     | 138 views

    Here are key points about the kind of father children dream of, using the acronym F.A.T.H.E.R. (translated from A.Y.A.H. in Indonesian):

    THE FATHER CHILDREN DREAM OF A good father becomes a hero to his children. It’s not uncommon for a child to answer, when asked what they want to be when they grow up, “I want to be like my dad.” However, the image of a father can fade away if he fails to be a role model. Not only might he be ...read more

    You cannot judge someone else for your own tolerance. What have you been tolerating? Isn't it about time to say, "ENOUGH!" Jesus thinks so. To overcome you must repent which means to do CHRIST’S WILL to the end. How?

He told me that the first 30 years were the toughest in a marriage. I asked him, well how many years have you been married? ...read more

    An Annoying, Discombobulating, Fuzzy-Toothed Inconvenience

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 10, 2010
     | 3,629 views

    At the end of a year, we can choose to let go of things that have weighed us down in the previous year. We can lose some of the baggage that we carry around and choose to replace it with the love of Christ.

    How many times have you stood forsaken at the baggage carousel, watching the luggage track spit out piece after piece of luggage, but never yours? Why is it, when all chance of my suitcase ever showing up is gone, I feel compelled to stand there and watch the few remaining orphan bags circling ...read more

    Overcoming The Bitter Root

     | 5,403 views

    Bitterness arises from failing to forgive someone who has wronged you. It comes from clinging to bad memories or hurtful experiences from the past and not letting them go. Many times bitterness will give rise to vengeance.

    Our sermon this morning is entitled, “Overcoming the Bitter Root.” Bitterness can be defined as harboring resentment and unforgiveness in our heart toward another person. Bitterness is also defined as, “extreme enmity,” “a grudge,” or “hatred.”(1) The meaning of the word bitter itself is, “sharp ...read more

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the formation of a value system; or rather, a "judgement" system. Living in the tree of life is making decisions from life and liberty, and what stimulates life in both you and others.

    This morning’s message is a continuation of last week’s on the tree of life, and I have entitled our sermon, “Living in the Tree of Life” – Part 2. I would like to begin with some food for thought by sharing a real life illustration of a historical figure who walked in the tree of life. George ...read more

    True spiritual fruitfulness comes when we surrender our lives to God, trusting Him to bring new life and abundance from our acts of faith.

    There’s a wonder in the way God works that often begins small and quiet, like a seed resting in the palm of your hand. If you’ve ever planted one, you know the hush of that moment. You press it into the soil, cover it with a thin blanket of earth, and walk away with a mixture of faith and ...read more
