MARK 6:7-13

June 26, 2016   So this week, my daughters began working for Operation Christmas Child at Samaritan’s Purse.  I’m pretty excited about that since I’m a huge fan of OCC.  You see, OCC annually distributes millions of shoeboxes filled with gifts for children around the world – as an entrée to introduce them to the […]

MARK 6:1-6

June 19, 2016   Through personal experience and years of ministry, I’ve discovered being raised in a Christian nation, or being raised in a Christian family, has some unique challenges. For example, on the one hand, I’ve talked to many who’ve told me – I can’t remember not believing in Jesus. I was brought to […]

MARK 5:25-34

 June 12, 2016   Held annually since 1958, the FedEx St. Jude Classic is a PGA golf tournament held in Memphis, Tennessee.  Memphis, of course, because that’s where the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is located.  That very tournament is being held this weekend – June 9-12 –its final day being today.  Stay with me […]

MARK 5:21-24, 35-43

  June 5, 2016   I’ve been in ministry for about 30 years now, and in that time, I’ve had the opportunity to perform a number of funerals. Now, nowhere in the Bible can you find it’s a pastor’s job to bury, or for that matter, marry people, the responsibility has just fallen our way. […]

MARK 5:14-20

May 15, 2016   This morning, we’re going to finish the story we began last week – the exorcism of legion from the naked, disfigured, strong, crazy, demon-possessed man. Now, you’re perhaps surprised to hear that – you’re thinking, what more could you possibly have to say – last week was just a bunch of […]

MARK 5:1-13

May 8, 2016   We return this morning to our study of the Gospel of Mark. We remember the time was early in Jesus’ ministry. He had just called the Twelve to Himself and had begun to teach them the truths of the kingdom of God. They knew He was different from the beginning. When […]

VOLUNTEER FAIR # 2 – MISC TEXTS

May 1, 2016   Today, if I wanted to write a letter to someone in the world, this world of almost 7 and a half billion people, it would only take about six identifying criteria for that letter to be delivered. Let me explain. Let’s say I was writing to someone living in the United […]

VOLUNTEER FAIR – MISC TEXTS

April 24, 2016   You know that I typically preach verse-by-verse through a book. So for example, we are currently studying the Gospel of Mark together. But this week and next, we’re taking a break from Mark to focus on volunteering – on serving. Identifying our passions and gifts and skills and experiences, rolling them […]

MARK 4:35-41

April 17, 2016   There have been lots of sleep studies done through the years – to include, how much sleep a person actually needs. Did you know, for example, there is a National Sleep Foundation? I’d never heard of it, but they provide the following chart to answer the question, how much sleep do […]
