    One of the great challenges in life is to deal with opposition and the knowledge that not everyone likes us. There are other experiences that are very hard for us to deal with and one of them is when we experience a sense of abandonment. It is then that t

    There are three ways to look at people: (1) as prey - whom we can make a profit from; (2) as trouble to avoid, or (3) as an opportunity for us to serve. The Lord says we are to minister to others, especially those in need.

    Luke 10:30-37 Seize the Opportunity to Serve 1929 words This parable tells us we can treat people in at least 3 different ways. (1) Like the robbers, sees a person as a prey. They are out to gain something from him. (2) Like the priest and the Levite, see the person as a trouble to avoid. ...read more

    Introduction: I remember when I was in fifth grade I got myself in a lot of trouble with three other kids who really didn’t like me. We constantly fought day after day. Sometimes I would win, most of the time they would. This went on for a long time until one day as I was walking home from school ...read more

    Sometimes the ordinary seems mundane, but occasionally it turns exraordinary. This is a narrative of an ordinary day turning into much more. Even a "nobody" can do something extraordinary in the hands of God.

    Jael’s Extraordinary Day Judges 4:17-24 Jael’s life was nothing if not predictable. Living in the low mountains of Eastern Israel, bordering Canaan, among the scorpions and rocks and dust, Jael’s life was difficult at best, and monotonous at worst. Boredom and monotony were her ...read more

    Does Your Heart Sing? Psalm 40:1-11 January 20, 2008 I know that this may sound pretty odd…maybe crazy to you. As I look back on my years in ministry, I can say that some of the most profound experiences I have had have been associated with death and dying. I generally tend to lump people into ...read more

    The Land And Death Series

    Contributed by Gary Moore on Feb 6, 2008

    This message deals in part with Paul’s view of law and grace.

    Apart from the law, sin lies dead. I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. The meaning of this section of Romans is laden with controversy. Is this an autobiographical account of Paul’s futile struggle to do what is right? If so, is Paul ...read more
