  • Ephesus: Labor Without Love

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 5, 2020
     | 6,606 views

    Jesus commended the church in Ephesus for their commitment in the midst of opposition, but unfortunately, He had to address their lack of passion for Him. They were a busy church, but they had lost their zeal for the Lord.

    Ephesus: Labor without Love Revelation 2: 1-7 Today I want to begin a series in which we will examine the letters to seven individual churches that Jesus gave to John in the Revelation. As we move through these letters in the coming weeks, bear in mind, these were written to literal, active ...read more

    Greatest Story Ever Told's Opening Act Tweaked To Advance Assorted Agendas

    In the frantic effort to co-opt all of culture to advance the cause of comprehensive revolution, not even the symbols of the sacred and solemn are immune from being hijacked for the purposes of advancing the agenda. In fact, it is often the only time that otherwise intended for destruction will be ...read more

  • The Cultural Impact Of Worldview & Apologetics

    The Cultural Impact Of Worldview & Apologetics

    Here at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Apologetics as an evangelistic endeavor and intellectual theological outreach finds itself in something of a paradox. When the West thought of itself in terms of resting on broadly Judeo-Christian assumptions, the discipline was not as desperately ...read more

  • Whom Do We Follow?

    Contributed by Ed Lu on Aug 15, 2013
     | 6,393 views

    Knowing who the Lord is and actively following Him.

    The 4 gospel books tell of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ. In essence, the life of our Lord Jesus Christ is the object lesson that teaches us about God. He is the Word who became Flesh. The Word is about Jesus and Jesus Himself is the Living Word. The Word that we read is more than just a study ...read more

  • What's Going On Around Here?

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on May 1, 2013
     | 7,008 views

    In the so-called mainline churches, many members cling to the adage, "We've never done it that way before!" As the religious people in Jesus' time discovered, hanging on to the old will blind us to the new thing that God is doing in our midst.

    Our lectionary passages this morning concern radical change, perhaps none more radical that Peter's vision in the 11th chapter of Acts. Most of us don't give much thought to what we eat and, if we do, our concern is more with calories than holiness. We don't consider food groups to be "clean" or ...read more

  • Reasons To Be An Optimist Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on May 7, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,678 views

    This is the tenth message in a series over the first five chapters of the book of Romans. This message examines the reasons that the Gospel gives us for being optimistic.

    By definition an optimist is one that expects the best possible outcome of any given situation. Most of us would have to admit that we have a lot of difficulty remaining optimistic. Paul presented an argument that on the surface seems to leave us very little room for being optimistic. In fact, Paul ...read more

    Interesting things happen when the devil shows up at church

    The Devil at Church Jerry Watts Mark 1:21-28 * This story occurs in the normal flow of the life pattern of our Lord. He has just given the call to the fisherman to ‘follow me’ and now, in a very normal pattern for Him, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath to teach. This man who ...read more

  • Not Of This World

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Oct 19, 2012
     | 6,467 views

    Jesus is preparing us for the worst to comprehend just how ugly, destructive and brutal sin is and why it should have no place in our lives or in God’s Kingdom.

    Not of this World Readings:NIV John 8:23 23 But he continued, You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. John 14:1-11 1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Fathers house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would ...read more

  • Best Laid Plans

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 2, 2013
     | 4,738 views

    Continuing a series in the letter of James I ask to what extent our plans match up with God's plans.

    We come to the 10th episode of our series in the New Testament letter of James. His Hebrew name is Yaakov. He was a half-brother of Jesus, and he was one of the earliest leaders of the church in Jerusalem after the resurrection of Jesus. In this section James (4:13) addresses believers who have ...read more

  • The Source Of Self-Worth

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 4, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 17,656 views

    Jesus teaches three ways NOT to go after self-worth, and then concludes with the only truly lasting and meaningful way to find one's worth. Not only that, but he models that true way for us.

    Matthew 23:1-12 The Source of Self-worth Do you ever wonder why some people are such jerks? Sometimes people can be so cruel to others! And yet, behind the facade of the bully lies a deep insecurity, a fear of rejection. Our bookstores are full of books about self-worth. I did a quick search on ...read more

    Let's talk more about the 3 disciples of solitude, community, and ministry (Material adapted from Henri Nouwen in Leadership Journal Spring 1995, article entitled, "Moving from Solitude to Community to Ministry")

    HoHum: Bill Hybels- If we are involved in the marketplace at all, we are trained to believe that time is money. That’s why we talk about managing time, using it efficiently and profitably.
