Visiting Memorials
Friday, September 5th, 2008This spring I went to the New Canaan Society men’s weekend retreat in Washington, D.C. This was the first time I attended and I really enjoyed it. On Saturday afternoon, despite the threat of rain during our free time, my roommate and I did some sightseeing in downtown Washington, D.C.
Initially, we went to see the [...]
The Apostle’s Colossal Prayer
Sunday, July 6th, 2008The Apostle’s Colossal Prayer by Kevin Hoffman
This morning I want to share with you what I call The Apostle’s Colossal Prayer.
This is the prayer that Paul prayed for the Believers at Colosse.
Although these folks had an accurate general knowledge of the Gospel someone had come to their congregation and begun to distort [...]
My Duty
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Do I have responsibilities to other men? Are these responsibilities optional or are they my duty to fulfill? One thing I do know is that we are a ‘band of brothers’ in a war! The Bible tells us that we are at battle. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the [...]
What’s Your Foundation?
Friday, June 20th, 2008Has anybody here ever felt like quitting? Like giving up? I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get tired. I feel like I’m swimming upstream…. through peanut butter.
Lack of Information or Hardness of Heart
Friday, June 20th, 2008As we come to the next section of Luke, I just want to remind you all of where Pastor Mike left off. Sermon # 90 something…
Jesus had given the parable of the King and the ten minas and referenced it to the historical king Archelaus.
This King represents Jesus, the one upon whom Israel had [...]
Luke 19:28ff Lack of Information or Hardness of Heart by Kevin Hoffman: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadWhy are the Tassels on the Jewish Prayer Shawl?
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Do they have magical powers? Is it a superstition? No, the tassels, or tzitzit in Hebrew, are important because of what they symbolize. When God himself instituted the practice, He said, “You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the LORD” (Numbers 15:39). So their purpose [...]
Refuge Under His Wings
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008This hen has 16 chicks under her wings of protection. This is obviously the picture that the Psalmist is referring to in Psalm 36:7. “How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.”
The Cross? So What?-John 18 & 19 (Good Friday)
Saturday, June 14th, 2008ME:
There is a question I’ve heard a lot over the last few years as I’ve shared my faith with those who have had serious and sincere questions about Christianity. Most of these were not really believers, but open-minded people willing to hear me out. “Why would you want to be a priest (as [...]
Jesus Is Lord!-John 2:1-11
Saturday, June 14th, 2008Americans are bombarded with advertising slogans. In fact, according to CBS.com, “…we’ve gone from being exposed to about 500 ads a day back in the 1970’s to as many as 5,000 a day today.”[1] In an effort to maximize the impact of their message, marketers, perhaps better than any other profession, are gifted [...]
The Light Shines In The Darkness (Christmas Eve)-John 1:1-14
Saturday, June 14th, 2008Let me begin by reading a few announcements from a collection of old church bulletins. These are actual announcements. I hasten to add that none of them appeared in our church bulletin. One read, “This being Easter, we will ask Mrs. Lewis to come forward and lay an egg on the altar.” [...]
