    Ask a hundred people what is worship....and you’ll probably get 100 different answers. What does the Word tell us about worship ? This series deals with "The Word On Worship"

    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

    Compares real love with "Britney-love" (the 55-hour-marriage in Las Vegas" kind of love) to discover the differences. What does the Bible say is the foundation of built-to-last relationships? *HANDOUT*

    1Co 13:1 ¶ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have ...read more

    The Lazarus story from a slightly different perspective. It asks the question "how do we respond when God doesn’t show up in time." Mary and Martha demonstrate the true nature of faith.

    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.

     | 5,902 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

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,409 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

    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.

    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.

    Uptake On The Resurrection

     | 4,736 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

    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

    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.
