Sermons by John K. McGhee (Page 5)

Gethsemane

Jesus almost lost the human race in Gethsemane.  His friends’ brutal treatment was an added Gethsemane punishment Jesus did not need.  He needed intercessory prayers.  All He got was rejection, snoring, and cowardice. Would you consider helping someone overcome his or her Gethsemane this week through significant intercessory prayer and a ministry of presence? Scripture:…

True Blue Loyalty

We honor, today, our heroic loyal defenders on front lines, deep blue seas, and wide blue skies who made the ultimate, most precious sacrifice to preserve liberty and keep the peace.  THANK YOU!

Father Abraham’s Sons

Muslims, Jews, and Christians have a legitimate claim to be Father Abraham’s sons and daughters. While it is a wonderful blessing to hold common genes and traditions with Father Abraham, it is a spiritual life of faith, submission, and action which qualifies us to claim that we are Father Abraham’s sons and daughters. The Arabic…

It’s All Good

The Bible identifies three kinds of groaning which makes audible the inner sounds of pain. Did you know that underneath the skyscrapers of Seattle, the tectonic plates are groaning?

Father Knows Best

What kind of father revives broken children & restores broken relationships? DAD RISKED his reputation over his wild child; DAD LET his wild child face consequences of his own decisions; DAD LONGED for a restored relationship with his wild child; DAD LAVISHED gracious forgiveness on his wild child; DAD CELEBRATED the restored relationship with his…

Ideal Family

I can’t find an ideal family described in the Bible.  One big factor could be adverse childhood experiences.  Another factor could be prenatal influences.  Do you know of any ideal families who live in the Skagit valley? God teaches us in Deuteronomy 6 that there are 2 remedies to family disfunction:  1.  Parents could stop…
