Sermon – “The Renewing of Your Mind”
The Renewing of Your Mind Romans 12:1-2 Last June, I preached from this passage, focusing on the first verse – A Living Sacrifice Today I want to focus on the second verse. My reason for choosing this text is that phrase: the renewing of your mind. I’ll be honest with you for a second. The…...

Sermon – “Perfect Peace”
Perfect PeaceIsaiah 26:1-6 The Bible you hold this morning is a powerful weapon.Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and...

Sermon – God’s Justice
God’s JusticeEzekiel 18 When I started the Daily Bible Guide emails, I had many purposes in mind.My primary reason was to help people read through their Bibles and understand what they were reading.Another reason was that it would force me to study through every book of the Bible in a way I had…

Sermon – “City on a Hill”
City on a Hill (2) Matthew 5:13-16 I try very hard to not preach the same message twice. I do it occasionally, maybe once a year or less. Today, I am going to revisit a message I preached on September 30, 2018. I had not quite finished my first full year as pastor here at… Continue reading Sermon…

Sermon – “Wait, There’s More”
Wait, There’s More Isaiah 41:21-29 I want to highlight a thought this morning that is repeated a few times in this section of Isaiah. The overall theme here is the restoration of Israel, primarily from the Babylonian Captivity. There are also many elements where it sees beyond that to the End...
-
Sermon – “Let Us Reason Together”
Let Us Reason Together Isaiah 1:1-20 I struggled with what to preach this morning, mainly because of my own stubbornness. Sometimes I will have a sermon idea that I dismiss because it is something that appeals to me but I fear it will not make a good message. That happened with this sermon.…

Sermon – “What Does It Mean to Fear God?”
What Does It Mean to Fear God? Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 I was curious to know how many times I have preached this year from passages in that week’s daily Bible reading schedule. I believe it to be about 1/3 of the time. I looked it up and today is the 31st Sunday of the year. Glancing through…...
-
Sermon – “The Cry of Wisdom”
The Cry of Wisdom Proverbs 8 In our daily Bible reading we are now in the book of Proverbs. This book is a collection of wise sayinågs and observations. It is the most practical book in the Bible. By way of introduction I have a few things I want to establish. First, I do believe Solomon wrote…

Sermon – “Thy Kingdom Come”
Thy Kingdom Come Matthew 6:5-15 Yesterday, we celebrated a tremendous milestone – 250 years of the American experiment. 250 years of self-rule. No monarch. No dictator. Government by the people and for the people. A nation built by God-fearing men for God-fearing people. I love America. I love…

Sermon – “The Savior’s Psalm of Suffering”
The Savior’s Psalm of Suffering Psalm 22 WAIT TO READ In a few minutes we will be observing the Lord’s Supper. That night almost 2,000 years ago, our Lord took the simple elements of bread and wine and left us with a reminder of what He was about to do for us. He broke bread – a… Continue reading...
-
Sermon – “O Taste and See”
O Taste and See Psalm 34 Psalm 34 has a couple of my favorite verses in it. The whole thing is good, but there are couple of diamonds in the setting that sparkle a little brighter than the others in my eyes. Let me go through these verses quickly so you can see them in… Continue reading Sermon –…

Sermon – “The Price of Gold”
The Price of Gold Job 23 If you have been keeping up with your daily Bible reading, we are in the Book of Job right now. I have thoroughly enjoyed digging into it, but also looking forward to finishing it in a couple of days. It is a difficult book to go through. I do not pretend… Continue…

Sermon – “Overcoming Opposition”
Overcoming Opposition Nehemiah 2:1-11 I have spoken to so many people these past few weeks that just seem to be having a harder time than usual. It is as if the world is a little gloomier, and the burdens we carry are a little heavier. There are some out there that would tell you that is because…...
-
Sermon – “Neither Do I Condemn Thee”
Neither Do I Condemn Thee John 8:1-11 I want to begin by noting that this text is controversial. Some throughout history have feared that it excused or even promoted adultery. That is utterly ridiculous – I hope that when we are finished today you will understand why that is. The other reason it…

