    Do not be a Sardis. If the glory has departed, close the doors and merge with a church where God is moving.

    Rev 3:1  And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.  I am afraid that there are many churches in this situation. Growing up ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the audacious call to Abraham to sacrifice his only son and reflects on the times when we feel that God is asking too much of us. It is only in light of the sacrifice of God’s only Son that we can appreciate his call.

    When God Asks Too Much Gen. 22 and Mark 14:32ff Newland Street C/C 8/20/06 (Sunday Evening) Introduction: Have you ever felt like God was asking too much? Sometimes other people amaze us. They will ask us to do something, which we feel obligated to do, or have to come up with some excuse not to ...read more

    “We should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.” That’s not a suggestion. That’s a demand .

    Monday of Epiphany Week 2020 It’s a good idea to read St. John’s words in this first letter perhaps every week of our lives, because in it we find the key to happiness and fulfillment. John says “we receive from [God] whatever we ask.” Hmm, that’s interesting. And we recall that Jesus Himself said ...read more

    Once we have established that there is a God and that Christianity is the way to God, then a big question that might be asked is: Why would God love me? This sermon answers that question.

    Introduction: A. Every year the youngest children in a Christian preschool would steal the show at their end-of-the-year program. 1. This year they did their usual waving to parents, tugging at their clothes and at each other, and staring at the floor. 2. The highlight came when 11 ...read more

    More Than We Ask Or Imagine

    Contributed by Angel Caballero on Jun 5, 2009

     | 11,472 views

    The term “more than we ask or imagine” means that God can surpass what we ask of Him.

    Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” I’ve been meditating on this verse for almost a month now, and since then until today, I am in awe by the vast riches we have in Christ Jesus. Riches ...read more

    When God Asks For Your Isaac Series

    God asked Abraham to lay down his Isaac. His story is an incredible picture of the Cross and how God loved us enough to surrender His Son, Jesus, for our sin. Do we love Him enough to surrender our Isaac today?

    It has been said that Christians are like tea bags……they always do best when they get in hot water. In Genesis chapter 22, we find Abraham in the hottest water of his life as God tries his faith. The Bible teaches three key truths about trials in the life of a believer: 1) Trials come to ...read more

    Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians serves as a terrific model for praying for each other (and our churches, in general).

    Just for fun, let’s start with a trick question today. How many letters to the Ephesians are there in the New Testament? Well, I said it was a trick question. There are at least two. There is one that we’ll be looking at this morning and there is one in Revelation 2. You see, Ephesus was an ...read more
