     | 12,793 views

    This sermon focuses on the interaction between Jesus, Zacchaeus, the Pharisee's and the community at large. Lost People matter to God. You can overcome a critical spirit and God cares about families.

    We come this morning to one example of what I consider to be the most difficult part of the Bible to understand. So I’m just going to name it for what it is, right up front. This scene of Deborah calling members of the Israelite tribes into battle is just one story among many of the seemingly ...read more

    In today's world, a well told story will be heard regardless of the content. Luke tells Paul's conversion story, giving us a framework in which to share ours. Consider these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.

    Read Acts 9:1-31. Pray. What is the most memorable sermon illustration you’ve ever heard? I’m pretty confident that the first thing that came to mind was a story. I’ll take it one step further- I’ll bet it was a personal story the preacher told on himself. If I’m wrong, you can collect an extra ...read more

    I use a series of movements to weave the story of Charles Colson's conversion into the story of the crowd following Jesus looking for that which lasts. I seek to show how the "Bread of Life" is the solution for the longings of humankind.

He was 41 years old, the first in his family to go to college (Brown University) and was one of three partners in a very successful law firm; so successful that it ...read more

    A sermon for Easter Sunday.

    Mark 16:1-6 "24 Hours that Changed the World: Christ the Victor" It's not a mistake, the way the author of Mark's Gospel begins chapter 16.

    The sermon points out five changes Jesus brought to the man possessed by demons. I identify what his life was like before Jesus and what it was like after encountering Him.

    Before and after! From our cardboard testimonies you have seen the message of what a person’s life was like before Jesus and what it is like after Jesus comes into their life. Maybe you need Jesus to make a difference in your life today! Let’s look at the story of a man who experienced ...read more
