    A chilly Thanksgiving morning, floats rolled by the Macy’s Department store in New York City. Big balloons follow. Resonant bands and peppy pompom girls. The Rockettes dance to the tune of New York, New York. Then through all the glitter and dance a hush

    Patrick role modeled for the Christian community what it means to forgive others. He also taught us that we have to follow the call of God because it will make a difference in this world. He became a hero by winning the Irish to Jesus Christ.

    If you want to know that you know the Lord, then listen to the Lord, live like the Lord, and love like the Lord.

    I want to give you a little quiz just to see how much you know. If you have a pen and paper, you can write down your answers if you want. Here are the questions: a. How long did the Hundred Years War last? b. Which country makes Panama hats? c. From which animal do we get catgut? d. In which ...read more

    Different Roles, Same Assignment

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 9, 2021
     | 6,898 views

    There are some in the body of Christ who see those with public roles (ministries) in the body of Christ as being more valuable to the kingdom than those who don’t. But this is simply not true when you see “the big picture.”

    Over the years, I’ve known Christians who, because they didn’t have public ministries, believed that they were, somehow, second tier to those who did. They were not preaching. They were not teaching Sunday school. They didn’t lead the choir. They served on committees. They were not unhappy. They ...read more

    It’s Worth The Cost

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 27, 2022
     | 3,717 views

    If we are truly going to be Jesus’ disciple, there will be a cost involved. And for those willing to make that sacrifice, God will be able to pour out His power and glory through that person.

    Please turn with me to Luke 14. Sometimes when I say the word “Luke” I want to go all Star Wars! L-U-K-E. (Laughter) The more I spend time in the gospels, the more I see that what Jesus asks of us, He has already had to do Himself. When Jesus taught what He taught, He not only spoke from a ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,602 views

    Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.

    Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more

    The Disciple Peter - Former Memories Kindled – Part 4 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 14, 2022
     | 1,546 views

    Peter was miserable for 2 plus days with the whole sense of failure drowning him. His whole life changed when he had that special encounter with the Lord and was restored. God deals in restoration for all of us and lifts us out of failure.

    THE DISCIPLE PETER - FORMER MEMORIES KINDLED – PART 4 OF 4 SERIES - THE CHARACTERS IN JOHN’S GOSPEL John 20 v 1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb, John 20:2 and so she ran and came ...read more

    Today, we will explore what it truly means to commit to church membership, why it matters, and how it strengthens both our faith and the church itself. Through this journey, we’ll see how membership allows us to grow, serve, and fulfill our calling as followers of Christ.

    “When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them ...read more

    The Touch That Transformed

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Feb 16, 2003
    based on 71 ratings
     | 11,351 views

    Every Christian must ultimately decide whether they will continue to follow their own self-devised path or make full commitment to Christ, and that decision is often made in the midst of a crisis.

    The Touch That Transformed Text: Gen.32: 30-31 Intro: A study in the life of Jacob, the son of Isaac, reveals much about human nature. More importantly, it reveals many spiritual truths about the Christian’s walk with God that need to be acknowledged and applied to daily life. I won’t take ...read more

    Unity among His followers was so important to Jesus that He prayed that you and I would be one. When the church is united, the world will stand up and take notice.

    Be United with One Another One Sunday a minister was giving a children’s sermon to all the kids in church. A bright-eyed three-year-old girl was listening intently as he explained that God wanted them all to get along and to love one another. She was tracking with her pastor until he said, ...read more

    Taking Time To Give Thanks Series

     | 26,609 views

    When we think of God’s work in the lives of other believers, we should be moved to thankfulness for the faith, hope, and love that we see demonstrated in Christ followers.

    Taking Time to Give Thanks Several weeks ago, when we were organizing our file cabinet, I came across some love letters from Beth that I’ve kept ever since we were dating. When I found this folder, I immediately stopped working, sat down in the middle of the floor, and started browsing through ...read more