Sermon – “The Cost of Serving God”
The Cost of Serving God II Samuel 24:18-25 Our text this morning comes at the close of one of the darkest events in David’s life. Most would say it was his affair with Bathsheba, and there other contenders we could discuss. But if you notice, of all the sins that David committed, the one that is...
-
Sermon – “Wanderlust”
Wanderlust Hebrews 11:8-16 One of the greatest treasures in American literature is a series of books sharing stories and adventures of growing up as a pioneer. Very much romanticized for her audience, Laura Ingalls Wilder told of how her father moved their family around the western frontier of...
-
Sermon – “The King Who Struck Out”
The King Who Struck Out Deuteronomy 17:14-20 Our text today is a remarkable passage. God had promised Abraham that there would be kings among his descendants: Gen 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. But as Moses is…
more -
Sermon – “Dead Man Walking”
Dead Man Walking Genesis 22 Our text this morning is not a traditional Easter text. There are some today that say that since Christ has died and risen that the Old Testament is obsolete. They say that it is a waste of time to study anything before the Gospels. It is a profoundly stupid thing to…
more -
Sermon – “Why We Observe The Lord’s Supper”
Why We Observe the Lord’s Supper Colossians 2:6-23 Our text this morning may seem an odd one for a day that we observe the Lord’s Supper. The reason I am using this text is because it fits well many of the ideas I want to discuss. I do not know exactly when Paul visited this… Continue reading...
-
Sermon – “Faint Yet Pursuing”
Faint Yet Pursuing Judges 8:4 Judges chapter 8 is not nearly as well remembered as chapters 6 or 7. I must confess, as I have only been a few days into Judges for the daily Bible reading that there is quite a bit that I honestly did not remember. We remember some of the highest highs and lowest...
-
Sermon – “Monuments”
Monuments Joshua 4 Our text today we find two monuments erected. The nation of Israel had been delivered by God from slavery in Egypt 40 years before this. God had told them that if they would trust Him that He would lead them to the land promised to Abraham. Of course, Israel proved unfaithful...
-
Sermon – “The Old Landmarks”
The Old Landmarks Deuteronomy 19:14 A while back, when we were looking at putting in the new entrance and driveway here at the church, we ran across a little problem. We did not know where the property markers were along the highway. Nowadays, you pay a surveyor to go out and mark the corners of...
-
Sermon – “The Eleventh Commandment”
The Eleventh Commandment John 13:31-35 The old rabbis calculated that there are 613 commandments in the Law of Moses. As we have been reading through them for our daily Scripture reading, it seems like there are ten times that! When God gave Israel His Law at Sinai, He began with the reason they...
-
Sermon – “Water in the Wilderness”
Water in the Wilderness Psalm 78:12-20 Our text this morning is from the remarkable 78th Psalm. This Psalm is a history lesson for the nation of Israel. It rehearses many of the events of The Exodus and the Wilderness Wanderings of Israel. I would highly recommend keeping it handy when you read...
-
Sermon – “Blessed Are They That Mourn”
Blessed Are They That Mourn Matthew 5:1-12 I want to preach a pastoral message to you this morning. I really struggled coming to a decision on what to preach. The past few weeks I have found a text from the daily Bible reading that arrested my attention. If you have just finished Leviticus with…
more -
Sermon – “Our High Priest”
Our High Priest Leviticus 10:1-7, 16-20 If you are keeping up with your daily Bible reading, you probably read this a few days ago. At the very beginning of the ministry of the Jewish priesthood, the priests failed. We saw the Tabernacle constructed in the last chapter of Exodus, giving the…
more -
Sermon – “God’s Workmen”
God’s Workmen Exodus 31:1-11 If you have been keeping up with your daily Bible reading, you should have read this passage just a few days ago. It is easily overlooked by the details of the Tabernacle design before it and the incident with the golden calf after it. To get the context, I think you...
-
Sermon – “He Was Gathered To His People”
He Was Gathered To His People Genesis 25:7-10 I find it interesting what people put into obituaries. You can tell not just a lot about the deceased but also about the family they leave behind. Sometimes there are family feuds going on and parts of the family are not even mentioned. Sometimes...
-
Sermon – “The Other Woman At Well”
The Other Woman At The Well John 4:1-10 I hope that our text this morning is a familiar one to you. I have preached from it here at least once and taught lessons from it at least twice. The ancient Jews despised Samaria and would often travel around it. But Christ told His disciples that……

