    What Are You Seeking? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 18, 2007

    How do respond to a change in your environment? When Jesus comes on the scene he forces us to think in new ways. Learn how his early disciples dealt with the coming of a big change: the Messiah.

    How do you want people to think of you? I guess it depends on the situation-and your age. When I was younger I wanted to be cool, and I was so not. Today I could be thought of in many roles: husband, son, father, pastor, writer, or musician. When I’m with other pastors I could want to be thought of ...read more

    Before you can change you must decide that you want to be changed. There was a reason Jesus asked the question of the lame man, "Do you want to be well?" All of us must answer this crucial question.

    `“A Lame Excuse” John 5:1-15 Jesus has now come up from the city of Cana to the city of Jerusalem to celebrate one of the religious feasts. In Jerusalem there were different gates to enter and they were used for a variety of purposes. One of these gates was called the Sheep gate. ...read more

     | 10,294 views

    Prayer can change circumstances and prayer can change us. The Lord has told us to pray and never give up, both of these things are very hard when you are going through a hard time.

    Persistent Prayer Luke 18:1-18:6 Introduction- We will continue to look at Jesus parables and how we can apply his teachings to our life.

    Do We Want To Be Like Other Nations?

    America may change some aspects of government this election but it will not change the fact that the people remain in rebellion to God. We like so many other countries in the world are living out the cycle of sin as it is clearly displayed.

    Message: We have been witness to a national election in America. It was a very volatile and divisive election. What we saw played out in the United States is as old as time. The Bible points us to a time when Israel wanted to be like other nations. We see in their actions ancient facts ...read more

    The wise men were changed after being in the presences of Jesus, the King of kings. True worship should cause a change in us also...When we leave we should go home a different way.

    Today's scripture is a very familiar during the Christmas season...the story of the wise men and their visit to see Jesus. (Matthew 2:1-12) (1 Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 2 ...read more

    New Beginnings Series

     | 17,115 views

    We are often disappointed with new beginnings, especially with our resolutions to change in the coming year. The reason might be that we are looking to change the wrong things. We look at circumstances instead of looking at who we are within.

    Happy New Year! Some have heard me say before that this is my favorite time of year. It is … it feels sorta like we can start over … doesn’t it? In some ways we feel like we are starting fresh and because of this everything is possible. We haven’t done anything or failed ...read more

    Think about the power of sharing the Gospel, how it can pierce through the hardest heart and change a person's life. When a person responds to God, it changes their entire trajectory in life and eternal destiny.

    Last week we spoke about the powerful manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the new believers. The Spirit came down like a mighty rushing wind, filling the room, and filling them personally. That powerful filling overflowed into the streets below as people from every nation heard the ...read more

    With so many changes taking place in our culture today, IS THE CHURCH KEEPING PACE? Our MESSAGE must never change, but our METHODS do in order to reach the culture we’ve been commissioned to reach.

    October 13, 2002 – Covington, IN BEING CULTURALLY RELEVANT 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 It is a common mistake. Pastors and churches can be trapped by this misunderstanding and never know it.

    Some people draw a line and when you cross that line that are finished with you. No matter how much they prayed for you to change, they now don’t accept the change since it didn’t happen in their time frame.

    Buried Too Soon! John 11:1-44 Do you have anyone in your life that you are praying for?

    Paul was a man who had experienced Grace and he always referred to its power in the opening of his letters and in the closing of his letters because it changed his life. Grace changed a murderer of the church to a martyr of the church.
