“……an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream saying, ‘…Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.’” Matt. 2:13 Even before He was two years old His enemy was trying to destroy Jesus.  It wasn’t enough just to kill Him, He had to be destroyed.  Why take a chance?  Satan knew… Continue reading Message for December 26, 2010

And the prophet said in Isaiah 9:6-7:  “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders, And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his goverment and peace there will be not end.… Continue reading NOW, WHAT DO YOU SAY?

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.” Luke 1:31 Jesus means “He shall save.”  The angel was foretelling the salvation God was bringing to His people.  The Hebrew name Joshua was common in Biblical times.  The Son of God was not named a… Continue reading Message for December 19, 2010

PSALM 95 There are only two possible responses to every trial and testing we experience in life:  we either soften our hearts toward God or we harden our hearts toward God.  The heart that makes a habit of praising God during good times will find it easier to praise Him during life’s tough times.  Take… Continue reading TREASURES FROM PSALMS

‘And they opened their gifts to Him, gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”  Matt. 2:11.  Tradition has taught us that three wise men from the East came to visit Jesus at His birth.  Actually it was two years after He was born.  They brought Him gifts.  Gold was to represent His Kingship.  Frankincense was to… Continue reading Message for December 12, 2010

Written by David, Psalm 23 is one of the most quoted and memorized psalms. It is known by both the saved and unsaved.  For many, their only contact with this psalm will be when it is sung or read at funerals.  How sad, because this marvelous psalm is meant to comfort and encourage God’s children… Continue reading TREASURES FROM PSALMS

“…peace on earth, goodwill toward men.”  Luke 2:14 As we enter the Advent season, people begin to set their attention on Christmas.  This is the season to be “jolly.”  It is a time of “good  cheer.” What makes the season special?  There would be no Christmas season without Christ. Yet, the world wants to remove… Continue reading Message for Dec 5, 2010

Are you familiar with the term Advent?  It is a Christian term meaning “the arrival”. It is the period of time from November 29 through Christmas Eve.  It is set aside to emphasize the birth (arrival) of Jesus, the son of God. History tells us that the Church created a yearly calendar to focus on… Continue reading Message for Nov 28, 2010

Psalm 105 is a psalm of praise and thanksgiving to a loving God Who mercifully intervenes for His chosen people.  It is one of three lengthy historical psalms which were set to music so that the Jewish heritage could be preserved in everyone’s memory.  It lists the wondrous deeds God accomplished to bring the Israelites… Continue reading TREASURES FROM PSALMS

Psalm 100 is the only psalm that is actually rendered “A Psalm of Thanksgiving.”  Within the two stanzas of this psalm, we are admonished to praise and worship the Lord, and we are given good reasons for doing so. Every parent knows the tremendous responsibilities involved in raising children.  For many years parents commit themselves… Continue reading TREASURES FROM PSALMS

“….that we should bring forth fruit to God.” Romans 7:4 At least once in his life a pastor should be able to preach a “silly sermon”.  Today is my time to do that.  I do not mean a useless sermon with no message in it, but rather an unusual type.  Today I want to look… Continue reading Message for Nov 21, 2010

Psalm 26 was written by David and expresses a time when there was a famine in the land for three years.  David sought the Lord for the reason behind the famine and was told that it was due to Saul’s breaking of Israel’s covenant with the Gibeonites and having them put to death.  Nothing had… Continue reading Treasures From Psalms

There are many things you can say about life.  What you say depends on your view of things.  Do you see the positive or the negative of any given situation?  Do you see the problems or the possibilities?  Are you expecting victory or defeat?  All of these are a product of attitude. How you look… Continue reading Message for Nov. 14, 2010

One of the most heartbreaking situations a parent can deal with is a rebellious child.  King David wrote Psalm 3 when he fled from Absalom his son.  This account is recorded in 11 Samuel 15:13-16.  David’s own son rebelled and stole the hearts of the men of Israel away from David.  As Absalom gathered an… Continue reading TREASURES FROM PSALMS

“Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound.  But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.”  Rom. 5:20 I have a few questions to ask you.  Please think clearly.  How strong is God’s grace?  What can stop it from working?  Whose sin abounded? Who’s grace abounded more? The Bible clearly says we are saved… Continue reading Message for Nov 7, 2010

Psalm 103 has been called David’s “Hallelujah Chorus.”  In this Psalm we are given many benefits of the redeemed–benefits which are presented as reasons to praise the Lord. Victory over any negative circumstance is not far away when we begin to bless the Lord and remember all His benefits:  we are redeemed, forgiven, healed, and… Continue reading TREASURES FROM PSALMS Pastor LaVerne

It was “that close”.  Missed it by “that much”.  “It was just around the corner”. Do these remarks sound familiar?  How many times did we “miss out” because of a narrow margin?  It is hard to deal with “almost”. But, what happens when we start the game with two strikes against us to begin with? … Continue reading Message for October 31,2010
