     | 5,250 views

    Distractions are often times intentional. They are created in order to get you to focus on the unimportant in order to prevent you from seeing what is really important. Can that happen at Christmas time? Do you really have to ask???

    John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. “Whoever believes in Him is ...read more

    Don't Miss This Opportunity

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Dec 8, 2013
     | 5,951 views

    Secular observance of the pre-Christmas season focuses primarily on the First Coming of Christ that occurred 2,000 years ago. As Christians, our focus is on preparation for the Second Coming, which in turn readies us to remember Christmas.

    Don’t miss this opportunity. Throughout the year, we get mailings from stores telling us of some special sale or event where they will save us tons of money on whatever it is that the stores tell us we need. It seems that quantity increases tenfold or more during the Christmas shopping time. ...read more

    When it comes to looking for Jesus we see several "types" of people in the Gospels. Are they all still with us today? What kind of person actually finds Jesus?

    Looking for Jesus. There are at least three kinds of people looking for Jesus ... Those who want nothing to do with Jesus Those who are looking for Jesus in all the wrong places Those who are looking in the right places We see all of these people in the Christmas story and you probably know ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,725 views

    It has been said that "you will never walk on water if you do not get out of the boat." And yet, too often we fail to think about the next step. This sermon is meant to encourage those afraid to step out in faith as well as those who are sinking!

    Many centuries ago, a man named Peter stood on the edge of a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Like all people who find themselves on an edge - whether physical or metaphorical - a decision had to be made. Peter’s choice was to either to step out onto the water or remain in the boat. Not an easy ...read more

    Sometimes God is silent. Pray anyway! Sometimes you might feel like God is a million miles away. Worship Him anyway! Let Him know you want to hear from Him. Ask Him to break the silence of heaven in your life.

    The sun was beginning to peer over the mountains near Bethlehem. Soon, its warmth would overcome the chill of the night. Still, it was too early for breakfast.
