    To be connected to the Vine means that the life of Jesus is flowing in us & through us, & this leads to fruitfulness. Fruitfulness will be the inevitable outcome of an inner spiritual life with Jesus.

    JOHN 15: 7-11 HOW TO ABIDE [DWELL] IN JESUS’ LOVE [John 8: 31-35] We have learned that fruit-bearing is a byproduct of abiding in Christ for as Jesus said, “Apart from Me you can do nothing” (15:5b). Having an inner relationship with Jesus (as a branch is nourished and strengthened by a vine), ...read more

    In this text, Paul suggests three means through which we can live together in Christ. They summarize the content of this book.

    LIVING TOGETHER IN CHRIST Philippians 1:3-11 INTRODUCTION A. Living together requires more than living in the same house with someone. 1. During the week of Christmas 2001, Christine and I spent a week at her brother’s in Marquette, MI, along with her sister’s family from Oceanside, CA, and her ...read more

    Paul prays that we grow in our knowledge of God. Our salvation is a miracle of God. No one is beyond redemption. Our celebration of God's grace last forever.

    Eph 2:1-10 MADE ALIVE IN CHRIST Paul started this letter with a doxology in chapter 1, praising God for the work of the Gospel. • He praises God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit for their roles in saving us and giving us the hope of eternal life. • Before time begins, in time and beyond ...read more

     | 4,381 views

    Life is often a matter of focus? As we follow Christ, we can focus on the struggles and persecution we might endure. Or we can focus on the benefits, eternal and glorious, of continuing to follow Christ. Hebrews 2 encourages us to do the latter.

    The Cost of Abandoning Christ Hebrews 2:5-14 A few years ago we had what we called a water bottle outreach at Lazy 5 Recreational Area. It was during one of the music festivals they used to have there, before Covid, on weekday summer evenings. We would hand out water bottles and invitations to ...read more

    We are told that we are more than victorius through Christ. If that is so then why do so many Christ followers seem to have defeat and not victory. Because the only place victory comes before work is in the dictionary. A forgotten or ignored fruit of t

    Intro: Have you ever looked for victory in your spiritual life but had it vanish like a mist of fog? Are you searching for what it means to be more than a conqueror but feel conquered most of the time? Do you sing victory in Jesus and really don’t believe that it’s possible. If you ...read more

    Why Power Blinds Us Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 9, 2021
     | 1,939 views

    The Pharisees desire for power blinds them to the point where they acknowledge Jesus is doing miracles but still want to kill Him! What can we learn from their lust for power?

    THE PHARISEES WANT TO KILL THE GUY DOING MIRACLES: Power creates blind spots. - John 11:47-48, 53. - The connection between v. 47 and v. 53 is almost unbelievable. - In v. 47, the Pharisees admit that Jesus is doing many miraculous signs. - Yet in v. 53 they plot to take Jesus’ life. - What in ...read more

    We are born into the kingdom or God, and like babies in the natural our Father God expects us to grow up.

    There was a group of tourists who were visiting a picturesque village and came upon an old man sitting beside a fence. In a rather patronizing way, one of the tourist asked, “Were any great men born in this village?” The old man replied, “Nope, only babies.” Very true, only Adam and Eve did not ...read more

    20th and final message from a series on Ecclesiastes. Like Jesus, Qoheleth was committed to making disicples.

    When we began our journey through Ecclesiastes back on January 4, I introduced our study with a quote from the “Author’s Note” in the book Blue Like Jazz, written by Donald Miller: I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn’t resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad Theater in Portland one ...read more

    If we want to bear fruit for the glory of God this year, i.e., lead people to Christ on a regular basis and see their lives transformed for all eternity, then we must let Christ clean out the fruitless religion and we must get on our knees and pray.

    A clergyman dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans. Saint Peter says to this guy, “Who are you, so that I may know whether to admit you into the Kingdom of Heaven?” The guy replies, ...read more
