    Would You Too Reject Him?

    Contributed by John Herrmann on Oct 4, 2002

     | 6,473 views

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Mar 28, 2013
     | 5,151 views

    This message examines the fact that although we are condemned for our sins there is still hope.

    Paul has made quite a case against us up to this point. However, it is easy for us to sit back and look for those who we think are a lot worse than we are. We have a hard time accepting since we have not really done anything that bad, we are in danger of being condemned for our sins. Perhaps this ...read more

    If we are going to grow deeper, pruning must occur from time to time. While it may be painful, it is much better than the alternative. Pruning is necessary if we plan to grow deeper.

    “I heard it through the Grapevine” John 15:1-8 There we were sitting in the middle of our neighbor’s back yard. There was no fence and we were certainly allowed to be there but what we were doing wasn’t really allowed. Our neighbor grew a variety of things in his back ...read more

    We’ve all had that experience before I suppose … biting into a piece of fruit that’s not really ready—not ripe—it’s hard rather than soft—the taste has not developed and perhaps you have also picked an apple to eat and quickly took a bite only to discov

     | 7,094 views

    We are blessed when we draw our framer of reference for life from the Word of God rather than the counsel, behavior and attitudes of those who don't know God, don't want to know God, and despise God.

In the next few weeks we will be exploring the theme of obtaining God’s blessing from various parts of the Bible. God desires to bless us and has provided us with a blueprint for receiving His ...read more
