we remember on this day.

Prayer is not given to us as a way to present our demands to God! Prayer is not like presenting our Christmas wish list to Santa Claus. Prayer is all about our relationship to God, not about getting what we want.

I believe that scripture teaches that broken relationships are a great hindrance to prayer being heard by God - both on the vertical level (our relationship with God) and the horizontal level (our relationship with each other)...

As I shared in the message, "The Secret to Powerlessness" - one of the biggest reasons for unanswered prayer is that we don't pray! In this introductory message to the series, "When God doesn't Answer Prayer" we take a look at some other obstacles that get in the way of our pursuing prayer as a lifestyle

Seven short words (KJV) found in the letter the apostle James wrote to the church provide great insight into the powerlessness that is often observed in churches and Christian lives today.

The Bible teaches about a unique kind of hope that is never a wish. It is always based upon an absolute certainty. You can hope for these things with the utter confidence that they will happen. Its the kind of hope that the Wise Men of the Nativity Story had. The hope of the Wise Men was based upon what God had promised. And, since god always fulfills His promises, we can look forward to it with absolute hope.

In this third message of the series I zero in on "The Shepherd Incident". Why would God choose to announce such a significant birth to seemingly insignificant shepherds outside of town?

In this second message of the series, "The Nativity Story", I look at the incredible faith of Mary. A faith that has much to teach us about the fact that faith isn't age-dependent, positions us to be part of th greatest event in all human history, and means "do what God says" regardless of the cost.
