    Do As I Do

     | 5,419 views

    Perhaps you heard this phrase growing up (and have repeated it to your own kids): 'do as I say, not as I do'. I can swear but if I hear you do it you're in trouble. Contrast that with what we see in the bible and we realize the right thing to be able to say is, 'do as I do'.

    DO AS I DO Perhaps you heard this phrase growing up (and have repeated it to your own kids): 'do as I say, not as I do'. That's our response when we hear, 'but you do it' or, 'but you say it'. I can swear up a storm but if I hear you do it you're in big trouble. ...read more

    Become An Example

     | 2,668 views

    Be aware that others could be following the things that you do, whether good or bad. Some things happen or are done unintentionally. But, as Christians, we should be intentional about being the best example to others we can be.

    Alba 10-1-2023 BECOME AN EXAMPLE I Thessalonians 1:6-8 Here is a story of what happened when Calvin Coolidge was President. Once he invited some friends from Vermont to dine at the White House.

    If you want to grow in kingdom character then you must pray for it, pray persistently for it, pray in faith for it, and imitate God's love.

    Throughout the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has been teaching his disciples the principles for kingdom living. He began with the beatitudes, which describes the characteristics of someone who is truly born again, and they’re progression toward godliness. They come to the Lord poor in spirit, ...read more

    Out Of The Ordinary Series

     | 4,848 views

    As God in the flesh, Jesus lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way. We too live extraordinarily in the ordinary because of the Spirit of Christ (or Holy Spirit) who indwells us.

    1. A few weeks ago I made the statement in the sermon that disciples should like Jesus. I want to explore this reality over the next few weeks. I want us to look at some of the key characteristics of Jesus and make application to ourselves. If I am going to follow Jesus that means I am going to ...read more

     | 5,780 views

    Being an imitator of Jesus means we view things differently than the world. This means we answer questions differently about significant goals in life. We have different priorities in our life than a person who does not know Jesus. We strive not to pleas

    We need to get very, very serious about promoting priestly vocations

    Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost Extraordinary Form “Ephpheta, be thou opened,” Jesus said, after groaning, “and immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment to his speech was loosed, and he spoke clearly.” Come to any baptism–as we’ll have here on Saturday the eighteenth, and you’ll hear ...read more

     | 716 views

    We are tasked with showing the glory, justice and patience of God, and we mess up, sometimes frequently.

    Fourth Sunday of Easter 2024 The Lord’s mercy endures forever. Let’s be honest, here. Do we really deserve God’s mercy, when all of us who have reached the age of reason have sins in our life, and most of us have serious sins impacting human life, or honesty, financial justice, or our human ...read more

    Thomas a Kempis wrote a famous book called :The Imitation of Christ". Good idea. What does this text teach about it?

    To Be Like Jesus 1 John 3:1-6 Exposition of the Text Verse 1: See what kind of love the Father has given to us that we should be called children of God, and we are. Wherefore the world does not know us because it did not know Him. “What kind of love” here has the meaning of ...read more

     | 2,029 views

    John uses familial, language (e.g., children, young men, and fathers) to talk about the fellowship/koinonia, the church. These are terms to describe Christian maturity. The church is energized by a flow of those in each stage of maturity.

    Has Christianity been rejected by many based on a caricature which has been mistaken for the real thing? Perhaps! Yet, John calls us back home, to our foundation, to the fundamental matters of our faith. God uses John to help the church repair that which is broken, to correct the twisted ...read more

     | 7,540 views

    Jesus calls us to love even our enemies. Thus we imitate the perfect love of the Father, and the perfect example of the Son.

    THE CALL TO PERFECT LOVE. Matthew 5:43-48. The last of the six famous parentheses (Matthew 5:21-48) between “Ye have heard that it hath been said” (Matthew 5:43), and “But I say unto you” (Matthew 5:44) - addresses the most blatantly misconstrued of these man-made interpretations of Scripture. ...read more

    What does it mean to have the "gift of serving?" How can I recognize if I have this gift and how can I use this kind of gift to glorify God?

    I read about a woman who telephoned a friend and asked how she was feeling. "Terrible," came the reply "my head's splitting and my back and legs are killing me. The house is a mess, and the kids are simply driving me crazy." The caller said, "Listen, go and lie down, I'll come over right away ...read more
