    Who are the people you would rather avoid or bypass altogether? Jesus went to those who were on the fringe of society and made a difference. We can do the same as we are empowered by the Holy Spirit.

    April , 2007 Where is Your Samaria? “and He must needs go through Samaria.” John 4:4 INTRODUCTION: The shortest route from Jerusalem to Galilee was on the high road straight through Samaria, but most people would take the longer way around in order to avoid the Samaritans.

    Each person who comes into contact with the church has a different thought of what the church is like. Some see it as a geographical location or as a building, but the church is a group of people who have put their faith in Jesus.

    The New Wine of Salvation bring true and lasting joy. If our wineskins are going to burst it should be because of our Joy spilling out into the world that Christ has made a difference in our heart and life.

    LESSONS FROM PATCHES AND WINESKINS Mark 2:18-22 “Cynthia and I are into Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I know, I know... it doesn’t fit our image. Who really cares?

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008
     | 6,413 views

    I have seen the difference believing a lie will make upon my life, and I have experienced first hand, the freedom the truth makes when I build my life upon the truth.

    We are going to start a new series today, one that will take a look at the relationship between what we believe and how we live. It is entitled, “Lies we believe.” 1. Crisis of Trutha. We live in a society that has discarded the concept or notion that there is such a thing as “absolute truth.” i. ...read more

    Contributed by Mike Quinn on Jan 19, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,374 views

    God knows what we need, at Christmas and throughout the year. The birth of Jesus caught the Hebrew people by surprise. The gift of the Messiah was different than what they expected, but God knew what they really needed.

    What do I really need this Christmas? “A Reel Look At Christmas” Luke 2:1-20 Intro idea: Funny Christmas presents, lots of times people don’t know what we really need. Sometimes we don’t even know… First movie clip of pink outfit… Luke 2:4-17 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth ...read more

    This was our Senior High Youth Worship Sunday. The worship and the sermon focussed on how much Christ applies to us all, despite all the things that are different between us... Christ is still our Lord.

    Colossians 1:15-20 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

    Jesus healed the deaf/dumb man and then told the people not to tell anyone what they had had just seen. How different He is from the many self-seekers of today’s religious’ world.

     | 4,699 views

    This morning we are going to look at 17 verses that end the book of Luke, and from those verses, we will glean the difference that the Resurrection made in the lives of the disciples then, and can make in the lives of disciples now.

    The Uptake On The Resurrection Luke 24:36-53 It’s Resurrection Sunday, and as is typical, we, as Christians, enter into worship with an upbeat spirit. Why is that? Because we know that the uptake on Christianity is found in the Resurrection, we’ve heard the end of the story. However, last month, ...read more

     | 5,858 views

    In the Third Article of the Apostles’ Creed, we boldly proclaim that we believe in the Holy Spirit. What are we saying when we make this claim? What difference does this belief make in our lives?

    1 Corinthians 12:1-11 “I Believe In The Holy Spirit” INTRODUCTION The Holy Spirit is probably the least known and understood person of the Trinity. We know that God the Father created all things. In our creeds we say that God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and is present everywhere. We know ...read more

    A Start To Walking In Love

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Oct 13, 2017
     | 5,699 views

    Walkling in the Lord's love can be quite different from earthly conceptions of what love is. This message explores a Biblical understanding of what this means and how we need to live as followers of Jesus Christ.

    Read I John 4:7-8 Jesus walked in love. Make no mistake about this. He perfectly demonstrated the statement found in verse 16 of the same chapter. “God is Love”. When Jesus offered forgiveness to the woman caught in adultery, he demonstrated love. When he told her “Go, and sin no more.” he also ...read more

     | 14,404 views

    The life of a Christian just like the life of a non-Christian. The difference is that those who put their faith and hope in God have a Savior to lean upon, to guide them and comfort them as they walk through such events.

    Hope amid life’s struggles Psalm 42 As we have watched this summer pass we have seen many difficult events break out across the world.

    as with all of Jesus’ parables there is “a message behind the message,” and this parable is no different. In a word, it’s not only important what Jesus said, but what He did not say!

    We’re going to look at James’ outrageous proposal, why Christians - above all others - are destined for trials, and how Christians should respond differently to them than other people.
