David Forgives Saul

1 Samuel 24:8-12 8 Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. 9 He said to Saul, “Why do you listen when men say, ‘David is bent on harming you’? [...]

The Forgiven Are Blessed!

Psalm 32:1 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. We have preached and written a number of things over the last month about forgiveness.  Today’s passage touched my heart – reminding me how blessed I am to be forgiven by God.  Do you feel blessed?  If so – your hear

Jesus Offers Peace Through His Presence

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. One of the prayers I often offer – when visiting with someone waiting for surgery or some other significant event – is for God’s [...]

Yearning for the Place He Prepared for Us

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. Jesus has gone before us to prepare a place for us.  I like this!  I even yearn for this!  Do you? Jesus was speaking [...]

Matthew 5:23-24 23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar.

Get a New Heart and Live Free From Sin

Ezekiel 18:31a Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. I was asked during the first sermon on Forgiveness if I would address forgiving ourselves (in the middle of the sermon mind you – lol).  I hope that we have touched on this subject and [...]

Biological or Adopted – Our Love Pours Out for the Children

Romans 9:8 In other words, it is not the natural children who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring. On Facebook today I posted my daughter Shelly’s blog page.  You can read some of her journey here http://yostfamily.newrhythm.org/. When to

A Miracle – Do You Look for Them?

1 Kings 17:6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. Miracles are a major part of the Bible’s story.  Today’s passage is about the ravens (not a Baltimore Raven by the way) feeding Elijah.  Not the norm – right?  [...]

Seek His Face, Desire His Grace

John 14:15 If you love me, you will obey what I command. In yesterday’s sermon (listen to it on this website this week when it is loaded) I quoted this passage.  Jesus is saying – if we love Him we will obey His commands.  I made the point that Christianity is not a matter of [...]
