     | 9,382 views

    In Christ there’s an ‘Under New Management’ sign sitting over our lives and there’s countless changes God wants to work in you. He definitely bought us for a reason—to truly make you his—and this series is about going into the Word, opening ourselves up t

    We will see victory in the Christian life to the extent that we embrace God’s thoughts and abandon worldly patterns of thought.

    Thinking God’s Thoughts, Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:17-20 Introduction In the Christian life there is perhaps no other doctrine which is more directly applicable or important than that of the renewal of the mind. Indeed, is it not the continual and ongoing process of the changing of the thought ...read more

     | 7,277 views

    In light of God’s Word, we need to examine how well we are doing in the area not only of providing care for the needy, but of defending their cause and seeing that their voice is heard.

    Isaiah 1:21-26 Purging the Dross 7/9/00 D. Marion Clark Introduction What we come to the Bible for is content. We value the Bible for what it has to reveal to us from God.

    This message was inspired (outline borrowed) from another pastor. The call of Christ is more pressing and demanding than the average believer considers it to be.

    Following Christ Luke 9:57-62 * In his book "None of These Diseases”, S. I. McMillen, tells a story of a young woman who wanted to go to college, but her heart sank when she read the question on the application blank that asked, "Are you a leader?"

    One might say the future is here --- and we might want to send it back for a refund.

    What image comes to mind when you think about a hero riding in to save the day? Jesus, our ultimate action hero, rides into Jerusalem to save the day for humanity, but not in the way you would imagine, not this time anyway.

    When you picture the hero coming in to save the day you probably think of a tall guy in a tall hat riding in on tall white horse with a couple of shotguns off of his saddle and two in his hands. Well, our ultimate action hero, Jesus, rides into Jerusalem all right—but on a tall white horse? ...read more

    Consider Joshua's motivation - pray boldly to see that God's will is done. Consider his commitment - work hard to see that God's work is finished.

    Joshua made an audacious prayer. It was a prayer for the impossible. The fact that he even thought of it surprises everyone. • Today we want to look at his motivation behind that prayer, and his commitment to fulfilling God’s will. The chapter opens with 5 opposing Amorite armies ...read more

    As Jesus entered Jerusalem he told the Pharisees, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

    For the next few moments I want you to try to imagine what it must have been like to be among those who stood on the streets of Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday.

    Spiritual vacuum. Hunger for God. Seeking God in solitary places. Waiting on the Lord. Stillness. 3 types of silence. "Look unto Me and be saved." Fixing our eyes on Him. Admitting weakness, embracing Omnipotence.

    Like the early Israelites, we can sing with confidence, because God watches over us, God protects us, and God is with us. We have nothing to fear.

    Psalm 121 Help is on the Way! We live in a time of great uncertainty, of fear of what the future may hold. If you asked me a couple of months ago, I never would have predicted that the world would be caught up in a deadly new strand of coronavirus.
