    There are many things in life that distinguish us from each other. Such as:

    ? Ethnicity ? Economics ? Intelligence ? Spirituality ? Personal appearances ? Talents and skills ? Personalities Another thing that distinguishes us from each other is how we handle problems. We all have problems: But some folks do not have the slightest idea how to deal with them. While others ...read more

    The war in Iraq is a war that will go down in the history books because the Americans defeated a brutal dictator and his regime, and helped this Islamic nation gain their freedom to form a democracy.

    Thousands and thousands of lives have been destroyed in bringing about this democracy. But the price of freedom is always high. Many feel the reasons for invading Iraq and going to war with Saddam Hussein are justified. There are those, however, who accuse the President for going to war for ...read more

    Second in a series on popular illusions; and for Independence Day. Life will not cease to be a struggle if justice is not fully realized, feelings are not fully expressed, and wrong decisions are not fully reversed.

    What kind of a retirement party was this? He had worked so long, he had struggled with so many things, and now, here, at the end, it seemed there was still unfinished business. His worries were not behind him, nor were all the issues settled. And why not? Had he no right to expect that now life ...read more

Pastor Glenn Newton June 29th, 2003 Jer. 29:11 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

    Easter is a living message of hope from the other side of the grave.

    An Illinois man left Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him the next day. When he reached his hotel he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to ...read more

    This is the final sermon in a series of 8 on discipleship. This sermon finishes the look at evangelism and ties the whole series together.

    Some of the ideas in this sermon come from "Essentials in Discipleship," by Francis Cosgrove. Tonight is the last week of our 8 week study on discipleship. We began to wrap up the study last week by finishing up with evangelism. Tonight we will finish our look at evangelism and hopefully go from ...read more

    Do you feel a lack of growth? It could be that you are experiencing the effects of bad doctrine or that you need to re-connect to the root - Jesus Christ.

    The Colossians were Christians - they knew Jesus as their Savior. But what threatened them in the proto-Gnostic heresy was a lack of maturity. They were like plants - plants that hadn’t grown up and were stunted in their maturity. As Christians if we do not grow in our discipleship in Christ ...read more

    THE LIFE THAT PLEASES GOD Colossians 1:9-14 What does it mean to live a life that pleases God? If you are like most people, that simple question may leave you tongue-tied. It’s likely that you never thought about the question in such simple form. But, if you were pressed for an answer, you would ...read more

    Appreciating how god we have it in Christ.

    Life Is So Good Introduction I was reading an article in a magazine about a man named George Dawson. You may have heard about him. In 1998 he enrolled in a class to learn how to read and write, he was 98 years old. Four years later he published the story of his life. He was the grandson of ...read more

    As our merciful God is working His goodness into our hearts and lives, He requires sincerity and integrity from us.

    Living a Life of Integrity Acts 5:1-11 Intro: This is almost an unbelievable story to most people today. Can you imagine something like this happening today? I think it is safe to conclude that God does not always choose to work in this way. We do have some examples from the OT where God actually ...read more

    Modern day Sadducees still teach that a bodily resurrection is unbelievable. For what 3 reasons do they reject a teaching that is so obviously Biblical?

    (This was the last in our series "The Upside Down Teachings of Jesus" and to emphasize that theme, we played the video "Blindness" found through sermoncentral. If you’ve not seen it it is worth the time to prevue it’s powerful message). OPEN: His name was Roger Williams and he was a famous 17th ...read more

    Alive Beyond This Life Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 13, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,717 views

    God wants to give us life beyond this life, for God is love and live is never diminished. It is not something we attain by knowledge, but by trust. Two sweatshirts are pulled on and off to illustrate two ways of thinking about life beyond this life.

    God is love. So the Bible says, and that is, in a sense, all we need to know. God is love; and just as when you love someone you do not abandon them, so also the love of God, richer far than tongue or pen can ever tell, reaches to the highest height and to the lowest hell, and keeps on going ...read more
