Series: Preacher: Date: May 17, 2015 Scripture Reference: Nehemiah 2:1-20

How many remember the old sit-com: Home Improvement?  We used to watch it pretty much every week and laugh as Tim the Tool Man Taylor gave his comedic lectures about all his “expertise” in tool knowledge. Well, this morning I want to do a little “Tim the Tool Man” lecture of my own. Don’t worry […]

A Woman’s Worth is Never Done

Series: Preacher: Date: May 10, 2015 Scripture Reference: 1 Samuel 1:1-20, 24-28

One of the most popular min-series ever produced is HBO’s Band of Brothers which tells the story of EASY COMPANY—the 506th regiment of the 101st Airborne—perhaps the best known unit in WW2.

If you’re our guest this morning you should know that we are at the tail end of a “lengthy” sermon series entitled “Send Mile Stewardship.” Last week we started the series as we focused on the fact that we become WRONG ON THE MONEY when we love it to excess—when we idolize it—when our lives […]

Wrong on the Money

I know you’ve heard me say more than once that one of my favorite movies is Frank Capra’s, It’s A Wonderful Life.  How many of you watch it every Christmas?

Words of Victory

On March 4, 1841, William Henry Harrison, the 9th President of the United States, delivered the longest inaugural speech on record.  It contained over 9,000 words—which equals about five or six Sunday sermons! President Harrison must have been VERY impressed with the comments he prepared for that day because, in spite of the fact that […]

Words of Compassion

As many of you know, about 25 years ago I served as a chaplain in the Delaware Army National Guard assigned to a M.A.S.H unit. My first year as a chaplain was fairly routine. One weekend a month we’d gather and do various kinds of training but there was usually no urgency. We just kind […]
