       I hope everyone finds themselves in a good place today.

       Many people in our day and age try to approach the issues of life with their own wisdom—with what they feel is right in their own minds and with what they can see with their own eyes.

       This past October I was in Los Angeles getting in some vacation time and I visited The RMS Queen Mary, an ocean-liner which is docked along Long Beach, CA. I had decided to visit the ship based on the recommendation of a friend from work, and I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew it was a historic cruise-liner, but I really didn’t know much beyond that.

       Today I want us to consider the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and we are going to look at Mark’s account of it. Indeed, all four Gospel writers give us an account, and Mark’s, like Matthew’s, is shorter. Both Luke and John gave us more lengthy accounts, and it would take weeks to go though them. But today, I want us to consider Mark’s account.

       Today we are finishing up our study on the Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5. I think the last weeks have been pretty interesting as we have considered love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness. These are attitudes that God wants us to have, as Christians, in our thoughts, our words, and our actions. If we work these things into our overall character, we cannot lose in life.

       I am continuing our discussion on the Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5. Last week we considered the first three fruits in that passage, which are love, joy, and peace. Today, we will consider the next three, which are patience, kindness, and goodness. Just as last week’s fruits I think were pretty interesting and insightful, today’s fruits are just as interesting.

Today I am beginning a new series on the Fruit of the Spirit, and we are going to be consider each fruit individually over the next three weeks. Since there are nine fruits, we will consider three fruits in each message. I believe it is really important to understand each of these characteristics that God wants us to be displaying in our lives. These are the attitudes in life that are good attitudes CONTINUE READING SERMON...

Today I want to talk about some common problems that occur in people’s marriages, and how to deal with these problems. Now, what I am going to discuss is basic, yet, I feel that these issues are common within marriages, and therefore, we should consider them. I believe every Christian couple wants to improve their marriage—for everyone should believe that there is room for improvement—and I think CONTINUE READING SERMON...

       Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been looking at how the Holy Spirit works in our lives as Christians. I think we’ve learned, or been reminded of quite a few important things in this study. The first week we discussed how the Holy Spirit teaches us, both using God’s Word and sometimes things we see around us. We also learned the fact that the Spirit brings conviction to us when we need it

       Today I will talk about the work of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. Perhaps never has there been more confusion with any subject within God’s church other than that of the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. Some want to paint the picture of a limited Spirit, while others what to paint the picture of an overly dramatic Spirit. Well, today, my hope is not to paint either of these pictures, but rather

       In the late Fall of 1963, President John F. Kennedy was visiting the Brooks Air Force Base School of Aerospace Medicine in San Antonio, Texas. This visit to Texas marked the start of his 1964 campaigning for re-election as President of the United States. His presidency had been an eventful one thus far in many ways, and he had accomplished quite a bit. Perhaps most bold and notable was when CONTINUE READING SERMON...

       We’ve spent the last couple of weeks talking about attacks on Christianity, and I want to finish up our discussion today with some final attacks that come to us under the blanket of so called ‘free’ thinking. A lot of people want to reject Christianity, or any religion, simply because they feel it places rules on people where there shouldn’t be rules. And some feel that all religions are simply the creations CONTINUE READING SERMON...

       When a lot of people attack Christianity, one of the first things they focus on is the church—or the condition of the church. Opponents believe that if they can show the people who follow Christian principles to be no different than anyone else, to be hypocrites, then they can undermine the church. And it is true that when Christians don’t live up to becoming more like Jesus that it can and does from CONTINUE READING SERMON...

And it is true in this great day of science that many want to, or would like to be able to, prove everything about our world. They want to be able to see things in our world and pick them up. They want everything to be tangible and logical. CONTINUE READING SERMON...

       If we are going to follow God correctly in our lives, as Christians, then repentance from sin is going to be a big part of our lives. As we grow into becoming more and more like Christ, we are going to find new areas where sin is identified in our lives. At that point, we need to turn from it and go from there in living life without practicing that sin any longer. And then, of course, there are the daily struggles

       Just outside of Maine is Campobello Island, a Canadian island, which, sometime ago, in a different time, Franklin D. Roosevelt would frequent during the Summer time. He was spending time at the family’s rather large cottage, trying to get-in some time of recreation and rest in the August of 1921. After a day full of activity, Franklin took on a fever, and his legs weren’t feeling quite right.

       We are now in our third week of our study on peace. Last week I discussed seven things that can take away our peace, and I will be continuing this discussion today. I want to consider eight more things that can cause us to lose our peace, as Christians. By identifying these things, we can seek to eliminate them from our minds. One of our goals, as Christians, is to seek to cultivate a peaceful mindset.

As we live each day of our lives, there are so many things that can work against us in order to try and take our peace. Having peace of mind is probably the most important thing we can have, as Christians. Peace of mind allows us to live our lives to the fullest extent, and not be hindered by the shaky circumstances of life. We cannot always control what happens in our lives, but we can control how we respond CONTINUE READING SERMON...

       Of all the things we have in this world, one of the most important is the peace we have in our minds. We often use the phrase “peace of mind,” and it is true that having peace of mind makes life the best it can be. If we are living in bad mental states all the time—states of fear, anxiety, chaos, depression—whatever it be—we won’t enjoy life as much as we could, and for some, they won’t enjoy
