| 14,492 views

Healing the relationships in our homes involves 1. Honest confession. 2. A willingness to stop the things that hurt the other person. 3. Opening our hearts to them once again and allowing them to come in.

In the Scripture reading this morning, we find one of the most dysfunctional families in the Bible. The irony is that it is a family led by one of the most godly men in the Old Testament — King David. David is described as a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14), and he was. But he was ...read more

Do you know Jesus

Do you know Jesus? I’m pretty sure every one would answer this question, with a reply of yes. But before you answer the question really take a look at your life and see what have you done to get to know Him better. During the trails and hardship in your life whom did you turn to first?

Third in a series on Matthew 24 & 25, this message focuses on the mandate to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us since Jesus is coming back and we don’t know when.

Because Jesus Is Returning . . . "Be Faithful- Matthew 25:14-30" I like reading bumper stickers. Sometimes you get an unusual combination of bumper stickers on one car that give an unintended message. One such combination was funny.

Which Jesus do you want to meet – gentle and riding on a donkey, or carrying a sword and riding on a white horse?

We’ve come to a crucial crossroads in our journey through the book of Matthew. Everything that Jesus has taught and done has been leading to this point.

What happens when Jesus inspects your life? He cursed the fig tree because it didn’t bear fruit - why? And how do we bear fruit for our Savior?

I have three fruit trees in my backyard. I would not call it an orchard – just three trees – a plum, a pear, and an apple. It’s not an orchard, nor am I an orchardist – or whatever you are when you have an orchard. I think my trees know it too – they get together every winter and say "how are we ...read more

Jesus spent a night in prayer before picking the disciples. What would our life be like if we prayed before picking OUR friends, or before making any important decision?

Our Bible lesson tonight, takes place early in the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. However, he has already been very busy.

based on 259 ratings

| 35,923 views
