    I believe a lot of times the reason it's hard to witness to others is because they have had a bad experience with a Christian before. Maybe in a business deal or a friend backslid after trying to get their friend to come to Christ...and they were thinkin

    That's Just The Way I Am Series

    People are formed by NATURE and NURTURE, which they cannot control, but also by CHOICES, which they can control. They can choose VALUES, PERSPECTIVE, and ACTIONS. Yet how free to choose are they? Those who receive Christ are "born of God" (John 1:12-13)

    “THAT’S JUST THE WAY I AM”—Genesis 25:19-34 (Series on the life of Jacob: “Life is Messy; God Is Faithful”) “That’s just the way I am.” People say that, and maybe we say it about ourselves: “I’m shy…I’m not very tactful…I’m not assertive…I’m not a sensitive guy…My emotions take over…I’m a ...read more

    Make A Choice Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 4, 2021
    based on 6 ratings
     | 17,287 views

    Christianity is about making a choice. Do I choose to do things God's way, or mine? Do I choose to follow His wishes, or the wishes of others who disagree with Him? The Bible repeatedly tells us: "Make a choice."

    There is the story of the “good old boy” who came down out of the mountains one day. He was all dressed up and carrying his Bible. A friend saw him and asked, “Elias, what’s going on? Where are you going all dressed up like that?” Elias said, “I’ve been hearing about New Orleans. I hear that ...read more

    Faith Alone Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 30, 2024
     | 1,050 views

    The Gospel of Accomplishment: “You must believe and live right to be saved.” The Gospel of Approval: “I’m defined by what other people think about me.” Here’s our third counterfeit gospel: The Gospel of Self-Management - “You can change. Look inside you for the power to change.”

    We continue our series on Why the Reformation matters today by looking at the importance of faith. One of the critical pieces that came out of the Reformation was the belief that Faith Alone makes me acceptable to God. We will return back to Sean’s story a little later today. 500 years after ...read more

    If we could have one perfect Dad on Father’s Day and the rest of the year, whom would we choose? While the answers may be varied and many, I would choose Joseph of the New Testatment, to be the all time winner of the "Father of all Times."

    MATTHEW 1:19-25 WATCHING WISDOM WORKS WONDERS I. REVERENCE: * A. Reflection. B. Rectitude. C. Regularity. II. REALITY: ** A. Resignation. B. Responsibility. C. Relationships. III. RELIABILITY: *** A. Resilience. B. Resourceful. C. Resolve. Although Joseph was the earthly father of ...read more

    To have joy in the journey, you need to have the right foundation, the right friends, the right focus and the right finish.

    JOY IN THE JOURNEY Back in 1987 a musician named Michael Card wrote a song called Joy in the Journey that is one of my favourites. The song says, “There is a joy in the journey. There’s a light we can love on the way. There is a wonder and wildness to life, and freedom for those who obey.” The ...read more

    True Intimacy

    Contributed by Mario Incerti on Nov 13, 2004
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,590 views

    But true servanthood is choosing to love someone when you are hurt and unappreciated. You choose to serve, like God chose to serve man and woman and it was at the point when his heart had been broken. It was a time he was most hurt, he had to let them go.

    True Intimacy Read Genesis 2:21-23 The relationship challenge for most of us is to really understand what God meant by loving one another and what we believe loving one another means? What does loving someone mean to you? Think about your husband, wife, children, brother and sister, mother and ...read more

     | 18,481 views

    The world is in desperate need of love, agape love: willful, purposeful, decisional, sacrificial love. In today's passage, Jesus points us to the source of that love, urges us to choose it as an act of obedience, and sometimes to love until it hurts.

    John 15:9-17  What the World Needs Now In 1965 Burt Bacharach wrote a song he didn’t believe in. He and Hal David offered it to performer Dionne Warwick, who turned it down. Bacharach was reluctant to play it for Jackie DeShannon, but he finally did, and she liked it. Together they recorded, ...read more
