    A good love song will give you goose bumps, especially if sung by a person who loves you. No matter what happens, Christians need to worship and praise God in song. (Based on a Charles Spurgeon sermon)

    Sermon Notes Holy Songs, Happy Saints Isaiah 5:1-7 (Second in the series Glorifying God) Introduction: Why would someone as busy and serious-minded as Isaiah take time to sing a song?

    Have you ever wondered to yourself; "How can everyone else seem to be so happy and full of joy when my life is so miserable?" How is it that other people can worship with unrestrained enthusiasm and I always feel so restricted? How is it that my friends are always "hearing from God" on

    Malgré les joies de la vie en Dieu et les bénédictions qui nous encouragent, nous sommes néanmoins englobés dans cette incertitude grandissante qui plane sur la planète.

    We have been in a series about FEAR. Good fear? Bad fear? Fear plays games with your emotions. Fear will always kill your faith. We must identify fear. Adam and Eve were afraid? Why? Why do we allow fear to steal our joy and peace?

    Jesus causes the dead to live. He pursues us, faithful to His promises, abounding in love. Though trials and temptations come, God’s grace goes along with us. As Christians we can expect much struggle and suffering. Yet we can also expect to encounter great grace and joy.

    We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is light” (Mt. 11:30). And we choose to run with that “easy” life! We love to forget that He also said, ““If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mt. 16:24)

    Weightless Faith Philippians 3:17-21 Is the Christian life only about avoiding wrong? Is an “Avoidance” lifestyle all that God expects of us or is there more? Like bringing Glory to God in faith by taking action! Serving others! We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is ...read more

    How Giving Works (Re:gift)

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Oct 15, 2019
     | 4,923 views

    Many people give out of guilt. The apostle Paul says we should give with joy! The only way we can do this is if we first realized just how joyfully generous God has been to us. When we see His joyful generosity, that encourages us to be joyfully generous ourselves.

    Opening and Introduction In our lesson tonight, we hear about farmers that plant seeds. If a farmer doesn’t plant, there won’t be anything to harvest later in the year. His livelihood depends on generously planting as many seeds as he can. This passage uses a lot of farming imagery. But what ...read more

    Do you believe that Jesus’ birth is ‘good news of great joy’? When we hear about some offer, we often subconsciously ask three questions. ‘Is it good?’ ‘Is it true?’ And, if it is good and true, ‘What should I do? We ask what Jesus' birth means.

    At the time of Jesus’ birth, there were some shepherds out in the field, watching their flock in the night. An angel appeared to them and told them: ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David A ...read more

    Can you think of someone who says they are a Christian but treats obeying God as optional? Many Americans hear about the cross and God’s grace and automatically believe they can do whatever they want.

    This morning, I want to answer this question, “What Good Is It to Obey God?” We are focusing on four habits/attitudes that every family should have in this series. Families are so much fun. Teenagers are so much fun! I recently watched a funny compilation by Chip Leighton, a father of two who has ...read more

    God calls ordinary, imperfect people to carry His name, assuring us that our past doesn’t disqualify us and His presence empowers our purpose.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Your hands shook a little when you poured the coffee. Your thoughts carried old regrets like heavy suitcases. You wonder, “Could God still use me? Does Heaven have a purpose for someone like me?” Friend, lift your chin. The heart of God is ...read more
