    Childlike Not Childish

     | 46,347 views

    Remember Jesus words to us: Unless you become as a child again, you will not inherit the kingdom of heaven! Our Lord does not mean there is anything wrong with maturing in growing up. There is a big difference between being child-like and childish.

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; there are four Scripture Readings before the Sermon. The Scripture Readings for this day were: Isaiah 40:1-11; Psalm 85:1-2,8-13; 2 Peter 3:8-15 and Mark 1:1-8. An elderly widow decided it was too much trouble to get all of her children and ...read more

    The Questions Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Oct 19, 2009

     | 7,571 views

    Christmas brought three questions which every person needed to deal with as they encountered the Christ child. Christmas isn’t so much about what God has done for us as it is about our response to the Christ child and to these questions.

    The Questions of Christmas Luke 2:8-20 It’s tough to miss Christmas if you live in America today. We hear the ads on the radio and TV, see the lighted houses and buildings, the decorated yards in our neighborhoods, and the displays inside every store remind us Christmas is coming in case we’ve ...read more

    Everlasting Father

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jan 8, 2022
     | 4,030 views

    Everlasting Father. Of all the titles given to the Christ-child, this one, Everlasting Father, probably raises the most questions. It is really intriguing. After all, how can a child be a father? And how can a newborn be so old as to be called everlasting?

    Alba 12-26-2021 EVERLASTING FATHER Isaiah 9:6 You know, God couldn’t wait to tell people about the coming of Christmas. So 700 years beforehand, 2,700 years ago now, God foretold the Christmas story by choosing a prophet named Isaiah to tell the world about a an amazing baby. Isaiah’s prophecy ...read more

    Today, we gather for a special occasion: the dedication of a child. This is a moment where we acknowledge God’s gift of life and commit to raising this child in the ways of the Lord. I want us to reflect on the importance of nurturing children in the way of the Lord.

    Rejection Denied.

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,252 views

    So just what is rejection? For a child, it could be another child not sharing. -For a teen, feelings of not fitting in. Constant peer pressure. -For an adult, rejection might come by prejudice, race, religion, rejection comes with many faces.

    Rejection Denied. Romans 15:7TPT Rejection is one of the most painful experiences known to mankind. I can remember my first year in High School/9th grade. I was going by the lunchroom when a girl motioned for me to come close to the window. When I did, she shouted, “You’re ugly!” The words ...read more

     | 4,724 views

    Jesus sent them out in teams for a purpose. From this outreach mission we can adopt principles of Prayer, Relationships and Acts of Kindness for Yahweh’s Kingdom. Conveniently that forms an acronym: PRAY.

    Have you ever wished that you could live your life in a protective bubble – a life full of everything good, with all of the bad stuff removed? I know that I certainly have – and I look forward to, and long for, the Day when God will transform forever the world as we know it. The wonderful future ...read more

     | 6,057 views

    I fear that the Jesus so many people have become comfortable with or adopted is not the real Jesus of the bible? And so for the next four weeks we’re going to meet the real Jesus.

    Philip Yancey wrote a book titled “The Jesus I Never Knew.” In it he confesses that he didn’t know the real Jesus. His Jesus was blonde haired and blue eyed and moved about on a flannel board. He grew up learning about how lovely and friendly Jesus was. And then as an adult he ...read more

    If we adopt the Abraham/Sarah pattern of abandoning trust in divine promises, and choosing our preferred detours, and if we laugh at the promises of God, we invite catastrophe, and ensure that God will have the last laugh.

    Advent 2 2018 - Observing Mary Series

     | 5,922 views

    Some tend to over emphasize Mary; while others tend to nearly dismiss her. What can we learn from Scriptures that show us the heart of Mary? Mary is indeed a good example for us to follow.

    Observing Mary Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of ...read more

    Has the Bethlehem child changed your life? If He is your Lord and King … if He reigns over your heart and soul … if He has changed your life … then He rules over your heart and soul and life with perfect truth and grace then you can’t help but sing: Joy to the world!

    I head a story about a woman who was doing her last-minute Christmas shopping at a crowded mall. She was tired of standing in lines. She was tired of fighting her way down long aisles looking for a gift … only to find out that it had sold out days before. Her arms were full of bulky packages ...read more

    Pray Not Prey! Series

     | 8,081 views

    In a world where much is taken in the removal of innocence we can make a difference in prayer. Follow Jesus pattern, prayer and involvement.

    Luke 11: 1-13, Pray don’t prey! Jesus teaches his disciples how to pray. The prayer he teaches them is the Prayer that we now know as ‘The Lord’s Prayer’. He then sums the whole thing about praying up with a bit of a story. Jesus said something like this. “Suppose ...read more

    immediately after Jesus was baptized by John he was forced into the desert by the Holy Spirit

    Mark 1:9-15 Today is the first Sunday of Lent – the annual period of self-reflection leading to the joy and celebration of Easter. It is also the Sunday that we hear in the reading about the baptism of Jesus and God's affirmation that He is His "well-beloved son." It helps ...read more

    A Personal Inventory

    The end of a year means the beginning of inventory for many businesses. It is also a good time to take inventory of our lives before we adopt any New Year’s resolutions.

    A PERSONAL INVENTORY “The young man said to Him, ‘All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?” Matthew 19:20. For many businesses, the end of the year is the beginning of inventory. It is also a good time for us to take inventory of our spiritual life and the degree of our ...read more

    Though evil plotted heavily against Jesus He remained in total control of every situation. Sometimes do you adopt the ways of the world to accomplish God’s will?

    Have you ever met someone who really comes across as having it together and being pretty impressive? I’m reminded of that old TV show The Pretender. In it a guy named Jared could instantly become anyone he wanted: a doctor, a cop, a scientist, whatever. He wasn’t really any of those things and ...read more
