How do you see yourself spiritually? Some of us may think pretty highly of ourselves. But most of us struggle. “I have so little to offer God,” we think. “I’m completely insignificant in the grand scheme of things.” This sermon examines how to have healthy spiritual self-esteem. Listen for a word of encouragement!

There’s an old hymn called Faith Of Our Fathers. The words include, “Faith of our fathers, living still, in spite of dungeon, fire, and sword.” Pretty cool.

But for many of us, some of the greatest faith we’ve ever seen has come from our mothers and grandmothers. This Sunday, Mother’s Day, we ask: What can we learn about faith from great women of God?

Does good living lead to prosperity?

If so, why do so many good people struggle, while so many bad people prosper? Is there any real “payoff” for doing good? We’ll look at the example of King Uzziah to guide us.

There’s just something about a soap opera that easily draws us in. All that drama, intrigue, and manipulation. We love it!

So much so that we may never rise above it. And we end up living small lives. In this sermon we study a passage in 2 Chronicles that calls us to something higher.

How you answer that question could make all the difference. Listen to the wrong people, and disaster may result. Listen to the right people, and great things could happen.

But how do we tell the difference?

It happens all the time. A conflict arises, people get worked up, drama ensues, and before long we’re overwhelmed by it all. If we’re not careful, conflict can consume our best energy — and distract us from a positive life agenda. This sermon looks at an ancient Bible story that offers practical wisdom for containing conflict.
