    If we want to be truly blessed and be a blessing to others, we must let God break us of our self-sufficiency and our sin.

    Recently, I came across an interesting set of statistics on sanity. According to the study, one out of every four Americans is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Now, think of your three best friends. If they’re okay, then it’s probably you. (Rita Mae Brown, Church Champions Update, ...read more

    The first set of four beatitudes focus on our vertical relationship to God, the second set of four on our horizontal relationship to people. Each of the eight builds upon the other so that there is an amazingly beautiful and compelling progression.

    Opening illustration: How good are you at making enemies? No, I didn’t ask how good you are at making friends. That’s easy. Just be a good Joe, an easy spender, a tolerant sort of fellow who never offends anybody. But how good are you at making enemies? If you are a child of God and ...read more

    Our call to go in this new direction was not unlike the call of Abraham in our Scripture today. God said, “Go!” Go where? “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing...

    Being a Blessing Genesis 12:1-3 When I arrived here more than six years ago as Pastor, I met with the congregation in small groups, and asked 3 simple questions: “What do you like about the church? What do you want to keep the same? What do you want to change?” Out of those ...read more

    We willingly accept the blessings of the Beatitudes, but must also embrace the responsibilities.

    THE BLESSINGS OF THE CHRISTIAN. Matthew 5:1-12. The Sermon on the Mount is directed towards those who are already disciples of Jesus (Matthew 5:1). This is important. It counters both those religious hopefuls who find the Beatitudes impossible to keep, and those religious moralists who glibly ...read more

    Dear Christian, how much grief befalls us because we fail to listen to the Word of God? Because we fail to RECOGNIZE the counsel of ungodly? Because we fail to AVOID areas and thoughts that lead us to sin? Because we think LIGHTLY of sin.

    The process: Ungodliness leads to sin, and sin leads to making a mock at sin. The idea: To start with walking in counsel that is ungodly leads to opening yourself up to outright sin, which in turn leads to feeling comfortable with it and where we eventually become numb to it and begin to laugh at ...read more

    Life is hard, even for Christians. In those difficult times we can sometimes forget the blessings we have in Christ. But when we start to see the bigger picture and understand how we are blessed in Christ, we can truly live in the joy of those blessings.

    Ok, I want to start with a question. Do you know where you are? That is kind of a funny question, isn’t it? Because of course you know where you are. But the reality is, that sometimes, we may not fully understand where we are until we see the bigger picture of our location and the ...read more

    Everyone needs a friend. What should we look for in a friend?

    There is nothing quite as special as a good friend. A good friend is one with whom you can talk about anything. You know they will listen. They will listen to the whole story rather than make quick judgments. They will make time for you. A true friend transcends times of separation. Several weeks ...read more

    When a local Body of Christ opens the door for a song service, they are giving opportunity for Christians and non-Christians to enjoy music that was written for the purpose of blessing the Lord and meant to be sung as a proclamation of His love for us.

    Title: Blessed, For The Singers Introduction: I would like to read to you from 2 Chronicles 25: 1, 6-7, “David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying, accompanied by harps, lyres and ...read more
