You’ve Not Been This Way Before - VIGNETTE

You’ve Not Been This Way Before 
A brand new day is one you’ve never experienced before. What is ahead? God alone knows. What am I to do? Follow the One who knows what is ahead. Fellowship & Followship are reciprocal. 

Heaven Is For Real - CLASS

Heaven Is For Real 
This is a biblical critique of the popular book, study guides, and the soon to be released (on Resurrection weekend) film. Is this film or the book for adults or the book for children really something your child should read or watch? Are the books and film accurate scripturally?

Are You In A Wilderness? That’s Not Always Bad! - CLASS

 Are You In A Wilderness? That’s Not Always Bad!
Do you ever feel like you’re in a wilderness? Life is a mess? Nothing is working? Spiritually Dry? This vignette is for you!  

Women of the Book: Mrs. Job - VIGNETTE

 Women of the Book: Mrs. Job
Mrs. Job is not fondly remembered. But I think she got a bad rap. After all, Job’s losses were hers too. Anyone of us who have buried a child, or children, understand grief.

Mercy Tree - CLASS

 Mercy Tree
This is a biblical critique of the contemporary song, “Mercy Tree.” Does God’s Word ever call the cross of Christ, the ‘Mercy Tree’? Why should it matter to Bible believing Christians?

Here Comes Peter Cottontail - VIGNETTE

 Here Comes Peter Cottontail 
Peter Rabbit is so equated with ‘Easter’ that one school system has designated the bunny, Peter Rabbit, too much of a Christian symbol. Of course, the ACLU is ‘on board with this type of Christian cleansing.” Did you know the bunny Rabbit is part of the Resurrection Celebration?

Theodicy - CLASS

Theodicy
We all think about and often discuss God’s unscrutable ways. Why do the Righteous suffer? Why are the ungodly so successful? Wrong seems to trump Good, and Evil seems to win out over Right. We’re perplexed and puzzled. There is a theological concept for this subject, it is called “Theodicy”.

Nahson Who? Never Heard Of Him! - VIGNETTE

Nahson Who? Never Heard Of Him!
Does God know before hand who He will use and for what purpose? Does God ever lose track of an individual? Listen to find out if Nahson was a 'nobody' or a 'somebody' in God's Disposition of events.

Mary's Song vs Amy's Song - CLASS

 Mary's Song vs Amy's Song
This is a critique of Amy Grant's song "Breath of Heaven". Do the words of this song square with Scripture? How does Mary's words and Grant's song contrast? Do their words, even remotely compliment OR compare? Think Biblically ... you will know the answer.

What I did - What I learned - VIGNETTE

What I did - What I Learned
When you read the Bible ask yourself some questions so you can get into the characters of the Scriptures, and maybe understand a little bit more about how God helped them grow up through the circumstances of their lives and how different people intersect their lives for God's purposes. 

Just An Old Dry Stick - VIGNETTE

Just An Old Dry Stick
This is about Aaron's rod and how God made Aaron's rod come alive.  Our text is in Numbers 17.

Stay Put Until ... - POTPOURRI

Stay Put Until ...
Our text today is Numbers 9.  How easy our lives would be if we could see the cloud and fire to direct our every move, as the Jews did in the wilderness.  But that's not God's plan for you or me, we must trust His direction we cannot see.  So if in doubt, don't make a move. Pray and ask for prayer.  Talk to someone you trust.  And remember it's easier and cheaper to learn from other's mistakes.

Choose Life - CLASS

Choose Life
This is not suitable for children.  Please have them leave the room before listening.  Today I want to talk about choosing life.  This is not going to be a bashing of condemnation, nor is it going to be my finger shaking in someone's face to produce a sense of shame. It is, I pray with my whole heart, a message of hope for those who have had abortions. But I hope it is a huge red stop sign for those who might be considering an abortion.

But I'm Innocent - POTPOURRI

But I'm Innocent
We are starting in Matthew 9:9.  ... 'Jesus said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician but those who are sick....For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

And Then What? Learning To Live For Eternity- VIGNETTE

And Then What? Learning To Live For Eternity
As we live our lives day by day a Believer does more than simply check off a day.  Every single day we are creating a record for eternity.  No day is without consequence. No moment is unimportant. What we do today will matter a thousand years from today.

Well I'm Just Going to the Garden and Eat Worms - Goodness Does Not Make Grateful - CLASS

Well I'm Just Going to the Garden and Eat Worms - Goodness Does Not Make Grateful
When we have wrong expectations we may become disappointed. Have you ever felt this way?  Others have felt this way too. Are we plugged into reality?   Come with me to Exodus 14:10.

Mount Pisgah Experience - VIGNETTE

Mount Pisgah Experience
Our text is in Deuteronomy chapter 31.  God is getting ready to call Moses home.  I often wonder what Moses thought as he was walking up that mountain. God buried Moses and no man knows his burial place today. But is that the last time we see Moses? Unless we go in the rapture, we will all have a Mount Pisgah Experience.
