    If you want to meet Jesus, you won’t find him at the pinnacle of earthly successes; you have to climb down to the Cornerstone-Jesus is always at the bottom of things, holding everyone else up.

    Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 There are four points here, and, I believe, they are connected. Humble Yourselves Peter (and the rest of the New Testament) has ...read more

    Many followed Jesus for what they can get out of Him. Peter followed Him because He is the Son of God and He has the words of eternal life.

    [RECAP last week’s sermon taken from Luke 9:57-62] Jesus wants us to be His disciples, who understand the heart of our Father and are willing to commit to doing His will on earth. • To do that well we need to be prepared for what we are getting ourselves into. • Jesus gave ...read more

    A message that uses the parable of the Good Samaritan to explain the doctrine of Justification by Grace Through Faith.

    Our Bible passage today is one of the most celebrated and renowned of our Lord's stories, the parable of the Good Samaritan. Well-known as it is, though, I believe it has a point that's easy to miss. Let's give it a close look, and see if you agree. Our passage begins in Luke 10:25 when a lawyer ...read more

    There's something wonderful about this season. There's something "Christmasy" about Christmas

    “The Four M’s Of Christmas” Luke 1 and 2 David P. Nolte This is a blessed time of year. Excitement fills the air, a sense of nostalgia pervades our minds, and there is a warmth in our hearts. But let me tell you about a single mother who didn't see Christmas like that. It was 1960. ...read more

    Seeking knowledge from God pleases Him and helps us to discern and apply it correctly.

    We are given some background to this passage. David was King of Israel for forty years. He ruled seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

    Paul’s life was like ours in that he had two kinds of friends.

    Come To The Table

    The table is more than just a place to have a meal. Other things happen at the kitchen or dining room table. Conversations take place at the table; people play games and do projects at the table. Special things happen at the table.

    COME TO THE TABLE We just had Thanksgiving where we got together with family and friends and gathered around the table. We like to hear that call, "dinner's ready, everyone come to the table". But that's not just a call to come and eat. The table is more than just a place to have ...read more

    There are simply far too many Christians out there who have this mistaken belief that church is just something that you go to for an hour or an hour and a half on Sunday morning. The truth is — you don’t go to church; you are the church!
