    Beatitudes Series

    Contributed by Joe Friend on Feb 6, 2008
     | 12,462 views

    When we hunger and thirst of righteousness then you will find your happiness. When we develop a heavenly hunger for Jesus everything else will seem meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

    We all want to be happy, Right? We want to go through life with a feeling of accomplishment that brings happiness. Sometimes happiness can be a short lived experience in life. Kinda like a kid buying a happy meal at McDonalds. Kids love happy meals don’t they? It doesn’t matter where we are my ...read more

    Believers are puttering around wondering why their Christian life isn’t working – it’s simple, they have sin attached beneath the surface of their lives that needs to be removed.

    Two brothers, Harry and James, were playing right before bedtime, and somehow Harry hit James with a stick. Tears and bitter words followed and they were still angry as their mother prepared them for bed. Mother said, "Now James, before you go to bed you’re going to have to forgive your ...read more

    May the Lord open our eyes to dirty feet and give us a heart to wash them.

    Read John 13:1-10. This story is one of the most memorable incidents in Bible. It was the night before Jesus’ betrayal and crucifixion. It was an intense time in Jesus’ life. His public ministry had ended. Jesus now turns his full attention to his disciples. I want you to imagine this situation ...read more

    When we fail to forgive others who have hurt us we give in to the spirit of revenge and resentment.

    After spending 3-1/2 hours enduring the long lines, surly clerks and insane regulations at the Department of Motor Vehicles, I stopped at a toy store to pick up a gift for my son. I brought my selection - a baseball bat - to the cash register. "Cash or charge?" the clerk asked. "Cash," I snapped. ...read more

    In the church there are a lot of Rip Van Winkle Christians--who go to sleep not long after they made the decision to follow Christ.

    Ephesians 5:8-14 INTRODUCTION: How many have heard the statement, “They are as different as day and night.”? Paul is using this same kind of contrast between darkness and light when he is speaking of the old life without Christ as compared to the new life in Christ. In this scripture Paul is ...read more

    The message today might seem a bit harsh but Jesus spoke and we have to preach it. I admit I am more comfortable whispering repentance and shouting grace.

    TEXT; MATTHEW 5:27-32 TITLE: “Would You Be Blind” INTRODUCTION: Most Sundays I am excited to preach. I’m usually fired up to prepare a message and present it. I have to admit that it’s not really the case today. The passage we’re going to study this morning is a tough and controversial ...read more

    This message will focus on the salvation message in order to help believers learn a gospel presentation they can share with their friends. Believers are also urged to invite their non-Christian friends and family members to this “reaping” service.

    Telling His Story Rev. Brian Bill 3/18/01 I want to begin this morning by reading part of an article written by Bob Greene, a nationally syndicated columnist. “In the hours after the carnage at the school near San Diego—as the sick, too familiar, pit-of-the-stomach feelings returned—the nation ...read more

    Wasn’t it obvious that the reason why these four men had brought their paralytic friend to Christ was because they wanted to see their friend healed! Why did Jesus begin with a message on forgiveness first?

    Rather than giving you an entire message, here is a brief devotional thought for you to consider from the message that I preached this past Sunday Morning, enjoy: The text is in Mark Chapter two. Four men brought their paralytic friend to Christ. They wanted him healed. When they came to the ...read more

    Come on in this house the table is set and the feast of the Lord is going on, but in order to eat at this table you must be His friend. Servants don’t eat at the master’s table, but friends do.

    “Come Let Us Break Bread Together” Luke 14:15-24 Naturally my mind began to think about the Lord’s Supper when on the night He was betrayed took bread: and when He had given thanks, he break it and said , Take eat: this is my body, which is broken for you, then he took the cup and said this ...read more

    The theme will be relationships. This worship experience will focus on our relationships with family and friends. The challenge will be to move from merely going through the activities of Christmas with our family and friends to knowing those we love on a

    Last week we learned that the spirit of Christmas is relationships, beginning with our relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

    This Sunday in our series, “Parables to Live By,” our of Luke’s gospel, we’ll be looking at the Parable of “The Friend at Midnight,” whose overarching theme is about prayer and our knocking on Heaven’s door for God to hear our plea.

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 23, 2013
     | 5,494 views

    This message addresses the ironic situation we find ourselves in today: more connected than ever yet lonelier than ever. The message focuses on the idea that having 2 or 3 good friends is more important than having 600 Facebook "friends."
