    We often allow the pain of our past to continue to rule us in our present and predetermine our future. Where you are now is not where you have to stay.

    There exist in this world in which we live a countless number of hurting, injured, abused and dysfunctional people that are living a virtual life of the “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. Those of you that are old enough may remember that movie that was released in 1968. The plot was based upon ...read more

    Truly we live in a time that is frantic with fear. Being cautious will allow us to work in God’s Kingdom while living in fear will cause the Kingdom to shut down.

    Trepidation Is Not a Dinosaur 2 Timothy 1:6-11 5-year old Johnny was in the kitchen as his mother made supper. She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. "It’s dark in there and I’m scared." She asked again, and he persisted. Finally ...read more

    March 2007 Pastor’s Letter - Transformation often consumes the past in favor of the present reality of Christ; requiring us to allow the past to go peacefully to its rest.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,315 views

    In the Discipline of service there is also great liberty. Service allows us to say ’no!’ to the world’s games of promotion and authority. It abolishes our need and desire for a ’pecking order’

    In 2006 success is measured by the size of our great wealth, the popularity of our ministry, the size of our Church, In this we seem to miss the mark of being a true servant leader in the kingdom of God.. Our example in all things is the Lord Jesus himself The servant is not greater than his ...read more

    Is Jesus Your Teacher? Series

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 9, 2004
    based on 36 ratings
     | 6,248 views

    If a fully trained student is like his teacher, we need to seriously consider who we allow to hold that position in our life and in our children’s lives.

    In this part of Luke’s gospel we see how Jesus began to get into trouble with the religious leaders. Chapter 5 tells us how he touches a leper and later announces to a man that his sins are forgiven, then he demonstrates his authority to forgive by healing the man. He doesn’t fast like he’s ...read more

    This passage reveals the character and attitude of Paul in at least two ways that, if we will follow his example, will allow us to be the kind of people who run the race well.

    If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more: 5circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, ...read more

    Time To Change Seats Series

    Contributed by Blake Inscore on Sep 1, 2008
    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,954 views

    To “change seats” when it comes to our relationship with the Lord requires us to give up trying to “fly” our own lives and allow Jesus to set our course.

    Introduction: Today we are continuing our series of messages on the importance of love and unity in the Church. When we began several weeks ago we saw that the key to unity within the Body of Christ is love. That is why Paul said in Colossians 3:14—“Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of ...read more

    Showing Up For The Battle Is Not Enough!

    The Israelites show up for Battle but are delayed because they allow Goliath to define the terms of battle. God's people need to get into the valley because it isn't fought on the hillside.

    Showing Up For Battle I Samuel 17 Preached on Sunday, July 29, 2012 This is one of the most difficult sermons I have ever had to preach. I thought it would be Wednesday evening’s Bible Study, but the Lord would not let me escape preaching it on Sunday morning. The story found in ...read more
