    Max Lucado once noted that sheep are dumb, defenseless and boring. Why would we want to be a sheep? The answer to that question says a lot about us and our relationship to God.

    OPEN: During Summer camp I remember hearing the following song: “I wanna be a sheep, baa baa I wanna be a sheep, baa baa I wanna be a sheep, baa baa I wanna be a sheep, baa baa” It went on to say “I don’t want to be a hypocrite… because they’re not hip with it” “I don’t want to be a Pharisee… ...read more

    Pre-Thanksgiving Sermon. Each year since the founding of FamilyFellowship we have added "leaves" to a tree. We give each person a paper leaf and ask then to write their greatest "thanks" for the year. Then we take time to add the leaves to a tree.

     | 3,732 views

    Beatitudes mean declarations of blessedness. If we were asked to describe what it means to be blessed our answers probably would not be what we find here in this list. Jesus’ is about to give us a new understanding about what brings blessedness.

The term is used in the first chapter of the bible and the last chapter of the bible. The word blessed in the Greek does have a connection to ...read more

     | 926 views

    When we merit correction or discipline, how can we or why do we grumble and complain about what type of "ROD" that God utilizes on us?

    Habakkuk 1:12 – 2:20 Now the prophet asks a second question. How can God allow such a godless nation to be allowed to bring judgment upon His children?

    A challenge to stop and hear what God would want to say in relation to his work. So often we just go ahead with good things, all the while God waits for us to ask about the best things he wants to do.
