    A Light In The Darkness

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jan 3, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,534 views

    This world can often be a very dark place - senseless acts of violence, hatred and abuse - selfishness, greed and anger in our own hearts and lives. A saving Light appears that brings genuine peace and lasting purpose. See how Jesus is a Light in the darkness of this world.

    What do you do when you walk into a dark room? You reach for the light switch, right? For many of us, it’s probably hard to imagine living without that little thing called “the lightbulb” – that little glass bulb that instantly dispels the darkness and brings light. Can you imagine experiencing ...read more

    When we run the race our calling is to be jars of clay. The Christian race is not run to bring attention to ourselves, but to put all the attention onto the treasure which is within us. When we run like this then we are running well.

    Message 2 Corinthians 4:1-18 Run Well We are continuing our series on “Running the Race”. Today our focus will be on the question of “Running Well”. As we think about this question I want to bring your mind back to 1983. It was the year an ultra-marathon took place in Australia. A running race ...read more

    Suffering is a reality. Where can we gain strength from when we suffer?

    New years are time to generally reflect and to look forward to new things. Despite the fact that it repeats every 365 days, it is still something to look forward to.

    Spiritual First Aid Fighting Fatigue Ever wanted to just quit? There’s not a person alive that hasn’t felt like that.

    Finding grace in adverse circumstances to pass the torch of the gospel on to others.

    PASSING THE LIGHT. 2 Corinthians 4:5-12. Paul had been concerned by some self-made ‘ministers’ who were nothing better than peddlers ‘making gain by corrupting the word of God’ (2 Corinthians 2:17). Paul and his fellow-ministers, by contrast, were neither dishonest nor manipulative. They ...read more

    Meditations on Christian living as I near the end of days. Looking to what is coming enables me to weather the storms of life and to draw renewed strength from the Risen Son of God.

    “We have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of ...read more

    Down But Not Out!

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 3, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,269 views

    When it comes to suffering, Paul calls us to forsake pity parties and glorify God. We can remember that Jesus shines through us, that our weaknesses glorify God, that we may be down but never out, and that our sufferings may bring eternal life to others.

    2 Corinthians 4:5-12 Down but Not Out! A Christian need never suffer. At least that’s what some preachers might tell you. However, that is not the message of scripture. Jesus said, “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also” (John 15:20). We should expect no better treatment than that ...read more

    Mid-week Message/Devotion June 6, 2018 2 Corinthians 4:5-12 It All Leads To JESUS! In this reading, a major point that Paul is trying to make has to do with what followers look at, concentrate on and take away.

    Jars Of Clay

    based on 5 ratings
     | 28,616 views

    God formed us, shaped us, like a master potter. Do we trust Him? When He directs our path, do we make excuses why we can’t do it, or do we walk boldly along that path in faith? God didn’t create you to be the centerpiece on a display shelf… He created you as a clay pot to be useful for His kingdom!

    *** NOTE - Both a brief Children's Sermon and a full Adult sermon are included *** CHILDREN’S SERMON [Bring 2 empty glass jars] Take a look at these two jars… they’re just plain jars. What’s inside? Nothing… they’re empty inside. What are they made of? Glass… What would happen if I dropped ...read more
