Why do people immigrate to the United States, or Canada, or anywhere else for that matter? There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reasons. When I checked into my motel in Winnipeg, the desk clerk was wearing a turban and speaking with an accent. He could have been...

Four Points of Prophecy – Malachi 3:1-6 I’d like to take Brother Fulton’s message from Sunday and preach again it in my own words. It had the catchy title “This is That,” using Peter’s words in Acts 2, where he said to the Jews: “What you are seeing is that which was...

Do you remember what the weather was like last Sunday? Were any of you thrown into the building with the door being violently pushed open by the 50 mph winds? Were you followed into the building by a handful of maple leaves from next door? Did anyone have their hair...

Let’s have a study about studying the Bible this evening. Our subject is actually “The Messenger of the Covenant.” But let’s use that to consider some of the ingredients in studying God’s Word. I rarely ever do this, but I’d like you to empty your minds for a few...

“Where is the God of Judgment?” There are two ways to understand this question; each depends on the context. It can be a somewhat positive question, uttered by people suffering or being mistreated. “Oh, God of judgment, where are you, and when will you step in to...

Years ago, when you were much younger, you spent five hours hiking up into the mountains. The trail was narrow and not very well used, but it took you over ridges and into valleys with such beauty that you kept pushing on. It was late in the day when you finally...

So Satan has once again come to you; this time through the portal of your conscience. For the umpteenth time you have committed that particular sin – that special weakness of yours. What was it? Pride over something you’ve done? Coveting something your neighbor has?...

Let’s say that I did something to offend you, and, as every Christian should, I came and apologized. What should I think, if you put your hands on your hips; your eye-brows narrowed; you raised your voice; and you crisply said, “I forgive you?” Should I believe your...

Much of the Book of Malachi compares and contrasts God’s blessings to Israel’s whining. For example, as we have seen, the Lord reminded the nation that He loved them. But Israel retorted, “Wherein hast thou loved us, Lord?” God answered, “Haven’t you seen the...

What do you think it would it be like, if you were the last servant of God on the face of the earth? It will never be, and it could never be, because God’s Word forbids it, but just think about it for a moment. If it was true, how would you feel? After you, never...

I thought about starting this message at the same place we’ve started a dozen others in the last couple years – with Elijah the Prophet. Jezebel threatened the life of Elijah after he had been so blessed by God at the top of Carmel. He then ran for his life into the...

When I was in school we could expect to be tested at the end of the semester or at the end of the chapter. But sometimes the teacher would give us quizzes before the big final test. Those quizzes were not as important as the final, but they did become a small...

Paul Azinger was, for several years, a successful golfer in the Professional Golfers Association. He won 16 tournaments, including the 1993 PGA Championship – he was the best of that best that year. Then he was diagnosed with cancer – Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma....

As you may have surmised, we began this study of the Office of Deacon based on the fact that our church doesn’t currently have any deacons. Amidst a number of questions swimming around in my mind, are these…. Should we have deacons? Do we need deacons? And does...

Since beginning this series a couple weeks ago, I have a tiny, latent fear in the back of my mind. You’ve probably figured out that I would like to implement the Biblical principle and install two or three deacons in our church. I’d like them to look after our...
