Getting to Know the Enemy
Introduction: Some of you may be familiar with a book that has been a best seller for many years called The Art of War by a man named Sun Tzu. Believe it or not, this work is studied even by war strategists today, even though it was written over 2,000 years ago. Sun Tzu wrote, All warfare is…

Grieving for the Lost

Can You Find a Man?
Introduction: Trip to Millegeville A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Conner Flannery believed in what she called a “Christ-haunted South” where religion was strong, but the land was full of hypocrites.

It Is Finished

Would You Deny Him?

What to Do When Someone's After You
Introduction I occasionally have what I call a fat person dream. These are little dreams that remind me to get in shape and stay in shape. I will dream that someone is chasing me and I am running as fast as I can to try to get away. Often I will not get away or will find myself panting, only to...

Not My Will But Yours

What Keeps You Up at Night?
Introduction What keeps you up at night? Is it stress? Anxiety? Anger? Guilt? I have often heard the old joke where someone will ask a person, “How do you sleep so well at night?” and the reply is, “A peaceful conscience!” Perhaps that is true of us tonight. As we read Psalm 4 , we need to keep…
