I Seek the Profit

Posted on July 1, 2019 by pastorgoforth • Leave a comment

Just a short word – Paul says in Philippians 4:16-17(CSB) “…you sent gifts for my need several times. 17 Not that I seek the gift But I seek the profit that is increasing to your account” Seems like I remember someone saying that we should not lay up treasures on earth, but lay up treasures in our … Continue reading →

Dead In The Garden

Posted on March 28, 2018 by pastorgoforth • Leave a comment

This is a little more lengthy, a sermon, but a good read on the battlefield that is Prayer Dead In The Garden Matthew 26:36-46; Luke 22:39-49 The Garden of Gethsemane.  What a beautiful and poetic place in our minds, literature, songs, and all these last 2000 years. The name “Gethsemane” comes from the root Aramaic … Continue reading →

Cavalry or Calvary?

Posted on October 3, 2017 by pastorgoforth • 2 Comments

So, years ago, in a small Central Texas town, there was a church, a simple little L-shaped brick church.  The Calvary Baptist Church.  Great name for a church.  They built a sign out front and painted the name of the church, “The CALVERY Baptist Church”.   It was a misprint that wasn’t noticed for a … Continue reading →

Rivers of waters … we have seen it this week, whether in person or on the media outlets John 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him (NIV84) How do we survive the waters?  How do we survive the toxic floods, the rivers and … Continue reading →

What an Opportunity

Posted on August 14, 2017 by pastorgoforth • Leave a comment

So, in the growing face of division on the ethnic front, my frustration is often that the church is either silent, or so loud that you can’t hear, and generally loud about the wrong things. However, in the reality that the church, especially the church of a lighter hue of skin, is often silent on … Continue reading →

Since We Have Confidence

Posted on May 5, 2017 by pastorgoforth • Leave a comment

Confidence it is a challenging concept. We can have misplaced confidence.  We can have our confidence destroyed in a bad public performance.  We can have a lack of confidence in someone because of past performance.  Or sometimes we don’t trust because of our own baggage, usually not even connected to this issue, but we fail … Continue reading →
