The reason that I choose the title for this message, "The God that We Ignore," is because when you begin to discuss the Holy Spirit in churches today, you typically get one of two responses. When you say, "We're going to teach [...]

Whenever you mention the word "Apocalypse," people often envision dooms day scenarios. They see mushroom clouds over cities. They see scenes of disaster like your in-laws moving in with you. You see this topic of the end times and the [...]

We begin a brand-new sermon series entitled "Glory to God in the highest". This message, as simple as it sounds and as familiar as it seems, is something that we often forget to do because of all of the distractions that we see in the [...]

We have a choice to make. We cannot decide not to decide. The graphic shows an individual at the crossroads. One path leads to blessing and the other path leads to curses. What you have to understand is that when you come to the crossroad and you [...]

We often sell ourselves short when we say to each other simple clichés, like, "Jesus is the reason for the season". Now, I'm not shaming anybody who's used it because it works at this time of year. But the reality of it is, is [...]

The reason that the biblical borders of marriage are broken is because individuals, men and women, have refused to take the responsibility that is upon them to maintain a healthy marriage. It's not that we don't know what to do: it's [...]

A border is a blessing. Say that with me: "A border is a blessing". And the reason that a border is a blessing is because without a border, you have no idea where the good starts and the bad stops. You see whenever it comes to this topic [...]

You see when it comes to border control, one of the problems is that people immediately want to say, "Well it's a politically-driven problem," "It's driven by bad policies," "It's driven by poor decisions in [...]

Let's read Galatians 6:7 and 9 together. If you're there, say, amen. The Bible says, "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will, of the flesh, reap [...]

When you read the Bible, you see through the pages concerning the topic of the anointing that, first and foremost, the anointing is God's idea. It's not something that was put together by a group of preachers and teachers who decided that [...]

This is what the Bible says in 1 Samuel 3:1. If you're there, say, amen. "Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days". Say that with me, "And the word of the Lord was [...]

What is it about the most powerful principles in life? What is it about those simple statements that have the ability to change everything in your dynamic? Why is it that whenever you hear them, they are much easier said than done? Have you ever [...]

My goal for you, as your pastor, is for you to live the 3:20 life. Now there's a lot of people that like to tag lots of numbers onto your life, so before you get worried about what is the 3:20 life, I want to show you where it comes from in [...]

Every day is something that you should celebrate with the person that God has given you, your husband, your wife, in the covenant love of holy matrimony. Every day you should demonstrate to them that they are a priceless treasure. Every day you [...]

The Bible is a book of signs and wonders. And when God did miracles through his son Jesus Christ here on earth, what it did was it made cynical people into saints. The doubters, who saw Lazarus come out of a grave, no longer doubted that Jesus [...]

Micah 6:8 gives us instructions about what God wants from men. I love the fact that the verse begins with, "You, o man". Why? Because the world that we live in and the society that we're in today is trying to erase facts with [...]

If you brought your Bibles, would you turn them to the book of Haggai 1:2 through 5, as this morning, we begin a new sermon series on the topic of time. What is it about time that keeps everybody so distracted? Our world is filled with messages and [...]

When you read 1 Samuel 3:1, 1 Samuel 3:21, you notice that there is a connection in the relationship between God and his word. For example, in verse 1, it says, "The word of the Lord was rare, and there was no widespread revelation". In [...]

I believe God has a plan for you today. I believe that that plan is far greater than anything you've ever known in the past. I believe that every breath you breathe, you breathe with purpose, because his providential plan is coming to pass. [...]

The Bible says, in a number of places, that certain things are going to happen when we get to the end times. For example, Paul in his letter to Timothy. In the second letter, he says, "Know this: that in the end times, perilous times will come, [...]

We're going to see from God's word today just how relevant this ancient text is with the modern things you get to read every morning. Let's read Luke 21:25 and following. If you're there, say, amen. "And there will be signs [...]

Today, we're discussing "Headline News" because headlines are these stories that drown out every other story that's being told in the week, in the month, in the year. When you look at the headlines of newspapers, sometimes they [...]

The Bible speaks constantly about the cleansing of the Word of God. It begins in Exodus 30. In Exodus 30, God tells Moses that in the tabernacle where the people of Israel were going to meet with God: that he should build a bronze laver. And this [...]

If we're going to receive the unexpected, overwhelming, beyond what we could ask, think, or imagine goodness of God in our tomorrows, we're going to have to willingly let go of what we're holding onto today, and take a leap of faith [...]

Today, I want to show you in the scripture how to follow the signs so that you can walk the path of righteousness and be willing and obedient, and receive the blessings of God. That's the message of Deuteronomy 6. Deuteronomy 6 tells us very [...]

John 15:1 through 17 have a conversation that in order to understand it, we have to go where Jesus was and see what he was looking at. That's why we've reconstructed our version of a Cornerstone vineyard here. When Jesus said, "I am [...]

When you choose to follow Christ, deny your will, and serve him, you don't have to follow him very long before you find yourself in a conflict. If anyone has ever told you that a Christian life is absent of struggle, they lied. The Christian [...]

Psalm 78 is a very difficult passage to navigate, because there's not a lot of good news in it. Most of the time when we open up the Bible, and we want to be encouraged, we like to be encouraged with things that tell us what we want to hear. [...]

There are many people in this sanctuary, watching over television, watching online this morning. And you crave the freedom, and the liberty, and the joy, and the deliverance of the relationship that you have with Jesus Christ. But right behind that [...]

God's not interested in your attitude: he's interested in your potential. And so he builds your life upon his word. And none of us are free from pruning. Every branch, he either picks it up or he prunes it, because what he's [...]

We begin a topic entitled "Come and Take It". How many of you were born and raised in the great state of Texas? How many of you got here just as soon as you could, by God's grace? Here in Texas, the word "Come and take it" [...]

I want to take you to a place where blood, sweat and tears came together, not to do just another common and ordinary thing, but to do an extraordinary thing. Today we turn and we look at Jesus Christ, the author and the finisher of our faith, who [...]

We're going to be discussing the difference between what you want and what you need. How many of you know that there is usually a very real distinction between what you want and what you need? You want blue bell. You need broccoli. You want [...]

Are you curable? Jesus said it this way: "Whoever hears these words and does them, he is like a wise man... Whoever hears these words and does not do them, he is like a foolish man". One of the challenges with this verse is not that [...]
