    Im The One To Blame

     | 3,380 views

    We should do more looking out than looking in to see the truly valuable things of God in the lost people all around us. Break the alabaster box of your heart and pour out the love of God that is in you over them.

    I’m the One to Blame When people examine the Easter story they often find many people to blame for Jesus betrayal, arrest, trial and crucifixion. In fact you could say it is a cast of thousands. Oddly enough while reading this familiar passage I was struck at how easily those who were ...read more

    Breaking Our Flask

     | 7,152 views

    Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

    Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more

     | 11,870 views

    This is the first in a six part Easter Series. The premise comes from Phil. 2:5-7 where it states that Jesus "emptied Himself, taking on the form of a bond-servant." We too need to be emptied so we can be filled with the fullness of Christ alone.

    TITLE: “Drained” #1 in the SERIES: “Empty” MAIN TEXT: Mark 14:3-9 Today, we start a new series that will lead us into RESURRECTION SUNDAY! EMPTY! (Allow me to set the foundation for all that I believe God wants to say to us.) I have been contemplating and praying about ...read more

    The Lord is pleased to choose the humblest, and lowliest, and weakest servants to carry His transforming truth. He has put the priceless treasure of new covenant-saving gospel truth in clay pots.

    2 Corinthians 4:7 - “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” Jars are fragile things. They break easily. Jars of clay are also cheap things. They are not made of fine china or expensive ivory. Paul says he and his Apostolic band ...read more
