God loves you the way you are, but He loves you way too much to let you stay that way, and so His goal is to make you like Christ. How does He do that? Does he just zap you and all of a sudden you think, feel and act like Jesus? No… unfortunately. That would be too easy. 18 So all of us who have had…

If we were to take this poll today, what would be the results? In 2008, there was a man that made himself at home near the doorway of a church on Sunday morning. Imagine the looks, sneers, and mumbling from parishioners as they saw a bum, with beer cans and syringes strewn around him, as he sat near…

Focus on personal one on one discipleship - investing in others for the sake of the gospel. How are to lead the world to Christ. One person at at time. The idea of one-on-one discipleship is not necessarily a new idea. It was practiced in the days of Jesus. While Jesus is considered by many to be a small-group…

Introduction We are coming to the last in the series of David’s Life. David will not die in this passage but this passage and the rest of Samuel is more like an appendix to the story of David. Today we are talking about David’s Last Words. 2 Samuel 23:1-7 1 These are the last words of David: “The inspired…

The title of the sermon this morning is Want To Lead? Learn To Serve. And I want to ask you to think a minute about your job — those of you who still work and aren’t retired. Think about your and specifically about your manager or supervisor or boss. Picture that person in your mind and ask yourself…

2 Chronicles 14:1-11 The kings of Israel and Judah give us a stockpile of good character traits and bad character traits. They give us a list of men of discipline and a list of men with weak morals. Most of the kings were evil; there was never a good king in the North, the kingdom of Israel after Solomon.…

Have you ever been less than enthusiastic about doing something? Perhaps you’ve been tapped to be part of leadership for a community group, the local school PTSA, here at our church, or even for our presbytery. When you’re tapped out, what is your typical response? One of the things I love about Moses…

Servant Leadership When you think of great leaders, who do you think of? Perhaps your mind goes to presidents we’ve had: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Barak Obama, and I’m sure we could all name others that we consider…

What is a key ingredient of Thanksgiving? Go ahead and let me know you think. Is it the mashed potatoes, turkey, ham, gravy, green bean casserole, etc? Maybe it is the spices one uses, or doesn’t use. Relationships are key to life. We were created for relationships. From the very beginning of Thanksgiving…

19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they…

Introduction: Who are some of your spiritual role models? Maybe it was a preacher or Sunday school teacher. Maybe it was a parent or grandparent. One thing that I like to do is read old books by old preachers. The reason I do this is because they are often times more theologically rich in what they have…

We have so much to celebrate here at Mission Woods, and for the past couple of weeks we’ve been looking at the results of our survey and our call as a church. The church in itself has always been an interesting organization in that its primary call is to those that are not members. One could contend…

I have talked before about my time at Chick-fil-A. Those of you who have been around for the past almost eight years are probably tired of my discussions of Chick-fil-A. I have worked for several food service companies, but CFA was hands down, by far, the best at training workers. They had processes…

My Youth Group Was Crazy My youth group was crazy. Punk rock concerts in the basement of our church. Or on the roof of my parents house. Not kidding. I tried to find a picture of that. Kids driving kids downtown to do scavenger hunts in the mall or capture the flag at the Elementary School… until the…

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be…

Introduction: Some of you have served in our armed forces and you have been sent off to basic training to get fit and learn how to function as a military unit. You know that when you get to basic, you often find that mean drill sergeant who tries to break you down. By the end of basic training, these…

Paul’s Restrictions This morning, I would like to begin our time with a small story. On Friday, I knew I would be out late with study so around lunchtime I decided to take a break from my studies to go hang with my kids at a nearby park. After having our fair share of time on the playground, we decide…

Judges 6:11-27 What an amazing and sobering job it is to be involved in the local church, as a leader, teacher or worker. It is amazing because it puts us in places and doing things that we never thought of, let alone thought possible in our own lives. Ye a lot of times we find it difficult as we are…
