2 Corinthians 9:6-9–Relentless Forward Giving
Introduction We all have things that matter to us. And certain things matter to some people more than others. For some people, having a clear driveway in the winter time really matters.

II Timothy 2:15–A WORKER IN THE WORD
Introduction Perhaps you’ve heard the humorous song entitled “Excuses” sung by the Southern Gospel quartet The Kingsmen.

It’s quite the humorous song, but one verse sticks out to me about the excuses […]

James 3:5b-8: Set AFlame Sermon Manuscript
INTRODUCTION Are you a control freak? Do you like to be in control? You plan and over plan and have every little detail worked out to its minutia?

James 3:1-5a: Set Aflame Sermon Manuscript
INTRODUCTION Have you ever underestimated your own strength? Maybe you thought you could do something but you really couldn’t? This becomes more and more of an issue as you age. You used to be able to do things and never feel them, but as you get older you start to hurt more. I’m kind […]
Luke 2:8-20 Sermon Manuscript
INTRODUCTION There’s a difference between those who sit on the sidelines, and those who play in the game. Some people get involved in things, and others do not.
