Hope for Tomorrow: How God Keeps His Promises - Genesis 11:10-32 - Oct 6, 2002 - 219
This is the 19th and final sermon in the series on Genesis 1-11 that we started in late April. Almost five and a half months later, we have come to the end. In bringing this series to a close, I feel as if I should congratulate the congregation for your patience and your perseverance because this is ... More
Image is Everything: Highly Valued, Deeply Fallen, Greatly Loved - Genesis 1:26-28 - May 5, 2002 - 224
Upon reading these verses, the thought comes to mind that we’re not in Eden anymore. Whatever else you can say about the first chapter of the Bible, the world of the 21st century is far removed from the world of Genesis 1. Things have changed. These days we wake up every morning to find out wh ... More

Recently I was asked to speak to a group of youth leaders on becoming a credible, authentic leader. In preparing my first message, I decided to focus on two key words. According to the dictionary, the word credible comes from the Latin credo, meaning “I believe.” If something is credible ... More
Can We Still Believe in Life After Death? - Luke 20:27-40 - Jan 28, 2009 - 1188
Ever met a Sadducee? Me neither.That’s not surprising considering that the last one died 2000 years ago. And even back then, there were never very many of them. It was always a very select group, like a club for the very wealthy. If you lived in Jericho, you were much more likely to run into a ... More
When Jesus Comes to Church - Revelation 2:1-7 - Oct 15, 2011 - 1295
If Jesus visited your church, what would he say about it? Would he be impressed by the things that impress others? Would he comment on your buildings? Would he mention the size of the congregation? Would he notice how much money was given last week? Would he feel like an outsider? Pastors always fe ... More
