The Faithful Few – Daniel 3
Sunday AM Sermon by Pastoral Candidate Paul Tweedie
For What Are You Living? – Philippians 1:21-26
Some people live for fishing, others for racing, or boating, or camping, or football, or even gambling. For what do you live? If someone carefully watched your life for a month, for what would they say you live? The Apostle Paul was a man dedicated to the cause of Christ. He could honestly say, “For […]
Maintaining a Good Attitude – Philippians 1:12-20
When we feel like the road of life has become a steep slippery mountain path, and the winds of criticism are against us, and a load of burdens is on our back, we will be tempted to get a bad attitude. We have all been there. In our text, Paul was there. Paul, however, was […]
How Can We Glorify God? Philippians 1:9-11
In 1 Corinthians 10:31, we read, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” How can we glorify God? Our text tells us how. Transition Read Philippians 1:9-11. As Paul prayed, he showed the Philippians and us what is needed so we can glorify God. Our […]
Praying for Friends – Philippians 1:1-8
A minister [of a large church] was praying at the bedside of a dying woman. “Wait a moment,” she said, as he started to rise from his knees. “I want to pray for you.” Very tenderly, she prayed with her hands upon his head. “For ten years, ever since you became my pastor, I have […]

A man who was celebrating his 100th birthday was told by a friend, “Well, I congratulate you, but I’m afraid you’ll not be here to celebrate a second hundred.” To this the man replied, “I’m not so sure of that. The fact is, I am feeling very much stronger to begin this second hundred than […]
The Noble Bereans – Acts 17:10-12
A plumb line is a cord with a weight tied to one end. Bricklayers use it to ensure that the wall they are building is straight. It can also be hung alongside an existing wall to reveal if it is true to the way it was built, or if it is leaning. A plumb line […]
Leaving your Dash Behind – 1 Timothy 6:7
Someone wisely compared life to the dash between the birth date and death date on a tombstone. That little dash encapsulates all that we do on this earth from birth to death. Thinking of life in this regard ought to motivate us to action. Transition Consider with me three actions which we ought to take […]
Decision-Making – Joshua 9:3-27
Fear of making a wrong choice can sometimes cause us to procrastinate until the decision is made for us. We feel like the “experienced” paratrooper who was asked how many jumps he had to his credit. “Twenty-five,” was his reply. But then he added sheepishly, “Really only one. The other twenty-four I had to be […]
One Day at a Time – Matthew 6:34
On January 6, I read through Matthew 6. As I did, the Lord used it to convict my heart and challenge me to change. I want to share with you what I learned. Read Matthew 6:24-34. Transition As I pondered verse 34, I discovered four reasons that you and I must take one day at […]
