     | 6,452 views

    Seek a genuine heart relationship with God, and not the superficial religion of the Pharisees.

    Nullification – Mark 7:1-23 This morning, I’d like to invite you to look into chapter seven of Mark’s gospel with me, and to consider what God may want to say to you from this portion of his word.

    Mothers have a very special place in our society. They set the tone for the home and the family. You have probably heard the saying “If momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy” The Bible holds the role of motherhood in high esteem. Women such as Sarah, Ra

     | 16,824 views

    Unless done in love, all of our work and sacrifice will be for nothing. How can we maintain a motivation of love?

    When you heard today’s text being read, you could be forgiven for wondering if you had inadvertently wandered into a wedding. Because the reading of chapter thirteen of Saint Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians has become as much a fixture of marriage ceremonies as unity candles, ...read more

     | 12,367 views

    If we are to be faithful disciples of Christ, and follow His example, we must be willing to disappoint others.

    Good morning! I’d like to jump right in, and begin this morning with a precious promise, one that comes directly from Christ: “28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will ...read more

  • Investing For The Long Term

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,107 views

    Unlike the crowds on Palm Sunday, who hailed Jesus as king but only days later demanded that he be crucified, we need to hold on to our faith and hope in Christ. Here's why and how.

    I’d like to begin this morning with a story. It involves these men [photo of Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs]. You probably recognize them: Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. The two men who founded Apple Computer. Right? Well, no, actually that’s not accurate. Here is a photo of the original partnership ...read more

  • Sheep Do Sheepy Things, Goats Do Goaty Things

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Aug 12, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,439 views

    Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. How then, can Jesus link our eternal destinies as "sheep" or "goats" to what we have done; i.e., whether we have served one another?

    All right. Everybody buckled up? Good. We may get jostled about a bit this morning, but our destination will be worth the drive. Let’s start with a question. It’s an important question, one of the most important questions that we are confronted with. The good news is that the gospel of Jesus ...read more

    Intro: In the classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life”, Jimmy Stewart plays George Bailey, a small town banker who is driven to the brink of suicide by the prospect of financial ruin and disgrace. He is convinced that his life has been a failure, and that it would have been better if he had never ...read more

  • Feeding On Christ

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,264 views

    What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

    Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more

  • Do We Really Want God To Forgive Our Debts As We Forgive Our Debtors?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 29, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,934 views

    If we want to be forgiven, we must forgive the sins of others against us.

    This morning, we will be hiking through some challenging spiritual terrain, but I promise that the destination will be worth the journey. I’d like to talk about one thing, one critical thing, that if done or not done can make or break a marriage, make or break a family, make or break a friendship, ...read more

    Following Christ means following him to the cross.

    There are basically two kinds of sermons on the Christian life.

But if you do this one thing; if you ...read more
