Taunts and Testimonies – Matthew 27:41-43

Sep 14, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening

Computers are marvelous instruments. I bought my first computer while visiting here on a visit from Calgary in 1987, and I haven’t looked back. I’m not sure anymore that I could prepare four messages a week, if it was not for my computer. And I know that I couldn’t...

The Three Crosses – Matthew 27:33-38

Sep 13, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Morning

Helpful Hanna – I Samuel 1

Sep 10, 2015 | Wednesday

One of the problems that pastors have lays in the very nature of their office. Since I left my secular job, I don’t have as much causal contact with the world any more. Sure I have my weekly routine, but generally speaking it involves the same people all the time....

Ephaphroditus – Philippians 2:24-30

Sep 3, 2015 | Wednesday

There is a member of the Inland Empire Philatelic Society who doesn’t get the respect he deserves. He is the coordinator of several meetings and has held some rather important responsibilities in the past. The only thing slowing him down is his age and health, but...

Anomalies and Contradictions – Matthew 27:33-50

Aug 31, 2015 | Matthew, Sunday Evening

Twenty years ago – in 1995 – I preached a two part message entitled, “If I was the Devil.” I didn’t pull them up to check, but if I remember those sermons, I suggested things that I would do if I was in charge of a God-hating world. And it just so happens...
