We had another very successful gospel meeting this year. Our song leader, Ray Walker from Goodlettsville, TN did an excellent job in leading the singing. David Shannon, the preacher at Mt. Juliet Church of Christ in Mt. Juliet, TN did an exceptional job of bringing God’s Word to all who attended.
The theme David Shannon spoke on throughout the meeting is The Beauty and Power of Love. The titles of each lesson delivered during the meeting are listed below.
- “The Power of Kindness”
- “Where Does God Rank Love?”
- “Compassion Makes the Difference”
- “40 Reasons People Don’t Like You”
- “30 + 1 Reasons People Do Like You”
- “God’s Saving Love: Are You Saved?”
Along with being able to listen to the sermons here on our website, they are available in audio CD format as well. Please contact our church office if you would like to have a copy of these. During the 40 Reasons People Don’t Like You and 30+1 Reasons People Do Like You, he referenced many scriptures in power point format. If you would like those scriptures and comments in print form, please request those as well.
Jesus told His brothers that His time differed from their time. They could come and go without any significance — for them any time was right. He, on the other hand, always pleased His Father, God, so His time movements were those that His Father desired.

How many signs would have been sufficient for them to believe? Jesus had already performed a number of miracles there in Capernaum (i.e. a man in the synagogue with an unclean spirit (Mark 1), Peter’s mother-in-law (Mark 1), the sick and demon possessed (Mark 1), Centurion’s servant (Matt. 8)) What is necessary for us to believe?
To say that God's power is amazing is an understatement. Our words and mental capacities can not fathom the power of our Creator. By just reading through the Bible it…
If Jesus was to appear today, which group would you be apart of? The group that would bow down and praise Him or the group that would want to crucify Him?
The apostle John wrote in 1 John 4:18, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.”
As we talk about being the hands of Jesus, someone might be misled to think that we intend for Christians to do the impossible. There were quite a bit of things Jesus did that we are not capable of doing.
We must seek to be gentle people, even in the most trying times. Not because we are weak or cowardly, but because we are humble, we have placed our strength under God's control.
Do we want Christ's gifts without the Cross? Do we seek to use Him instead of asking Him to use us as He sees fit? If He does not rule over all of my life then He is not truly my King.
