    I'm Learning To Lean

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 24, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 76 views

    Intelligence is a gift, but it was never meant to carry the weight of the soul. Jesus invites thoughtful people to stop standing alone and abide.

    The Honest Starting Point Thoughtful people do not arrive at faith lightly. They arrive carrying questions, experiences, and scars earned through paying attention. Discernment was not learned in a classroom alone; it was learned in rooms where trust failed, promises collapsed, and someone had to ...read more

    - Alright—serious question…. Who in here is a morning person? o Who is definitely NOT a morning person? - One of the things I’ve learned over the years is that morning people like me can be really annoying to non-morning people. o I think I first learned that lesson when I was ...read more

    If we want to raise grand kids, then we must teach them to obey without putting them down, but bringing them up to follow Christ.

    Several years ago (1997), Reeve Lindbergh, daughter of aviator Charles Lindbergh, was invited to give the annual Lindbergh Address at the Smithsonian Institution's Air and Space Museum.

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 9, 2023
     | 1,468 views

    When we encounter the completely true thought that “we are not good enough” our society and our need for self-esteem creep up and we take our helmet of salvation off because we are disillusioned with God and we open ourselves up for temptation and doubt.

    THE ARMOR OF GOD AND THE LIES OF THE ENEMY Helmet of Salvation: We Are Not Good Enough Ephesians 6:10-18 #armorofGod INTRODUCTION… Start with the End in Mind This morning I want to share with you where we will end up in our time looking at God’s Word and then I want to rewind and get us there. ...read more

    Children Who Learn Series

     | 22,559 views

    My attempt this morning is to communicate a biblical perspective on parenting so that we can do exactly that ­ have the confidence as parents to raise our children properly. Parents, simply put, our job is to teach our children how to obey.

    Children Who Learn I love the things kids come up with. A Sunday School teacher asked her class one day why it was so important to be quiet in the church worship service. One bright little girl replied, “Because people are sleeping.” After coming home from church, one boy suddenly announced to ...read more

    based on 30 ratings
     | 12,657 views

    If you are not confrontational, or struggle with the intellectual style, perhaps you are more comfortable giving your testimony or focusing on the friends God has placed in your life. When the blind man was asked who Jesus was, he simply gave a testimony

    Discovering Your Style, Part 2 Rev. Brian Bill 3/4/01 Now that my 40th birthday is in my rear-view mirror, I’m starting to experience the joy of a marginal memory.

    If we are born from above we are one of God’s peculiar people, an immortal, a member of the Royal priesthood; we are a chosen one!

    A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD INTRODUCTION It is quite evident that a large number of Christians prefer to read religious articles, which wrap them in comfortable warm and fuzzy feelings. This is perfectly understandable, and the Holy Bible is our best source for such a message. After all, there is truth in ...read more

    A look at God as our hero from Isaiah 9:6 and Zephaniah 3:16-20.

    I don’t know what it was but for some reason when I was on vacation I just started to notice some of the weirdest things. I saw a sign in a restaurant that read, “This is a drug-free work place.” Really? Was that a change in policy? Was there a time when the sign could have said, “The whole ...read more

    The Lord Is My Shepherd (Part Two)

     | 9,772 views

    Psalm 23 is perhaps the most well-known Psalm. It's often quoted at funerals. Although you may be familiar with it, have you ever really studied it? Last week we looked at verses 1-3. Today we'll finish looking at David's 23rd Psalm. Let's see what we can learn.

    THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD (part two)-Psalm 23:4-6 Last week I talked about some of the dynamics of shepherding sheep. If they wander off they can't find their way home. They need a shepherd who cares about and looks out for them. David knew all about that because he was once a shepherd. He takes ...read more

     | 6,921 views

    James moves from how to handle trials to how to handle temptations. Even though temptation is inevitable and giving into temptation is inexcusable, we can learn that temptation is predictable and conquerable.

    Introduction: A. Once there was a little boy who always went next door to play alone in the neighbor’s yard even though his mom had warned him against doing so. 1. This frustrated and worried his mom so she asked him why he was so disobedient. 2. He replied that Satan tempted him so much and he ...read more
