| TELL ME YOUR NAME(Begin A Relationship Adventure) |
| This morning, I had a most unusual reminder from the Holy Spirit. On the way to my office here at the church, I stopped by the dry cleaners that I patronize. As usual, I pulled my vehicle to the curb and ran in for a quick drop-off. The petite lady from Korea who waited on me said “Good morning” to which I responded. I then noticed that she took the ticket and, without asking me, began writing my name down. It was at that moment that I realized that I had been coming to the same dry cleaners so often that she had come to know my name. It gave me a great feeling as I grabbed the ticket and was about to walk quickly out to my vehicle. At that moment I felt the Holy Spirit ask me the question, “Do you know who she is? I died for her.” The fact was I didn’t know because I had never bothered to ask! The sad thing for me was the fact that when I said “TELL ME YOUR NAME”, she had a surprised look on her face as if to say ‘people generally never care enough to ask’! |
| The Cross and the Crowd |
| Whether they choose to believe it or not - the entire world is impacted by the cross. Every man can find himself somewhere in the crowd at the foot of the cross - except, of course, the One who was on the cross. |
| Taking Jesus Home |
| Father's Day 2008 - This messages uses the story of Jairus to encourage fathers to take Jesus home with them to their family. Nobody has the power to change a home like a man that will ask Jesus to save his family. |
| Five Healings |
| Jesus died to forgive us. But if his death was all that was needed - why did he suffer? Jesus suffered so that we could be healed! This message examined five healings that were earned by his suffering, according to Isaiah 53:4-5 |
| Revolution |
| Independence Day Weekend 2008 - A call to arms... Not against our government, by any means - but against the powers of darkness that would oppress our nation, our community, our family. Do we have any fighters present? Relies heavily on the story of Nehemia and the rebuilding of the walls for illlustration. |
| Discerning the Lord's Body |
| A closer look at the Lord's Supper - or the practice of communion. What is the Lord's Supper, and how are we to obey Pauls instruction to avoid taking it in an unworthy manner? The key is in discerning the Lord's body. |
| Planted - Living the Effective Life |
| Based on Psalms 1:1-.3, this message encourages the believer to allow God to do in their lives what they cannot do for themselves. The Psalmist contrasts activities that will prevent blessing with those that invite blessing. |
| The Power of Agreement |
| Brief outline of my message preceding a 100-day prayer campaign at our church. God has called us to agree with each other in prayer. |
| Give Me One More Year |
| New Year 2008 - This message explores the parable of the gardener in the vineyard. When the master wanted to cut down an unfruitful fig tree, the gardener pleaded for one more year. Jesus is the gardener, I am the tree. He wants to work on the soil of my life for one more year... In another sense, as a pastor - I am the gardener, pleading for one more year. |
| Catalyst |
| Another message from the story of David and Goliath. David's victory was not the only victory that day, his was just the first. David did not win the battle alone - he just got things started. God not looking for a one-man-band, but he is looking for a catalyst - someone that will step out first. |

REPUBLICANS PLAYING RELIGION CARD MAY END WITH LOSING HAND
WASHINGTON -- Glenn Beck is a talented huckster, a shrewd survivor who may be in the middle of another self-reinvention. This time, he seems bent on remaking himself as one of the oldest of the stock all-American characters: the Elmer Gantry-like preacher-performer. |

Persecuting a Conciliator
If a YMCA or a YMHA were planned for 51 Park Place in Lower Manhattan, two blocks from the Twin Towers’ former site, who would have noticed? Instead, the equivalent of a Muslim Y (without the implied male exclusivity) is to be built there. What’s the big deal? |
