Last updated on: June 28, 2016 at 9:54 pm By Jim Erwin

Slow Kingdom Coming by Kent Annan Slow Kingdom Coming by Kent Annan is a book which asks the reader to consider practices for doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly in the world. Although Annan never states it, Micah 6:8 is the lens through which he views living the Christian life. Annan challenges the reader to participate in the coming Kingdom (Mark 1:15) (13). Annan suggests that the Kingdom of God is not coming when Jesus returns. Instead, Jesus’ prayer... Read more

When One Person Causes Trouble June 26, 2016 Joshua 7:16-26 SIN IN THE CAMP! When one person causes trouble, all kinds of things can go wrong. The Israelites were out at war with another neighboring tribe. But the Jews were losing the battle, badly. Joshua goes to pray to God and ask for favor. He asks God to help them.

Acts 2:22-47 God’s All-Star Plan For Me

Last updated on: June 26, 2016 at 8:56 pm By Jim Erwin

Acts 2:22-47 God’s All-Star Plan For Me You know those shows where they have competitions to find out who the “All-Star” champion is. They bring people together to find out who is the best. We watch “Cutthroat Kitchen” on Sunday nights. Four contestants use $25,000 to spend in auctions to hurt their competitors. At the same time, they complete by cooking three dishes (an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert.) On Wednesday nights during the summer, there is the “All-Star”... Read more

Prophecy Watch: Brexit

Last updated on: June 24, 2016 at 12:57 pm By Jim Erwin

Prophecy Watch: Brexit Well, the Brits (will we be able to call them Brits when this is all over?) have decided to leave the European Union. #Brexit (British Exit) is a reality. When one looks at the polls, there will be some interesting consequences. Scotland for the most part, voted to Remain. Will the Scots decide to re-join the EU at a later date? Many of the people who voted to Leave were in the rural areas, where there are very... Read more

Proclaiming God’s Favor

Last updated on: December 24, 2016 at 11:39 am By Jim Erwin

Proclaiming God’s Favor June 23, 2016 Isaiah 61:1-3 Isaiah is a miniature version of the Bible. There are sixty-six chapters, just as there are sixty-six books in the Bible. The first thirty-nine speak of God’s judgment (like the Old Testament), the last 27 speaks of God’s love (like the New Testament). Isaiah 61:1-3 is about proclaiming God’s favor. The verses speak about a Person (the Messiah) who has been anointed by God. You can even notice that the verse begins... Read more

Revelation 12:1-18 The Woman, Child, and Dragon Seven Key Figures Part 1 Revelation 12:1-18 The Woman, Child, and Dragon is the first sermon in a three-part series of the “Seven Key Figures” of Revelation. As well as being the start of a new major section, Revelation 12 stands as the theological heart of the book because it shows why the church faces spiritual hostility in this world and how God provides the victory. Revelation 12:1–14:20 forms a grand interlude detailing... Read more

There Will Be Hell to Pay

Last updated on: November 28, 2017 at 10:10 pm By Jim Erwin

There Will Be Hell to Pay June 17, 2016 Mark 9:42-50 When people ask if Jesus ever spoke about hell, you can point them to this section of the New Testament. Here, Jesus warns people about causing people to sin. CAUSING LITTLE ONES TO SIN (Mark 9:42) Jesus first warns us against the downfall of children who believe in Jesus (Mark 9:42). The consequence of this offense is for someone to put a millstone around the offender’s neck and... Read more

How God Deals with Rebels June 16, 2016 Numbers 12:1-16 When people criticize the pastor or leader, and I don’t mean constructive criticism, it is a form of rebellion. It is rebellion because what they say with their mouth is not what is on their mind. By this, I mean that what they say is wrong is not what they really think is wrong. WHAT YOU SAY IS NOT WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN In this case, Miriam and Aaron... Read more

5 Ways to Have a Childlike Spirit

Last updated on: December 11, 2017 at 9:27 pm By Jim Erwin

5 Ways to Have a Childlike Spirit June 14, 2016 Psalm 131:1-3 Jesus encourages us that if we are going to be in the kingdom of God and participate with God in His work, we need to have a child-like spirit. Having a child-like spirit is not the same as being childish. Being childish acting with the maturity of a child even though you are an adult. Having a child-like spirit is a matter of the heart. David describes qualities that... Read more
