    What will we find if we truly allow God to search our hearts? Will we like what we see?

    (1, 23-24) God cannot lie, God cannot die, and God cannot save an unwilling soul. In verses 1-7: There are times that we do not let some people become more totally acquainted with us. We are apprehensive they will find something about us that they do not care for. In any case, God has a deep ...read more

    Odd things about this story: Why does the Bible tells us "Jesus wept"? And why didn’t Jesus "show up" a few days earlier and make sure Lazarus didn’t die? Why allow this close personal friend to die, and allow his friends and family to mourn?

    OPEN: Back in March of 2008, the mayor of a city in SW France had a problem. It seems his village was running out of space. Not in housing, nor in the retail district, nor even at City Hall. It seems they were running out of space… in the cemetery. There was no room for any more graves. It was ...read more

    Jesus shows up to the disciples behind locked doors and reminds us: 1) Don't be surprised when he shows up in our lives. 2) Allow him to meet our doubts. 3) Allow him to open our minds to scripture, and 4) Take the witness stand for him.

    Luke 24:36-48 From Fear to Faith Rev. Roy Almquist shares a peculiar story from the bloody second Battle of Bull Run in the Civil War.

    Those who refuse to step out on faith, (no matter the amount), run the risk of allowing Jesus to pass by for the last time.

    "OPPORTUNITY ALMOST MISSED" Mark 10:46-52 (020317) Bartimeus was typical of every person making the journey through life. He was blind to what was going on around him other than what someone told him. We are blind to the things of God unless someone tells us and then we have the same choice that ...read more

    This sermon is to allow people to take a look at their spirutal lives and see if they are giving God what he is so greatly deserving of.

    The church has become an unusal place, and is full of unusal bones. The church has become so lost until we have strange requirements for our pastors to reach for us to even consider them as our pastor.
