When the Unexpected happens
Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, and sometimes they hit us so hard we are badly injured. I see an uptick in “unexpected events” over the past 3-4 years, and it is leaving people hurting and emotionally shattered. Control is a huge issue in regard to human nature and us wanting to KNOW…
Read MoreEmotions Rooted in God
Do not be controlled by your emotions. Feelings and emotions are constantly changing. One minute, we are happy, the next sad, and the next minute, our anger is triggered. This emotional yo-yo can make your life very difficult and painful. Fully knowing and depending on the Word of God, by being deeply rooted in your…
Read MoreFully Living and Enjoying Life
Dedicated to my Mother, who would have been 91 today, but left three years ago to enjoy a pain free, peaceful eternity with God. I love and miss you… I will warn you upfront, some of you will not enjoy this sermon. If you don’t, it is likely meant for you by your loving Father…
Read MoreJesus Rose to Save Mankind
Happy and blessed Easter 2025. I often like to present a well-known and much-discussed Bible story from a different angle. This sermon will look at the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus from a different perspective: thoughts and ideas that delve much deeper than the normal Easter message of: He has Risen, so we are…
Read MoreJesus is THE Only King
This is not an Easter sermon, although it could certainly pass as one. I wrote this in my head 4 weeks ago before I went on vacation, and then never got around to typing it up and posting it. This will be a quick lesson in history and hopefully, will assist you in understanding how…
Read MoreDealing with Difficult People and Situations
Life can be odd in an interesting way. After writing “Choose Kindness” last week, apparently, God decided He would test me and see if I live as I write. Some of you are aware of the situation at the DMV this week, but please bear with me as I summarize it for our ministryofmercy.com website…
Read MoreChoose Kindness
As often happens, I had one sermon chosen and God had a different one. As I was waking my mind up this morning playing a word game, a story came across my phone. The title queued my interest and I spent an hour listening. Although it was presented as non-fiction (true), my research leads me…
Read MoreDon’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
A few days ago I was relaxing and letting my mind drift. I started thinking about my childhood and how I couldn’t wait to turn 18 and be able to live life on my terms. Then I thought about how I joined the Air Force at 18 and although there was a lot I didn’t…
Read MoreWhole Body Health
Whole body health includes our physical, mental, and spiritual being(s). Many people focus on one part or another but are remiss in addressing their entire being as each part is connected to, and dependent on the others. Just as the church requires each person to do their part, your whole health requires attention to each…
Read MoreAccepting and Respecting Each Other
I had planned another sermon for today, but a situation arose that made this subject the most important to discuss right now. First and foremost, showing respect for each other DOES NOT require agreeing. Accepting each other despite our differences is what unites us as one in Christ. We ARE Jesus’s hands and feet on…
