A Sunday school teacher was asking her little class why is it so important that we’re quiet in church. A little girl raised her hand and said, “Because people are sleeping!” It’s been said that the mark of a really good sermon is to have a really strong beginning and a really strong ending and that the two should be as close together as possible. So now you know the challenge of preaching. One more Sunday school story…a teacher is […] The post When Jesus Calls Your Name appeared first on Foothills Church.

As we look forward to 2018… it is amazing in just a couple of years it will be 2020. I remember Y2K. Do you guys remember that? All the hysteria. Good heavens. But as all of us look to 2018, one dominant part of 2018 for all of us is we’re going to be working. W-O-R-K. Work. It is a big part of what we are going to do. When most Americans talk about work, most people talk about work […] The post Work is a Gift appeared first on Foothills Church.

Can I tell you something really neat about this service? This is the first Sunday of 2018, right now. So, if your New Year’s resolution was going to church every week, you are batting a thousand! I’m proud of you. I want to talk today about choices. Do you guys know that it is important to choose the right words when we talk, right? Anybody that’s married knows you’ve got to choose the right words to explain exactly what you’re […] The post The Power of Choice appeared first on Foothills Church.

First off, you guys have all played the game “Rocks, Scissors, Paper”, haven’t you? And you all know that rock breaks scissors, scissors cuts paper, and paper covers up and defeats rock. By the way that reminds me, you know how during flu season you go to shake somebody’s hand and they just give you that fist bump. The next time you have your hand out and they give you that fist bump and that’s kind of awkward, just go […] The post Overcoming Difficulties & Suffering appeared first on Foothills Church.

Dave: What we’re going to do now is we’re going to read through the Christmas story. The birth of Jesus. Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” 29 But […] The post Christmas Eve 2017 appeared first on Foothills Church.

I’m going to ask for two volunteers who like to win things, alright? But, you have to know something about the Bible. Alright, come up here Dan. What do you mean you already know all the answers? You have the outline? But you don’t have the answers. You know the answers? Come up here, oh ye, pride come before a fall, young man. Stand right here. You sure you know them? (Dan answers: “I’m absolutely sure I know them”). OK, […] The post The Christmas Miracle appeared first on Foothills Church.

Good morning, go ahead and open your Bibles to Exodus, chapter 20. Exodus chapter 20 is one of the most famous chapters of the Bible. It’s where we find the 10 commandments. We’re going to look at the first 2 commandments. The 10 commandments, just going over them really quick: You should have no other gods before God You shall make no graven images Don’t take His name in vain Keep the sabbath day holy Honor your father and mother […] The post You Become Like What You Worship appeared first on Foothills Church.

Go to Acts chapter 12. The scripture that we’re going to look at today deals with a desperate time in the early church in Jerusalem. Up to this point, thousands of people have gotten saved. Thousands of Jews have converted to Christianity; they’ve given their life to Jesus. And believe me, this has not gone unnoticed by the Jewish religious leaders. So, the more Christians, the more Jews who get saved, the more threatened these Jewish leaders become, and then […] The post Prayer and the Overcoming Life appeared first on Foothills Church.
