    Zacharias came to worship God one day hoping that God would "show up". Surprisingly, that is exactly what God did! How should you respond when God shows up and meets your needs?

    WHEN GOD LEAVES YOU SPEECHLESS LUKE 1:15-25; 57-80 Introduction: There is a wise saying I heard a few years back that speaks great truth. “Life is not about how many breaths you take, but about the moments that take your breath away.” Some breathtaking moments for me..... 1.

    "Finding God's Strength"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 22, 2015
     | 7,684 views

    Like many of the teachings of Jesus, the words He spoke did not really go along with the popular views of the day. Listen again to what he said…blessed are the meek…they will inherit the earth.

    Finding God’s Strength Matthew 5:5 and 11:28-30 The setting for the message this morning is found in one of the highlights of the ministry of Jesus. His ministry had its share of highs and lows but this was definitely one of his finer moments. In the background, Jesus had just gone through ...read more

    We are called to be disciples of Christ and disciple-makers for Christ. Jesus challenges us to consider the cost commitment of discipleship, and not be distracted by the comfort and convenience this world offers.

    Being the first Sunday of the year, I want to take some time to revisit our ES mission – to grow as disciples of Christ and be disciple-makers for Christ. Why are we doing what we are doing? Why is this important? Can we do something else, or can we not do this at all? • We are ...read more

    when Jesus came as a little baby, and was born in a stable and placed in a pig trough with strips of linen wrapped around Him, he was hardly what they expected. This has been a problem for ages. Many of us want Jesus to be something He is not. We want

    “Let it Snow!” Luke 2:8-11 One of the reasons why the Jews and many others didn’t recognize Jesus as the coming Messiah was because he wasn’t what they were looking for. The Jews were sick of the Romans and the way they ruled the country and what they really wanted was a ...read more
