    Christ: Compassionate

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 6, 2000
    based on 46 ratings
     | 5,661 views

    Compassion comes first with Jesus.

    The gospel writers did not record for us every moment of the life of Christ. At the end of his account, John tells us that “...there were also many other things which Jesus did...”. And supposes that if they were all written in detail the world would not contain the books. That may be a ...read more

    Walk With Christ

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 4, 2011
     | 5,483 views

    In the calling of Peter, Andrew, James and John to follow Jesus we see a lesson for all who would follow Him that 1) A Disciple shows Diligence (Matthew 4:18–20) and 2) A Disciple shows Determination (Matthew 4:21–22)

    This week, in an apparent delusional rant, Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi warned western nations not to get involved in what he said was an internal Libyan affair. He said that western interference would result in another Vietnam, of extended loss of life. The world community is considering ...read more

    All suffering that a believer endures in the path of obedience is suffering for Christ and with Christ.

    INTRODUCTION Main emphasis: We should see all the hardship and suffering that comes to us in life as something that God brings to us to do us good, strengthening our trust in him and our obedience, and ultimately increasing our ability to glorify him. It seems to me that the suffering which God ...read more

    Freedom In Christ Dismiss God KIDZ OKAY – let’s do this! NOW – I want to start off this morning with two passages of Scripture that will be the foundation for this morning’s conversation.

    Feeding On Christ

    What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

    Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more

    THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST Please open your Bible to 2 Corinthians 5, for today’s message, “The Judgment Seat of Christ.” This message is so important that I tremble at the thought of not getting this right.

    A sermon response to the terrible tragic terrorist attack on America which happened Sept. 11, 2001.

    NOTE: I don’t normally preach a message at our mid-week service. We usually have a Bible devotion, followed by a "real" prayer meeting (we break-up into small groups and pray for about 35 - 45 minutes). The extraordinary events which happened this week caused me to change what we normally do. We ...read more

    This is a Fourth of July Sermon that focuses on the fact that through Christ we are granted freedom.

    John 8: 31- 36 (NIV) To the Jews who believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.

    The 12th in a series going through all Christ endured leading up to the Cross. The series ends Easter Sunday with the Glorious Resurrection

    We have been looking at 15 things they did to Jesus. Jesus suffered false trials and accusations, abuse, humiliation, mocking, blasphemy, beatings, the cross, and taunting of His works. He endured this because of His love for the world. He endured out of obedience to the Father and dedication to ...read more

    Seeing selfish ambition, vain conceit, discord, from persecution, Paul called on the church to “conduct themselves in a manner worthy” of their calling and not "of" the world. Just as Christ sacrificed Himself for the sake of others, we also are to offer

    INTRODUCTION A. LIFE TODAY IS NOT WHAT CHRIST INTENDED 1. We live in a “dog eat dog” world. 2. “SELF” rules We may view ourselves as did the Pharisee depicted by Jesus who prayed, “God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax-gatherer.
