    Finding joy does not involve making your circumstances better - it involves making your mind work like Jesus’ mind. Find out how and how unity works with different kinds of people.

    John 17:20-21 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. It was Jesus’ prayer that ...read more

    In urging Timothy to train himself in godliness, Paul borrowed a term from the realm of athletics. The verb which is variously translated in different versions of the Bible as “exercise,” “discipline,” or “train” originally referred to the training of yo

    TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:7 TITLE: TRAIN YOURSELF TO BE GODLY The apostle Paul did not take for granted the godliness of his spiritual son Timothy. Though Timothy had been his companion and co-laborer for a number of years, Paul still felt it necessary to write to him, “(exercise) train yourself to be ...read more

    Wise Or Unwise Series

     | 3,655 views

    In this sermon I sought to be led of the Spirit to inspire the desire to have wisdom, and then contras hellish, and heavenly wisdom. Our churches need wise counsel, and the world needs to see the difference heavenly wisdom makes.

    WISE or UNWISE: James 3:13-18 {13} Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. {14} But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. (15} This ...read more

     | 2,361 views

    Scripture indicates who different people said Jesus was. As we reflect on the Lord’s supper we will look at those passages and then pose the question who do you say Jesus is?

    A Celebration of Remembrance January 2, 2005 Intro: Today, we are going to begin 2005 with a communion celebration. We will reflect on the sacrifice of Christ and what it means for us. When Jesus instituted The Lord’s Supper, he instructed his disciples to do this to remember him. “And he took ...read more

    What Do I Really Need This Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Mike Quinn on Jan 19, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,394 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

    Jesus Prayed For Complete Unity!

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,519 views

    A short talk for a midweek Communion calling upon local believers to pray for, work for and live for the complete unity that Jesus prayed for. Not uniformity (because we're all different) but UNITY, in Jesus.

    Jesus prayed to his Heavenly Father for you. On the night he was betrayed and arrested (John 18:2), after he had washed his disciples’ feet (13:5), Jesus prayed an important prayer for you as individuals, for us together, and for the worldwide body of believers. He prayed for future ...read more

    Matthew 10 records how the disciples become GOSPEL TERRORISTS, terrorists of a very different kind who are going to fire some LOADED TRUTH GRENADES right in the middle of the nation of Israel, not to destroy but to save.

    Part 15 - Matthew 10:16-18 - GOSPEL TERRORISTS! TRUTH GRENADES! Last night on the news I heard a report from Afghanistan - how the religious terrorist group called the Taliban killed many people with a suicide bomb. It is a common occurrence to see such news reports and deeply disturbing. A ...read more

     | 6,433 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

    Easter C: In jokes, the third person often provides the punch line. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus raised two people from the dead, but his resurrection was different-- God’s punch line.

    Please join me again in proclaiming the Easter greeting: Alleluia! Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia! Among our brothers and sisters in Christ in Eastern Orthodox traditions, Easter is a time for humor. After the seriousness of Lent, and the heaviness of Holy Week, Easter is ...read more

    How To Know God

    Contributed by Greg Smart on Nov 11, 2002
    based on 20 ratings
     | 2,868 views

    Many different ideas about God. From the atheist who believes there is no God. To the religious pharisee who would believe you’d go to hell if you don’t live a perfect life.

    HOW TO KNOW GOD The fool has said in his heart there is no God. Ps 14:1. Many people today have their own ideas about God. Atheist, no God. Many people think of God as granddaddy, sit up on my lap and everthing will be alright. Religious, everything from God don’t care what we do just as long as ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,877 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

    Paul lists different people groups in the church and then advises Timothy how to treat them. 1- The older men 2- The younger men 3- The older women 4- The younger women 5- The widows

    INTRO.- We must admit there is a discrimination in our world: racial, political, religious, financial, and any other kind you want to talk about.

    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.

    COUNT IT ALL JOY James 1:1-4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: EVOLUTION JOKE 1.

    Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

    You know something is important when someone repeats it a second time. You can also know if something is important when they say the same thing again, but in a different way, so that if you didn’t get it the first time, you might get it the second time. It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more
