Godly Contentment

God is the source of true contentment. The verses about contentment in Hebrews 13, Philippians 4, and I Timothy 6 all connect the idea of contentment with what God has to offer. Luke 10:38-42: Martha was distracted; Mary found contentment with Jesus. A contented person says, One thing is needed. Psalm 4: David found peace... Read More

Say What??

Steve introduced his sermon with three texts from the KJV that share the same punctuation. All use a colon and parentheses at the end of a phrase... that looks remarkably like a smiley face emoticon! "We don't want to be irreverent here, but this brings up a subject I'd like to talk about this morning!"... Read More

If You Were Dying Would Your Life Change?

If you knew your life was about to change, would it make a difference? Matt 24:36-46. We don't know when Jesus is coming again, but we're told that normal life will be going on... and then the unexpected happens, and He returns! If we knew when Jesus was coming, would we do anything different? In... Read More