Sermon – “Faith in Focus”
Faith in Focus Joshua 14:6-15 How many of you ever played with a water hose growing up? I don’t know how many times I turned the water hose on that was in front of our house. We used that for everything. That was our water fountain when we were playing outside. We’d turn it on and make mud to…

Sermon – “A New Start in a New Year”
A New Start in a New Year Proverbs 16:3 I want to be practical this morning. Our text is from the single most practical book of the Bible. King Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived. After he became king he went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices to the Lord. God appeared to him, and did something...
-
Sermon – “Heavenly Gift Exchange”
A Heavenly Gift Exchange When Heaven Met Earth Luke 2:1-20 One of the highlights of the Christmas season is the exchanging of gifts. There is so much joy to be found in finding that perfect gift for a loved one. There is so much fun to be found in a “white elephant” gift exchange. There is so…

Sermon – “Ways to Avoid a Blue Christmas”
Ways to Avoid a Blue Christmas Isaiah 61:1-3 I want to speak much more practically than is my habit at Christmas. Last year when I was putting together my book of Christmas sermons, I felt like I kept going back to the prophecies about Christ’s coming. Even if I was not intending to preach on…
more -
Sermon – “When Was Jesus Born?”
When Was Jesus Born? Luke 2:1-7 I have titled this sermon, “When Was Jesus Born?” You will note that it is not, “Was Jesus Born?” There is no reason at all to doubt that a baby was born some 2,000 years ago whose life and teachings turned the world upside down. It is as close to historical fact…

Sermon – “Don’t Wait to Open Your Presents!”
Don’t Wait To Open Your Presents! James 1:17 With the passing of Thanksgiving, we have officially begun the Christmas season. I do not know how many of you overachievers have already bought your Christmas presents – I doubt very many. Perhaps some of you picked up some of those can’t miss Black...
-
Sermon – “Be Thankful”
Be Thankful Colossians 3:12-17 There are literally dozens of verses we could turn to examine the subject of thanksgiving. We could talk about the sacrifice of thanksgiving in Leviticus 7. We could see the many calls to be thankful in the Psalms. We have in the New Testament multiple positive...
-
Sermon – “A Good Soldier”
A Good Soldier II Timothy 2:1-13 This Tuesday is a special day. Our nation marks this day as a special day of remembrance and honor for those who have served our great nation in the Armed Forces. The date is significant – November 11. On that date in 1919 the Armistice went into effect that…
more -
Sermon – “Our Daily Bread”
Our Daily Bread Matthew 6:9-13 I hope that our text this morning is quite familiar to you. I was a little kid in Sunday School when I memorized these words. Often we call it “the Lord’s Prayer” I think it is more accurately called the Model Prayer. It appears twice in Scripture Here in Matthew...
-
Sermon – “The Church and Its Pastor”
The Church and Its Pastor I Peter 5:1-5 I am going to speak on a subject I honestly have avoided over the past eight years. I mean that, too. I have a set of notes I put together on the subject of the church that I taught through at Friendship Baptist before I came here.… Continue reading Sermon…

Sermon – “The Goodness of God”
The Goodness of God Psalm 103 Perhaps the greatest fact in all the universe is that God is good. He does not just do good things, He IS good. There is a difference there. Bad people can do good sometimes, yet their hearts remain corrupt. But God does good because He IS good. This fact… Continue...
-
Sermon – “A Visit to the Spiritual Eye Doctor”
A Visit to the Spiritual Eye Doctor Mark 8:22-26 I am speaking this morning from a passage that has long baffled me. I believe it is a singular example of Christ healing a person, yet not completely healing them at first. As for the timing of the event, this is likely the summer, less than a year...
-
Sermon – “Be Not Afraid”
Be Not Afraid Acts 18:1-17 I love to study the life of Paul. I believe him to be the greatest Christian to ever live. We have in Christ a perfect example to follow. But we as sinful men will never attain this example. But we have in Paul an attainable example to follow. He was a man greatly…...
-
Sermon – “The Enemies of Missions”
Enemies of Missions Acts 13:1-12 Our text this morning is the account of the very beginning of Paul’s missionary travels. We have accounts of three missionary journeys in the book of Acts along with his perilous journey to Rome. Some Bible scholars think that he may have made another journey or…
